One is NATURALLY a US citizen when one cannot possibly be anything else.
Born here of citizen parents.

One can be a natural-born citizen by two rules: jus sanguinas OR Jus soli. You would disqualify y a million or more Americans born abroad. but now living in the United States, including three of my children. Don’t forget that the words natural and native have the same Latin root.

Wrong.

One is natural born when a citizen at birth, requiring no naturalization process to become a citizen nor foreswearing of citizenship in another country. Mom-to-be - American citizen - takes a job in Canada. Baby born while she is there. Baby is citizen at birth. Not naturalized later, but natural born citizen

Congress is given the power to define by statute.

Posting the wrong answer a trillion times will not make it true.

Is not determined by “soil” when birthed. Determined by a parent who is a citizen of the United States. Not two parents, according to applicable statute, one parent.

This is not a trick question. The law is not designed to deny natural born status to a baby whose mom served or worked across a boundary line, or who went shopping across a boundary line one day, suddenly the baby came, and you fantasize the founders wanted to make sure that after she comes home across the boundary line with her baby she birthed on the other side, her baby can’t grow up and run for President???

You lack a scintilla of perspective on what NBC was ever about in reality.

Your insistence is disconnected from everything. It is arbitrary and absurd on its face to think that a Ted Cruz or the offspring of an American serving overseas is who the founders wanted to stop from running for POTUS.

Born to an alien father in a foreign land.

If it was a Democrat, you know what they all would say.
