Does anyone really believe the founders would consider an "anchor baby" with Chinese parents a natural born citizen that would be eligible to serve as POTUS? What about the children of all the trophy wives living in the middle east or Russia are those all natural born citizens and also eligible to serve as POTUS?

Some adult female gets infatuated with say an ISIS fighter and goes to Syria, gets knocked up and has a child. That child lives with his dad until he is an adult then the child comes to the USA and that child is a NBC and can run for president? This scenario is exactly why the founders put the NBC clause into the Constitution. Void it and you or your children will regret it.

No, and nowhere did I ever imply that they would. A child born of two Chinese parents (i.e., they are not U.S. citizens), is not a natural born American citizen if born in the U.S. That baby is a Chinese citizen. Good grief, read what I've been saying over the last several posts. By your logic, are you implying that because I was born in the U.S. to a citizen father but a non-citizen mother, I am not a natural born citizen? American law requires that at least one of the parents must be a U.S. citizen at the birth of the child in order for that child to be a natural born citizen. That child can be born anywhere.
