“Congress and the Supreme court has defined Natural born citizenship as being born to parents whom are American citizens.”

False. Congress has said that someone BORN OVERSEAS of 2 American parents is a NBC. The Supreme Court has said anyone born in the US of parents in amity with the US Government is a NBC.

What Congress said is CHILDREN OF CITIZENS SHALL BE CONSIDERED NATURAL BORN. in THE NATURALIZATION ACT OF 1790 they included children of citizens born overseas. In the term. of 1790 the wording “that may be “ means INCLUDING. So to better understand the phrase in our current useage of language the statment should be read as CHILDREN OF CITIZENS(INCLUDING THOSE BORN OVERSEAS) SHALL BE CONSIDERED NATURAL BORN. This has been been upheld by a number of Supreme Court cases.(for example :Minor vs. Happensett Children who parents are U.S. citizens are Natural Born)
