Natural born citizenship had a particular meaning at the time the phrase was used in the Constitution. It had a meaning that was not dependent on any future legislation that might be written. In general terms, it was understood to refer to someone whose citizenship was self-evidently American. If there were competing claims of citizenship that could reasonably be made, such as would arise if one or both parents were foreign citizens at the time of birth, then one was not considered to be a natural born citizen.

I can’t argue about any of that. Main point remains, born in United States to residents of USA makes one NBC.
Parents citizenship is never mentioned in the Constitution.
Biden, Pelosi, Schumer, etc all had American parents. Vivek Ramaswamy’s parents were not yet citizens.

I prefer a person like Vivek 1000 times more than Biden, Pelosi or Schumer.
