Not according to our founding fathers. Everyone running for the office of president must be born in the USA, to parents also born in the USA.
If I’m wrong...show me where.
“to parents also born in the USA.”
Where does it say that in the Constitution?
The Constitution merely says that anyone elected to the Presidency must be an NBC. It doesn't define the term. Court decisions or statutory law would have to do that. Can you cite a court decision or a federal statute that says what you claim?
>>>If I’m wrong...show me where.
“Natural born” in common law at the time of the writing of the constitution was taken to mean being born to parents who were CITIZENS.
How ‘bout you show us why you’re right?
Really? So it is your contention that the Fathers of our Country would withhold the presidency to someone born overseas whose father/mother was on active duty and born in a foreign hospital?
That's a new one. I highly doubt that was their intent.
So the first 8 or nine presidents (or more) were ineligible, according to your criteria. Since the US was not a country prior to 1776, any president born prior to that year could not be “natural born citizens” since their parents obviously could not have citizens of the USA at the time of the birth. If you go by the stricter criteria (parents must have been born in the USA), then most of the presidents up until 1900 were probably ineligible.

The citizens are the members of the civil society bound to this society by certain duties and subject to its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives, or natural born citizens, are those born in the country of parents who are citizens. As society cannot perpetuate itself otherwise than by children of the citizens, those children naturally follow the condition of their parents and succeed to all their rights. Again, I say to be of the country, it is necessary to be born of a person who is a citizen for if he be born there of a foreigner, it will be only the place of his birth, and not his country.
Born of parents who are citizens - it does not specifically state that the parents must be born here, just that they are to be citizens. The parents allegiance would lie with the United States, thus it also would be with the child! No divided allegiance!

How about you back up your assertion? Vattel spoke of "parents who are citizens".
