“Any analysis must start with the framers’ intent, which clearly, according to the literature they created at the time, was to ensure that usurpers could not become President and, therefore, Commander in Chief.”

You mean like demanding presidents be born on U.S. soil?

First, where is it “demanded” that presidents be born on U.S. soil?

Secondly, even if you are correct that it is “demanded” that presidents be born on U.S. soil, what is your evidence that the citizenship of the parents was *immaterial* and *completely irrelevant* to the framers and their understanding and intent viz “natural born citizen” status?
