“...born of a country to parents who are its citizens....”
I comprehend just fine. I was asking for a cite of that wording which is not in Article II of the Constitution.

The USSC decision in Minor v Happersett quotes De Vattel’s “Law of Nations” definition of Natural Born Citizen exactly in answering the question of whether Elizabeth was a citizen. She was born in the US of 2 American citizen parents. Therefore a born US citizen with the quality of being a NBC.
Note that in USSC Decision Wong Kim Arc, Mr. Wong was determined to be a born citizen, but NOT an NBC.
You may want to take a look at the Elg Decision, 1934. Same definition....born in a country to parents who were its citizens.
