How can he be a natural born citizen when his parents were both foreign nationals and they weren’t even naturalized yet?

Because, as the Indiana Court of Appeals already ruled and no other court has overruled: “Based upon the language of Article II, Section 1, Clause 4 and the guidance provided by Wong Kim Ark, we conclude that persons born within the borders of the United States are “natural born Citizens” for Article II, Section 1 purposes, regardless of the citizenship of their parents. Just as a person “born within the British dominions [was] a natural-born British subject” at the time of the framing of the U.S. Constitution, so too were those “born in the allegiance of the United States natural-born citizens.”—Indiana Court of Appeals, “Ankeny et. al. v The Governor of Indiana, Mitch Daniels,” Nov. 12, 2009

There is no court decision in the entire history of the American republic which has ruled that two American citizen parents are required in order for a candidate or elected official to be considered a “Natural Born Citizen” and therefore eligible to run for or assume the office of president or vice president.

Because he was born on U.S. soil and his parents subject to U.S. law, duh.
