Jefferson and his contemporaries were not natural-born citizens as understood by themselves, the Framers.

Which is what I said, and which you found so amusing.

No. Actually, you did not. You continue to confuse the adjectives natural born and native-born, which would be amusing if it weren't annoying. I have previously posted and analyzed the Oxford English Dictionary entries for these phrases. And you basically said that the OED is irrelevant and you know better that these phrases both mean the same thing which is nothing.

And you're confusing your opinion with reality. Reality is that the Constitution identifies two classes of citizen, not three. For that matter, U.S. law identifies two classes, various court decisions identify two classes, and your rather amusing theory doesn't change that. If you are not a natural born citizen then you're naturalized, simple as that.
