That citizenship of her parents has nothing to do with her eligibility.

“That citizenship of her parents has nothing to do with her eligibility.”

Hmm...

When both parents are citizens and the child is born on US soil then the children are natural born. When only one or neither parent is a citizen then the child is also only a 14th Amendment citizen with all the same rights as a Natural Born Citizen except that of the President.

Many people confuse the term Native Born with Natural Born. The meaning of the terms is quite different now. The meaning of Natural Born has never changed. The Native born meaning changed in 1866 with the adding of the 14th Amendment.

Not any more, but it did before the Obama election. Natural Born refers to the progeny of citizens, natural born or naturalized. It does not include non-citizen parentage. That has all been wiped away now by Congressional Declaration which seems a slippery way to amend the Constitution.

Because she was born in the US?

What about children of foreign embassy staff who are born in the US... are THEY “natural born citizens” eligible to run for the presidency when they become of age and meet the other requirements? And, if not, why not?

Of course it does, it has everything to do with her eligibility. Parents not being American citizens at the time of her birth in CA means she is a citizen not a natural born citizen.

If foreign parents were ok the founders would not have had to write the exception in the clause.

According to the Constitution, it does.

If only you kept quiet, no one would know just how ignorant you are.

You lie. Of course it does. She is NOT a natural-born citizen.
