The Trumpswabs argument is that anchor babies are natural born and eligible while a citizen born to a citizen outside the US is not. They are as stupid as the day is long.

Not true, a correct interpretation of the 14th Amendment (and the current interpretation has never really been tested in court) would be that anchor babies are not born “under the jurisdiction of the United States” because their parents have no legal right to be here. So not citizens, and by extension, if they’re not citizens at all, they’re obviously not going to be eligible to the Presidency.

Not if their parent(s) aren’t citizens at the time of their birth.

he Trumpswabs argument is that anchor babies are natural born

Trump has said all along that anchor babies are not citizens and too heat several times from Bill O'Reilly. How many lawyers can you find here that will declare anchor babies are citizens? That fallacy is not even based on a decision but on a footnote on a decision.
