You said anyone whose mother is a US citizen is a natural born citizen. What about those whose mothers came to the US to give birth, like those maternity trips from China, picked up the US citizenship for their child, then the baby went home to China to be raised and give birth to a child in China, with a Chinese fatherr. That person’s child is a natural born citizen of the US? HUH????
Not anyone. The law does place some restrictions on those born overseas. But those born in the U.S. are natural-born citizens regardless of their parent's nationality.
