“Natural Born Citizen means Citizen at the moment of Birth, and NOTHING ELSE.”

The founders were pretty smart and thoroughly analyzed every word and concept in the draft Constitution, so if you are correct they would have merely required one to be a citizen, not a natural born citizen. Moreover, they were legitimately concerned about potentially divided loyalties of the commander in chief. You are wrong!

Wrong.
The Founders wanted to deny NATURALIZED Citizens the ability to become President.
That is the purpose of “Natural Born” -— to distinguish between NATURALIZED.
