“So a child born to a military family outside the US but in a US military hospital is not a natural born citizen”

Yes and No.

No if only one parent was born in America.
The child is a citizen but not a natural born citizen.

Yes if both parents were born in America.
The child is a natural born citizen regardless of the location of birth.

The office of president is the only elected office that requires a natural born citizen. Members of Congress do not need to be natural born citizens.

The founders’ had good reason to require a natural born president. Today, that reason may not be as severe as when the founders envisioned its need. An amendment may be in order but only after considerable discussion, the founders were very wise in all they wrote.
