“Because, if Stanley Ann Dunham was his mother as recited in Dreams, she would confer citizenship on him at birth only if she had resided in the United States for 5 years after her 14th Birthday which by definition was not possible since she was not 19 when he was born. Thus he would have flunked the Natural Born Citizen requirement whatever else it might mean because he was not a citizen at all when he was born. “
That is the 5 year after age 14 rule — well known to nobody. Where, sir, did you find that baloney? Did you know that a mexican born here is a US citizen? Doesn’t matter if he goes back to mexico. He is unfortunately a citizen of the USA and he cannot lose that by world travels. Where do you get this “5 year rule”? enlighten us.
He’s right.
Go back and read the hundreds of threads/thousands of posts on the topic.
Besides, just merely being “a citizen” is not enough to make one eligible to serve as president. Ted Cruz probably isn’t either.

Not so if his parents are not here under a visa. that requirement is a part of the 14th amendment. Must be here under the authority of the US Government for the kid to have citizenship.

You have a whole lot of catching up to do.
Well first thing is you need a little help from a real lawyer who knows how to do real legal research and he needs to do it either in a real Law Library or have access to one of the more complete research engines.
You need to get back to the provisions of the United States Code in 1961 where you find that provision. You then need to see the modifications which tell you that the modifications apply only to people who are born after the effective date specified for the modifications.
To do all that you also need the footnotes in the Annotated code or you need to get to the actual enrolled legislation where you find the effective date clauses.
Not really easy to do but real lawyers can show you how to do this stuff.
My answer to your proposition about the "mexican" is above.
