In the absence of a vote in both chambers on a legislative measure and a president’s signature, speeches given on the floor of the House are not laws..

Presidents with foreign born parents: Andrew Jackson (Irish mother & father), Thomas Jefferson (English mother), James Buchanan (Irish father), Chester Arthur (Irish father), Woodrow Wilson (English mother), Herbert Hoover (Canadian mother), and Barack Obama (Kenyan father).

Supreme Court of The United States: Elk v Wilkins, 112 U. S. 94 (1884)

“The distinction between citizenship by birth and citizenship by naturalization is clearly marked in the provisions of the constitution, by which ‘no person, except a natural-born citizen, or a citizen of the United States at the time of the adoption of this constitution, shall be eligible to the office of president;’ and ‘the congress shall have power to establish an uniform rule of naturalization.’Const. art. 2, § 1; art. 1, § 8.

This section [of the 14th Amendment] contemplates two sources of citizenship, and two sources only: birth and naturalization. The persons declared to be citizens are ‘all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof.’”

So you are not satisfied because a law defining common knowledge does not exist.
