Makes him a natural-born citizen the same way the children of an overseas diplomat are natural-born citizens.
Coulter's wrong on this one. We went through this stuff with a fine-tooth comb with Obama. Even though I think he lied about his birth certificate, etc., since his mother was an American citizen, he was a natural-born citizen.
No, Coulter may be factually correct on this one. Although I think it doesn't matter. Look up the difference between naturalized citizen and natural-born citizen, there is a difference. From a definition of natural-born citizen:
"The Constitution also mentions "natural born citizen". The first naturalization Act (drafted by Thomas Jefferson) used the phrases "natural born" and "native born" interchangeably."
That means born in the U.S.A.
Naturalized citizen refers to those born of American citizens abroad. At one time it excluded those who had a non-American father, which was changed soon after to include either mother or father as an American. If either case applies, one can be a senator. Not so with the Presidency or Vice Presidency.
It really doesn't matter, because the original intent was to prevent foreign influence over who governs our nation. There is plenty of foreign influence that went on with American presidents born here. As Hillary would say, "what difference does it make!".
