For about half a year no one answered this question. [Probably because I tended to ask legitimacy defenders] ...

So theoretically, our Founding Fathers were not concerned that a British noble might groom a son who is born in the US to be President, right? So a duke might serve his Majesty by raising a son in the US [such as his second son], and then prepare him to lead our nation. And our Founding Fathers had no fear whatsoever of that happening?

[BTW — the Romans suffered under Etruscan kings which is what led to their ancient revolution — our Founding Fathers were well aware of that. Then there’s the matter of the Prince of Wales. I don’t think our Founding Fathers were such fools that they never pondered that trick.]

IF simply being born in the U.S. is enough to be considered a "natural born Citizen", then the current Dauphin of France (as considered by the Legitimists) Prince Louis Duke of Burgundy would be considered POTUS eligible.

Prince Louis was born in New York City, 2010. Yet, his father is a French and Spanish citizen (but not a U.S. citizen) and his mother is Venezuelan.

If the French decided to have another restoration of the House of Bourbon, the King of France would be considered POTUS eligible.
Imagine if Louis Alphonse were to be elected POTUS 1st (not possible? look what happened in 2008)...and then the French decided to restore the crown...wow!

Imagine that. The King of France and the President of the U.S. as one in the same.

I believe the founders and framers would be repulsed by the notion that such a foreign prince is eligible to be this nations Commander in Chief.
