Oh yeah. The parents would have whatever influence that POTUS allows them to. You have forgotten how the MSM insured that the general voting public would know as little about him as possible. I’m pretty sure that I know what the founders meant. They surely didn’t intend for a Marxist usurper with an admitted multiplicity of citizenships at birth to be POTUS. I am abso-bloody-lutely positive of that!!!!

The following is the holding of the U.S. Supreme Court. There is no clearer statement of the issue of who is natural born than this.

U.S. Supreme Court
U.S. v. WONG KIM ARK, 169 U.S. 649 (1898)

“It thus clearly appears that by the law of England for the last three centuries, beginning before the settlement of this country, and continuing to the present day, aliens, while residing in the dominions possessed by the crown of England, were within the allegiance, the obedience, the faith or loyalty, the protection, the power, and the jurisdiction of the English sovereign; and therefore every child born in England of alien parents was a natural-born subject, unless the child of an ambassador or other diplomatic agent of a foreign state, or of an alien enemy in hostile occupation of the place where the child was born.

“III. The same rule was in force in all the English colonies upon this continent down to the time of the Declaration of Independence, and in the United States afterwards, and continued to prevail under the constitution as originally established.”
