It looks like they c\hanged the rules for who is “ natural born”
this is from the US gov site
Currently, Title 8 of the U.S. Code fills in the gaps left by the Constitution. Section 1401 defines the following as people who are “citizens of the United States at birth:”
•Anyone born inside the United States *
•Any Indian or Eskimo born in the United States, provided being a citizen of the U.S. does not impair the person’s status as a citizen of the tribe
•Any one born outside the United States, both of whose parents are citizens of the U.S., as long as one parent has lived in the U.S.
•Any one born outside the United States, if one parent is a citizen and lived in the U.S. for at least one year and the other parent is a U.S. national
•Any one born in a U.S. possession, if one parent is a citizen and lived in the U.S. for at least one year
•Any one found in the U.S. under the age of five, whose parentage cannot be determined, as long as proof of non-citizenship is not provided by age 21
•Any one born outside the United States, if one parent is an alien and as long as the other parent is a citizen of the U.S. who lived in the U.S. for at least five years (with military and diplomatic service included in this time)
•A final, historical condition: a person born before 5/24/1934 of an alien father and a U.S. citizen mother who has lived in the U.S.

and at the beginning it says anyone who is a citizen is a natural vborn citizen

so how convenient. they changed all the rules so that no matter wherew 0dumbo wasn born he is legal

“citizens of the United States at birth:” is NOT the same as “Natural Born Citizens”.

All NBCs are “citizens of the US at birth” but not all “citizens of the US at birth” are NBCs.

If you do sufficient research you’ll find out that, constitutionally, this is true.

“citizens of the United States at birth” is not the definition of Natural Born.
