So your interpretation of “natural born citizen” requires that your parents also be citizens (and not merely legal residents) at the time of your birth. Do they also have to be natural born citizens? If so, how many generations do you have to go back?
Under the 14th Amendment, she was born a citizen. That would not necessarily be the case if her parents had been illegal aliens and, therefore, “not subject to the jurisdiction” of the U.S. That is not an issue because her parents were both here legally when she was born.

It’s not my interpretation...it’s the law. If her parents were US “citizens” at the time of her birth, she would be natural born..they were not, and she is not. obama got away with it because he was black, no other reason. Haley, if she should run, will not be so lucky. Same with Rubio. Also applies to Kamala Harris from the democratic party.
