This isn't true. There as been some dispute about what "natural born citizen" means. In the old understanding it was strictly someone who was born on US soil, parent citizenship doesn't matter. In the new understanding it can be foreign born US citizens who were US citizens at birth because one or both parents was a US citizen.

There's been some official clarification since 2011. This would qualify both Heels-Up and Ted Cruz to be president. This is basically a non-issue. Kamala shouldn't be allowed because she's a fucking traitor to the American people through her actions.

in 2011, the non-partisan Congressional Research Service issued a report stating:

“The weight of legal and historical authority indicates that the term ‘natural born’ citizen would mean a person who is entitled to U.S. citizenship ‘by birth’ or ‘at birth’, either by being born ‘in’ the United States and under its jurisdiction, even those born to foreign parents; or by being born abroad to U.S. citizen-parents; or by being born in other situations meeting legal requirements for U.S. citizenship ‘at birth.’”
