That’s been decided a long time ago, but a few refuse to accept reality:

The Venus, 12 U.S. 8 Cranch 253 253 (1814)

Shanks v. Dupont, 28 U.S. 3 Pet. 242 242 (1830)

Minor v. Happersett , 88 U.S. 162 (1875)

United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649 (1898)

All four of these cases held essentially the sam
e definition: That two citizen parents are require.

But the squirmers try to find a wiggle word somewhere in the decisions to frasp at rather than just accepting what the court held four times.

Hey thanks I get into heated battles with the Commies, here in Fort Leftyville over their Pets eligibility!

Rather than try to debate case law I will simply ask:

Is there any chance that you, as a lay person, are simply mistaken as to what those cases decided and what the meaning of Natural Born Citizen is under current US law?

Please give the exact quote from Minor which supports this alleged holding with a pinpoint cite. (You’ll have to look this term up. I know you couldn’t be a lawyer because any 1L who read the Mino opinion would not make such absurd claims.)

I’ll save you the trouble. It’s not there. Nor is the imaginary “Both parents must be citizens for the child to be a NBC” requirement found in the test of the Constitution. Nor in any SCOTUS decision. Nor in the U.S. Code.
