“Do you agree that Obama born in the USA?”
“Yes, Hawaii became a state in 1959, so it was part of the US when Obama was born in 1961.”

Agreed, Obama was born in Hawaii.

on your questions:
#1, of course I agree. NBC is constitutional reqt.
#2, that definition of NBC is not commonly accepted. Common view is natural-born equates to citizenship at time of birth. Neither Chester Arthur nor Spiro Agnew, nor even Mike Dukakis satisfied NBC under your narrower 2 citizen parents definition and nobody raised an issue. unless you have court rulings to back up that narrower definition, it’s speculative.

So, then, an anchor baby could be POTUS?
