Where does it say that?

For one, in the Citizenship study guide, for those seeking naturalization.

Anchor babies are still citizens of another country, likely carrying loyalty to that foreign nation, like the LaRaza protestors burning our flag.

Rights
There are two rights afforded only to U.S. citizens: the right to vote and the right to run for federal office.

I have looked through the Citizenship study guide and it does not contain any reference to becoming president. It only stated the above about the question. Maybe this will help:

The U.S. Constitution

Article II, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution imposes only three eligibility requirements on persons serving as president, based on the officeholder’s age, time of residency in the U.S., and citizenship status:

“No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.”

These requirements have been modified twice in history. Under the 12th Amendment, in 1749, the same three qualifications were applied to the vice president of the United States. The 22nd Amendment, in 1789, limited office holders to two terms as president.
There is no mention of any deviation in citizenship other than born on US soil as I have displayed in my posts from a number of sources.

This whole thing is a loophole in the 14th Amendment that has been used before. The intent of the 14th was not to say go or stop on running for president. It was put in to determine the citizenship of the freed slaves from the war from 1861 to 1865. Someone figured how to use it for the purpose of creating not only citizenship, but legally getting a successful presidential run like Obama’s. And even though his birth is in question, officially he is a duel citizen of both the US and England who controlled Kenya at the time of his birth in 1961 until they were given their freedom in late 1963. But that birth certificate in England is still sealed so proving he wasn’t born on US soil is not going to happen.

I don’t support it, but it is legal. And I can’t find any information that says a child born in US soil is not a citizen at birth for any reason, just the opposite.
