I beg to differ with you on this. You would be a US citizen, but you could not be a natural born citizen. George Washington was born on US soil, but he did not have natural born status. This is why they grandfathered themselves into the constitution - they were not natural born. You could not be natural born!

The reason they grandfathered themselves in was because there was no United States of America until the Constitution was adopted. When Washington was born, it is was in a British colony and they were considered subjects of the Crown, i.e., they were English citizens. Remember the Boston Tea Party? No taxation without representation.

Oops, my bad! Didn't take that one into consideration! That muddies it up a bit more.
