Seems the consensus now is a natural born citizen is one with birthright citizenship; so anyone born to a US citizen counts as well.

If the USA successfully annexes Canada Musk would qualify since he was born to a Canadian citizen who would now be a US citizen.

I moved my comment to below this one…

To be “natural born”, you have to be born either inside the United States or to somebody that was a US citizen at the time.

If you have 11 children and become a US citizen, your children are not automatically citizens as well. They have to apply.

Technically, the constitution doesn’t define “natural born”, and we’ve seen how little this administration cares about even the parts it does define.
