A child born to U.S. citizens can be born anywhere in the world, and he is a U.S. Citizen.

‘A child born to U.S. citizens can be born anywhere in the world, and he is a U.S. Citizen.’
Yes the child can be a US citizen but he is NOT a natural born citizen, one who has undivided loyalty or sole allegiance to USA. After all, the child was born under a foreign jurisdiction and subject to that jurisdiction thru parentage.

Consider this -
a child born in USA to foreign parents (say Mexican) can be a US citizen, but as far as his parents’ country (Mexico) is concerned, the child is their citizen (i.e. a Mexican) by parentage. The child is under Mexican jurisdiction as well as US jurisdiction, so he/she has dual citizenship and multiple allegiance, which means he/she is NOT a natural born citizen elig to be the pres of USA

Sole allegiance is the main issue!
