You really need to show me what line in the Constitution you have used to "learn" what the founders meant when you claim that you, and only you, know what the founders meant.
the term ‘natural born citizen’ doesn’t require years of study at the seminary to decipher. it was written in plain english.
the founders used the term ‘citizen’ as a requirement for ALL other positions defined in the Constitution. the term ‘natural born citizen’ was only used for ONE position. they did this, as they stated in the federalist papers, as to insure the person assuming the office would not have split allegiances... at least by birth. they also wanted to insure no future king of england could be president of the US
it’s really not that complicated.
a natural born citizen is a citizen naturally ... AS THERE ARE NO ALTERNATIVES.
TCruz was at least a US and canadian citizen at birth, both of which he held until recently.
