"Both parents must be U.S. citizens at the time of your birth."

Nope. That is not the law.

That is the law regarding special citizenship called “natural-born citizenship.”

Another one to add to the "deliberately ignorant" list.

So what is the law? Please cite it.

It’s NOT a “LAW”, its the CONSTITUTION of the UNITED STATES.

Article II, Section 1, Clause 5.

Vice President Article XII.

The term “natural born citizen was well known to the founders. They were aware of and believed in the definition in the book:
The Law of Nations or the Principles of Natural Law (1758)
EMMERICH DE VATTEL
BOOK 1, CHAPTER 19
Page 212, (in part)
“...natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens....”
IN the country, parent”S” (plural), who ARE citizen”S” (plural).
“...it was from Vattel’s The Law of Nations, more than anywhere else, that America’s founders learned the Leibnizian natural law, which became the basis for the American System.”
“The majority of this essay will be devoted to reviewing the contents of Vattel’s The Law of Nations, and its documented impact on America’s founding fathers.”

For some “light” reading. /s

That is the definition of “natural born citizen”. Think about it ... a diplomat family has a child while stationed in the U.S. Are you saying that child qualifies to become president some day? No, they are NOT. She may be a citizen through a faulty reading of the 14th amendment, but she is not a “natural born citizen”.
