In my mind it is all about what or how a person puts meaning to ‘natural born citizen’ which is an explicit statement/qualification given in the Constitution as you have quoted. For me I consider the extensive recorded debates and comments of the Founders to mean qualification requires citizen parents ‘and’ being born on the soil of the parents citizenship; in the immediate situation USA soil. I have in my lifetime taken civics and history courses that tell me this is what the Founders intended. I believe this wholeheartedly even though my brother who was killed on Okinawa and I also a vet of WWII would not be eligible for POTUSA because our parents were not naturalized citizens.

I appreciate your comments, but if you’ll look up a few posts, you’ll see where I addressed a post by the Admin Moderator.

If I were going to discuss this with you, it would be along the lines of the very argument you raise, Founders vs current public interpreters. There seems to be a wide chasm there.

Take care.
