The phrase, “natural born citizen,” as it was used in the Constitution was all about “natural born” allegiance and not about “natural born” place of birth.

I respectfully disagree. The Constitution means EXACTLY what it says i.e. a naturally BORN citizen.

The Constitution means EXACTLY what it says

natural born = innate, having from birth

citizen = allegiance to a state in which the sovereign power is retained by the people

(Webster’s New Collegiate Dictonary, 1949)
