I can't believe anyone other than Herbie believes this any more. A natural born citizen is one who is born on U.S. soil or a representative territory overseas (such as a military base, naval ship or embassy grounds). Being born in Hawaii makes him a Natural Born Citizen regardless of his - or any other baby born on U.S. soil - parents citizenship status.
Your definition is incorrect on many fronts.

The Boston Globe to the growing list of influential media sources who have expressed the opinion that simply being born in the United States does not qualify one to be President. Recently, this blog pointed to a similar
opinion in the New York Tribune. These pre-dated Breckenridge Long’s similar
opinion as stated in the Chicago Legal News.
Recently,
one of my readers uncovered this crucially relevant article published in the Boston Globe on November 9, 1896 by Percy A. Bridgham, aka “
The People’s Lawyer“. (Mr. Bridgham’s
book,
One Thousand Legal Questions Answered by the “People’s Lawyer” of the Boston Daily Globe, can be found in the Harvard Law School library.)
The People’s Lawyer, upon answering a reader’s question regarding the Constitution’s natural born citizen clause, stated:
“The fact that the Constitution says “natural” instead of native shows to my mind that the distinction was thought of and probably discussed. A natural born citizen would be one who by nature, that is by inheritance, so to speak, was a citizen, as distinguished from one who was by nativity or locality of birth a citizen. A child born to Irish parents in Ireland cannot become a citizen except by naturalization, while his brother born in the United States is a native born citizen; the former is neither naturally nor by nativity a citizen, the latter is not naturally, but natively a citizen.”
It’s important to note that, while this article was written two years before the controversial decision in
Wong Kim Ark, Bridgham adopts a similar conclusion as Justice Gray did in that case by stating that children born of (HERBIE [LEGAL]) aliens on US soil
are citizens. But Bridgham also states that while these children are “native born” citizens, they are not “natural born” citizens and therefore cannot be President.

Natural Born Citizen
The Boston Globe: “native born” does not equal “natural born” for Presidential eligibility.
Not only is your favorite gal Malkin a real "native-born" Citizen, but you have never, ever, provided any proof to your statement that she is what could be considered an "anchor baby", or anyone else for that matter.
What she is not, is a "natural born Citizen", and that is a fact.
Even if she does have more "proof" than Baraq Soetoro.
