Would you consider your Daughter a naturalized American citizen or Native born?

I would say native born. My wife is a citizen (naturalized) and I am a citizen born in the USA. We both were holding US diplomatic passports. I was posted abroad in Jakarta and my daughter was born in Singapore. Given our diplomatic status and assignment abroad in the service of my country, I would say native born. But my opinion is not law, which is why I want it resolved in the courts.

We have 300,000 anchor babies born each year to illegal aliens; thousands of tourists come here to have their children; and there are up to 15 million green card holders in the US, many of whom elect not to become citizens. Should their children be considered natural born as it pertains for eligibility to be President?

I should add definitely not naturalized since that process was never used to transmit citizenship. My daughter was placed on my wife’s passport and we filed a Consular Report of Birth Abroad.
