That's incorrect. The original meaning of the term came from the English common law, which requires only birth in the territory, regardless of the citizenship of one's parents. I previously cited James Madison, and I would like to think he was aware of its original meaning.
Completely incorrect.
To be a "natural born citizen" one must be born in the US mainland of TWO US citizen parents.
