If you apply what passes for Birther "logic" to even Jeb Bush, you could probably challenge his status as NBC though his mother is descended from President Franklin Pierce and his father and brother both served as POTUS.
Don't forget that (at least) 4 of Trump's children were born to non-citizens. That would mean (according to the Birthers), that all but one of Trump's (publicly acknowledged) children are not Natural Born Citizens.

Since the purpose of the NBC clause is to limit the Presidency to those who have an undivided loyalty to the United States, do we really want a President to has a thing for picking foreign wives and siring (according to Birthers) non-eligible children?

Roman Emperor Caracalla was born in Syria to Syrian mother. His father was born in Africa.

Caracalla gave Roman citizenship to everyone.

Years later the natural born Roman citizens lost their liberty.

i think you stick with the constitution and not with WANTS. if you want to change the requirements then a constitutional amendment is always an option.

As far as Trumps Children are concerned his latest wife became a citizen in 2006 and his son Baron was born in 2006. If the months line up then Baron is a Natural Born Citizen.

Ivana became a citizen in 1988. Donald was born 1977 so not an NBC. Eric and Ivanka were also born before 1988 so therefore they are not NBC.

Last but not least Tiffany trump was born to Marla Maples a US citizen so she is NBC
