‘A child born to U.S. citizens can be born anywhere in the world, and he is a U.S. Citizen.’
Yes the child can be a US citizen but he is NOT a natural born citizen, one who has undivided loyalty or sole allegiance to USA. After all, the child was born under a foreign jurisdiction and subject to that jurisdiction thru parentage.

Consider this -
a child born in USA to foreign parents (say Mexican) can be a US citizen, but as far as his parents’ country (Mexico) is concerned, the child is their citizen (i.e. a Mexican) by parentage. The child is under Mexican jurisdiction as well as US jurisdiction, so he/she has dual citizenship and multiple allegiance, which means he/she is NOT a natural born citizen elig to be the pres of USA

Sole allegiance is the main issue!

No, you're wrong about that. Contrary to "popular opinion", the 14th Amendment does not grant U.S. citizenship to children of foreigners. This has been "interpreted" incorrectly for decades, and all those children born to illegals (or even holders of valid visas) should not be considered U.S. citizens.
