My reply is:
YES, that’s EXACTLY what you’re saying - that your definition of natural born citizen is anyone born anywhere in the world with one US citizen parent, or born in the US regardless of the status of either or both parents, regardless of the fact that other countries may have LEGAL claim on that person.
Your definition is incompatible with the Founders’ stated intent that the President and Commander-in-Chief not be subject to any influence by another country.
Obviously, their statement didn't mean what you think it meant, because everything else they said is compatible with the historical understanding of natural born citizen.
