Not quite: there's a few edge cases that might or might not be natural-born citizens (and, for that matter, having two American citizens as parents might not count).
Under the current law having at least one parent counts. And tbh I really don’t care if it’s in the constitution or not. Immigration law pretty much states the IM isn’t a automatic citizen and therefore can’t be president.
Which was the original fucking point until Vass got pissy about the damn constitution
There’s two items of note:
1) Subsequent laws can not define what the terms in the constitution mean. Otherwise the constitution would be largely meaningless.
2) There is not equality in the current “one parent counts” rule. There are additional rules and requirements if the one parent is the father.
