Natural Born Citizen means those born within and under the authority of the realm. That is what it meant at the time it was written, and if the Framers meant for it to mean something other than the understood meaning of the phrase at the time they wrote it, they would not have used the term, and obviously would have spelled out eligibility not using a phrase but by a precise definition. Moreover, this has also been adjudicated multiple times to confirm this. So anyone born in the United States to parents legally within and under the authority of the United States is a Natural Born Citizen. Easy to look up, easy to verify.
Anything said to the contrary is objectively false.
“Natural Born Citizen means those born within and under the authority of the realm.”
As John Jay pointed out at the time, after the Declaration of Independence was adopted, we were no longer jus soli (place of birth) ‘subjects’ of the realm but jus sanguinis (right of blood) citizens by consent in a constitutional Republic.
If Obama, or Harris, or any other presidential candidates —and there will be others, including Republicans — who want to turn back the clock just so they can pursue their own political ambitions at our expense, and we fail to stand up against this theft, we are no better than them, and perhaps even worse because we knew better and said nothing.

Kamala’s father couldn’t sit on a jury as a noncitizen, couldn’t vote as a noncitizen, and couldn’t be drafted. Kamala’s parents were not within and under the authority of the United States when Kamala was born in Oakland, California. At the time of her birth, Kamala’s parents owed allegiances to other sovereigns than the United States.
