WOW! From your link...
A natural-born citizen refers to someone who was a U.S. citizen at birth, and did not need to go through a naturalization proceeding later in life.
The woman is a USC 8 citizen. Her parents were NOT citizens, they were ALIENS covered by USC 8.
In contrast, § 1401 lists eight categories of peoples who are "nationals and citizens of the United States at birth," including those born in the United States and subject to its jurisdiction...
Her birth to TWO ALIENS placed her squarely under those laws.
Such placement is de facto naturalization.

The constitution does not expressly define “natural born” nor has the Supreme Court ever ruled precisely upon its meaning.
That is a flat out lie. MINOR v. HAPPERSETT does exactly that!

The Constitution does not, in words, say who shall be natural-born citizens. Resort must be had elsewhere to ascertain that. At common-law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives, or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners. Some authorities go further and include as citizens children born within the jurisdiction without reference to the citizenship of their parents. As to this class there have been doubts, but never as to the first. For the purposes of this case it is not necessary to solve these doubts.
