“Citizens at the time of birth” isn’t the same as “natural-born citizens.” Every Mexican woman who pops out a kid while shopping in San Diego for the day gives birth to a “ citizen at birth.” But that offspring will never be president ( at least that’s what the Constitution says), So from what I see, nothing you have written has any effect on FUBO’s eligibility to be president.

The first intelligent point. Hats off to you.

You are correct in that kids spit out are eligible under section sec 1401, however, there is section 1481 which indicates how this citizenship can be revoked:

-Becoming naturalized in another country

-Swearing an oath of allegiance to another country

-Serving in the armed forces of a nation at war with the U.S., or if you are an officer in that force

-Working for the government of another nation if doing so requires that you become naturalized or that you swear an oath of allegiance

-Formally renouncing citizenship at a U.S. consular office

-Formally renouncing citizenship to the U.S. Attorney General

-By being convicted of committing treason

My guess is that of kids born of illegals, you’ll either see them stay in the U.S., and be eligible to run for president, or go back to Mexico and be naturalized there, (so they can vote there, etc.), in which case they won’t be eligible to run in the U.S.
