Doesn't matter, she was born in California, the way US law works she instantly became a US citizen when she was given a birth certificate in California.
Upon principle, therefore, I can entertain no doubt, but that by the law of the United States, every person born within the dominions and allegiance of the United States, whatever the situation of his parents, is a natural born citizen.

Doesn't matter, she was born in California, the way US law works she instantly became a US citizen when she was given a birth certificate in California.

But SHE IS NOT A "NATURAL BORN CITIZEN"
This is a key difference.
