That is why the framers of the Constitution wrote the distinction between citizens and "Natural Born" citizens. It does not matter 'where' you are 'born' but how you are born. If both of your parents are citizens of the U.S. then you are naturally a citizen of your parents country. Your parents could be on a ship at sea in international waters and you would be born a natural citizen of the U.S. BOTH parents must be citizens of the U.S. for you to be 'born' a natural citizen of the U.S. This is not rocket science. Read the literature of the times. It was well understood and needed no expansion in the text of the constitution.
