Best Answer

Where the parents of a presidential candidate were born is irrelevant. The only thing that matters is where the presidential candidate himself or herself was born.

According Article II of the US Constitution:

The President must be a natural born citizen of the United States or a citizen at the time of the adoption of the Constitution, at least 35 years old and a resident of the United States for at least 14 years.
