Anyone born on US soil and over 35 is eligible- sad but true. Anchor babies like Heels Harris are indeed as eligible as you and I

When I was a kid, there’s no doubt I was taught that “natural born citizen” meant born in the US of parents who were US citizens.

Totally wrong.

Reason 5: Supreme Court precedent
In Minor v. Happersett (1874), all children born in the United States were divided into two categories: those whose parents were U.S. citizens, and
those whose parents were not.

The Court used the term “natural born citizen” only in reference to members of the first category.

The Court doubted
whether members of the second category were even citizens, let alone natural born citizens

* On one side is born in US from citizen parents.
* On the other side is born in US to anyone, including illegals
* In the middle is born in the US to permanent residents or citizens (a SCOTUS tested criteria for birthright citizenship).
* To the left of the middle is born in the US to foreign parents (like Kampala’s) here on temporary visas (as with illegal parents, an untested criteria for birthright citizenship).

You’ve already been given some examples, there are many others.

There’s a residency “requirement” too, probably satisfied by keeping a PO box.
