“There is no foundation in either the Constitution or US precedent for the silly position that somebody’s parents have to be citizens at the time of his birth for that person to be a natural born citizen.”

You’re wrong according to the Supreme Court!
“The US Supreme Court definition of an Article 2 Section 1 natural-born citizen as stated in Minor v Happersett is strictly limited to those persons born in the United States to parents who were citizens.”

You lie!

That case says no such thing. The Chief Justice SPECIFICALLY said they were not going to address whether there was more than one definition because it wasn’t necessary for the case.
