There is nothing in the Constitution or any statute that requires two citizen parents for a child to be a natural born citizen.

Then WHY the specific term “Natural Born Citizen” and not simply the term “Citizen” as is used elsewhere? There MUST have been a difference to the founders, otherwise they would have not used it. Vattel is quoted in Franklin’s writings and after all, he was there for the creation of the constitution, a member representing his state. He received three copies of Vattel’s The Law of Nations. Vattel is cited in numerous Supreme court Decisions with reference to the meaning of Natural Born Citizen. He was considered THE EXPERT at the time on International Law, besides being a Diplomat and a Philosopher.
Remain ignorant of the constitution if you insist. I have given you several references. Do your own research.
I am tired of trying to explain FACTS to people who spout drivel in defense of their prize pig.
