For the 1,000th time, a natural born citizen means a citizen from birth.

Tell me, if a woman US soldier serving in Iraq gives birth in Iraq, is her child an American or Iraqi???

All Americans should be able to answer that question ( except for Trump and Tribe I guess )

No, it doesn't. Here's how we know...

Alexander Hamilton's suggestion of "born a citizen" for Constitutional Presidential eligibility was rejected by the Constitutional Convention, and John Jay's 'natural born citizen" was adopted instead.

"Born a citizen" does not equal "natural born citizen.

Alexander Hamilton's suggestion (Article IX Section 1):
Alexander Hamilton's draft

John Jay's suggestion, intending the requirement to exclude foreigners (those born dual citizens are born foreigners):
John Jay's July 25, 1787 letter to George Washington

Nope. Sorry. An Anchor Baby is a citizen at birth. You now that. Well,at least, you should. No way is any ole citizen also a natural born citizen. No way, no how.

Not sure about Iraqi laws, but the baby would be a US citizen. But no way a natural born citizen.
