So, anyone who has a parent born outside the U.S., is not eligible to be president?

Oh. Except for Donald Trump. His mother was born in Scotland, but let’s give him a pass.

Trump’s mother was a naturalized Citizen before he was born. Therefore he was a natural born Citizen from two US Citizen parents.

Wrong. Thats not what you always get.

I’ve always seen that its not about where a parent was born but whether or not both parents are US Citizens at time child was born.

Child who may be future President shouldn’t have any allegiance to country or people other than the USA.

Obama himself gave various info about his birth and parents and clearly didnt have sole allegiance to the USA. Just because he was pushed upon the country and held office for 2 terms doesnt mean you throw out what the founders thought was important. Obama shows us its ALL the more important to keep solid guidelines going forward.

Oversimplification and inaccurate. Parents need to be citizens by birth or naturalization at the time of the child’s birth for the child to be a natural born citizen.

No it isn't.

I've explained this many times, it seems you have just missed my explanations.

In 1787, only the father could pass on citizenship. The mother was automatically granted citizenship if the father was American.

Women couldn't pass on citizenship, (except in out of wedlock births) until the 20th century. It started with the Cable act of 1922.
