Interesting take in the “natural born” citizen debate.

I’ll throw a twist with my own background. My parents came from Asia to America on student visas. During the Winter semester break my mom, pregnant with me, visited friends in Canada for the Holidays. I was then born in Canada. After my birth, my mom returned to America to complete her studies. Both my parents become naturalized citizens a few years after graduation. I officially became a naturalized citizen when I was in grade school. The question is: Do I meet eligibility for President?

No, you don't. Assuming you meet the other eligibility requirements such as age, you're eligible for every elected office in this country with the exception of President and Vice President.

No, because you were naturalized.
