It’s very clear and was understood, taught and known to be the standard definition of Natural Born Citizen:

Born on US soil, to parents (note the plural!) who are US citizens.

If the foreign national parent is naturalized, then any children born after the parent is a naturalized citizen are, by definition, NBCs. Both parents have to be citizens, but they don’t have to be NBCs. Just “regular” citizens.

Sorry you don’t like it, hon, facts are facts. Sentimentalism and emotionalism are no way to run a country.

It’s a red flag when what you propose to be the law leads to absurd results. As Dickens wrote: “ If that be the law, then the law is a ass, a idiot.”

Our constitutional law is neither, and your and Trump’s bizarre interpretation would never be upheld by any appellate court in the modern era.
