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

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?
mlo, I’ll wait patiently for your definitive answers to my questions in Post 76 above. I trust you will respond.
Because of the "and subject to the jurisdiction" part of the 14th Amendment. Foreign diplomats enjoy immunity from our laws and cannot be prosecuted if they violate them unless their home country allows it. They are not subject to our jurisdiction and because of that if they have a child while here that child is not a citizen.
No, of course not. It's a silly question. They are not citizens because they are one of the classes that do not fall "under the jurisdiction". We all know that.
What we're talking about here is a regular person. Not a diplomat, not an invading soldier. Just a regular person that's a foreign citizen but inside the US.
