Wow! Which originalist was born on US soil? Oh, wait, US soil didn’t exist at the time. Can you name the first President that was born on US soil?

Those that wrote the Constitution were grandfathered in... There was NO question regarding their loyalty.. It was a protective measure to the 'natural born' citizenry in future generations. It was/is a birthright. You know kinda like Esau who sold his birthright for a bowl of red pottage (lentils)...

I was born in Germany, of two US citizen parents... born a US citizen YES, but NOT natural born.

By your own claims, regarding “natural born” intent of the framers, a child born on US soil to illegal aliens is eligible to hold the office of the president, but a child born in another country to a member of our military is not eligible to hold the office.

That is a very silly position. Hence, the snark and sarcasm.
