With a parent who was an American citizen, Constitutionally and legally, no case at all.

Based on what?

Historically and legally, the only exceptions to the "natural born" rule were the children of royalty, ambassadors, and invading armies.

Based on the history and the law, I think even the case for a child of students on student visas would be very weak. But it's at least possible to make, as the Wong case dealt with a child of immigrants.

Anyone who had a citizen parent, or even a RESIDENT parent, would clearly be good to go.
