Both parents would have had to have been citizens at the moment of her birth.

Just not true. That's made up birther law.

“Both parents would have had to have been citizens at the moment of her birth.”

Factually, neither parent needed to be a citizen at the time of her birth. This is the definition of an anchor baby. So it doesn’t make any difference if either was a citizen of the US as pursuant to the Fourteenth Amendment and the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) a person born within and subject to the jurisdiction of the United States automatically acquires US citizenship, known as jus soli. She was born on US property, OPakland, CA, she’s a citizen whether they are or not. And as a citizen born on US property, she can even run and win the presidency at some point. God help us.

Not true. While my father is an American citizen, my mother is a British Subject. I have two birth certificates; one issued by the British government, and a "Record of an American Born Abroad" issued by the U.S. Consulate. I do hold two passports although that may stop since the UK has broken from the EU; and even still have a NHS number for the UK even though it hasn't been used in 30+ years.
