I’m satisfied that being born to an American mother is enough regardless where. Though the Supreme Court does not agree? Let them adjudicate it then.

Well that's nice. But it's not the law. The laws currently says that in order for a child born of one American citizen, married to a foregin national to be a citizen at birth, the American Citizen must have lived 2 year after their 14th birthday in the US. At the time Barack H. Obama Jr. was born, the requirement was 5 years. His mother hadn't been alive 5 years after her 14th birthday, she was 17 when she got pregnant, and 18 on the date claimed as his birthdate.

You could look it up.
