Constitution requires birth to citizen parents and birth on U.S. soil.

Except that those born "in the armies" (which would include all the services) and in the diplomatic corps who are counted as "born in the country" regardless of actual physical birth location. That's what "Law of Nations" says, and it's only reasonable common sense.

I don’t have a problem with that; was just going by the definition offered by the SCOTUS.
