"But there are only two types of citizens under the law: Natural born Americans (from birth), and naturalized Americans, who undergo the legal process of becoming a US citizen."

There are 5 different Citizenship terms used in the United States Constitution. See the first link below.

Note the reference to Natural Law in the first sentence of our Declaration of Independence.

The Supreme Court of the United States has never applied the term “natural born citizen” to any other category than “those born in the country of parents who are citizens thereof”.

What does “PARENTS” mean? One parent or BOTH?

If the latter, then Obama should not have been eligible, but that’s all water under the bridge now.
