There has been a proposed counter-example posted on other threads (I believe it is a hypothetical, but it makes a point):

Prince Mohammad Abdullah, born in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. His mother is a US citizen, but his father is Saudi Royalty.

The Prince could be an American president -- born in a foreign land, his mother is a US citizen, and therefore he's a natural born citizen.

Now, I have an issue with that.
Cruz has precisely the same situation, and I have an issue with that too.

For me, NBC means born on US soil, to 2 parents who are US citizens (naturalized or otherwise). Whether the courts agree with me is a legitimate issue. Perhaps the courts want a Saudi Prince to rule over us.

I have an issue with the prince as well. But the law says he’s a citizen. As a dual citizen he could not run for president.
