He is a natural born citizen if both parents were citizens at the time of his birth; otherwise he is a native born citizen.

Please cite where that definition of natural born citizen is in the Constitution.

I also firmly believe that to be eligible to be president, one simply needs to be born on American soil.

But go to Wikipedia under “natural born citizen” and you see:

“There is general agreement that the term encompasses, as a minimum, anyone born on U.S. soil to U.S. citizen parents.”

“general agreement” my arse! I tried to edit it to leave out the words “ ...to U.S. citizen parents” but it got rejected.
