“A Natural Born Citizen is a Person Born in the United States or a Territory of the United States or a Person that is Born of American Parentage on Foreign Soil.”

I don’t think this would be specific enough. What if that latter child and her/his parents lived overseas from the birth of the child until the child was 25? That child’s entire developmental years would have been spent an ocean away from America’s culture. What allegiance might that child have? What if the parents/child later switched to the citizenship of that other country?

The time in which the child of American parents (and it would need to be specified if one or both need to be citizens of America) is born and lives in the foreign country would have to be a mandated short time, I would think. In other words, born there out of necessity.

That would have to be legislated and there is no one in DC that would propose such legislation.
