Thank you hoosiermama, good point about the Natural Born vs Citizen issue.
I wish there was a more legal explanation. Has this ever been explored in a court?
Just curious.
If you look at Cort’s ammendments (posted today)you’ll see quite a discussion of the issue. Posts here might help understand it better.

The Constitution does not require that both parents be citizens in order for a person to be “natural born”.
For case law, see US vs. Wong, 1897 or so. The US confers citizenship jus soli, by virtue of place of birth, not jus sanguinis, by blood.
