This is how Twitter/X Community Notes Flagged Loomer’s Tweet:

This is false. The Constitution lists only three qualifications for the Presidency: Be at least 35 years old, be a natural born citizen, and must have lived in the United States for at least 14 years. Haley meets all of those. ‘Anchor babies’ are not illegal.

“‘Anchor babies’ are not illegal.”
Note to Twitter/X community: The Constitution stipulates natural born; naturalized citizens are merely legal.
unexceptionable, the viewpoint that:
“natural-born citizens are those born in the country of parents who are citizens” (Scott v. Sandford, 1856)
In Minor v. Happersett (1875), the Supreme Court defined two classes of persons. The first class consists of children born in the United States, of U.S.-citizen parents. The second class consists of all other U.S.-born children, regardless of their parents’ citizenship. The Court used the term “natural born citizen” only in reference to members of the first class. Regarding members of the second class, the Court doubted they were even citizens, let alone natural born citizens. In the Court’s opinion, natural born citizens are “distinguished from” aliens or foreigners, suggesting that a natural born citizen is someone who is not a “foreigner” (foreign citizen) at birth [05].
“Natural born citizen” is very confusing. Natural meaning what? Not born from a cesarean? No test tube babies? Born in nature? Not adopted?
it’s nice to see actual facts here, thanks
