“If you are born in the United States, regardless of your parentage, you are a “natural born citizen” and, thus eligible to be president once you have attained the necessary age.”

But but but... Supreme Court Cases since the ratification of the Fourteenth Amendment restrict citizenship claims based on being born geographically within the United States, and bestows the coveted “natural born citizen” title to the children of citizens, while affirming simple citizenship to the children born to aliens.
