The Birther Conspiracies Have Begun

Correct. It’s all about the grift.

Grift is not the right word.

Click bait is more appropriate.

Every single media outlet is engaged in it

A natural born citizen refers to someone who was a U.S. citizen at birth, and did not need to go through a naturalization proceeding later in life. Under the 14th Amendment's Naturalization Clause and the Supreme Court case of United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 US. 649, anyone born on U.S. soil and subject to its jurisdiction is a natural born citizen, regardless of parental citizenship.

Article II, Section 1, Clause 5:

No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.

The Qualifications Clause set forth in Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 requires the President to be a natural-born citizen, at least thirty-five years of age, and a resident of the United States for at least fourteen years.1

Yeah, that Natural-born citizen thing is just a suggestion, huh?
That's all that matters. Read
Now if 1 of her parents was a naturalized citizen and she was born in America, then she's eligible.

I think that Twitter post is misleading.

She was born in the US.. that's all that matters.

To foreign non-citizen parents.

Doesn't matter. Read the statute.
