Those references refer only to a “child” not a child of two US citizens. But what those quotes do show is that aliens who have children in such circumstances do not birth US citizens which should also mean that Illegals should not be able to pass on citizenship to their children born here.
Nor do they change the fact that officers of the US do not see their children deprived of US citizenship if they happen to be born aboard.
Donofrio is full of it and working for the enemy.

7 FAM 1131.6-2 Eligibility for Presidency
(TL:CON-68; 04-01-1998)
a. It has never been determined definitively by a court whether a person
who acquired U.S. citizenship by birth abroad to U.S. citizens is a naturalborn
citizen within the meaning of Article II of the Constitution and,
therefore, eligible for the Presidency.
b. Section 1, Article II, of the Constitution states, in relevant part that “No
Person except a natural born Citizen...shall be eligible for the Office of
President;”
c. The Constitution does not define “natural born”. The “Act to establish an
Uniform Rule of Naturalization”, enacted March 26, 1790, (1 Stat.
103,104) provided that, “...the children of citizens of the United States,
that may be born ... out of the limits of the United States, shall be
considered as natural born citizens: Provided that the right of citizenship
shall not descend to persons whose fathers have never been resident in
the United States.”

d. This statute is no longer operative, however, and its formula is not
included in modern nationality statutes. In any event, the fact that
someone is a natural born citizen pursuant to a statute does not
necessarily imply that he or she is such a citizen for Constitutional
purposes.

Instead of toiling in the trenches as a keyboard commando, Donofrio is DOING SOMETHING about the illegitimacy of Obama.
Perhaps, the USSC will define further (as is their duty) what the requirements for Presidency are, specific to the natural born citizen factor.
“Donofrio is full of it and working for the enemy.”
I think he is full of love for our Republic and for our Constitution and is working to make sure our Constution is upheld. I would call that working for all Americans and fighting against those who would limit our freedoms by trashing our Constitution.
