I think it's amusing that this is the sort of thing that keeps birthers up at night.
Anyone hatching a plan to destroy the United States with their progeny 50 years down the line could just as easily become a citizen first, therefore making the child a natural born citizen under even the strictest definition.
And that "strictest definition" would be THIS ONE provided by the Supreme Court in Minor v Happersett:
MINOR v. HAPPERSETT, 88 U.S. 162 (1874)
The Constitution does not in words say who shall be natural-born citizens. Resort must be had elsewhere to ascertain that. At common law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners. Some authorities go further and include as citizens children born within the jurisdiction without reference to the citizenship of their parents. As to this class there have been doubts, but never as to the first.
Do you not agree?

I would use a different word than amusing since the elected citizens who swear on the Constitution do not uphold it . Seems to me these “ Birthers “ could find plenty to do with the elected “ Citizen “ law breakers who stand there and lie to them and on the Bible also but seem to ignore the obvious .
