Question, do you think the Founder intended an anchor baby to be eligible for the POTUS/VPOTUS?

I haven't read anything from them either way.

It is my opinion that since the founding fathers distinguished between ‘citizen at birth’ and ‘natural born citizen’...

And where did the Founding Fathers do that?

“as Leo Donofrio has observed, when John Jay caused Alexander Hamilton to change the June 18 draft of the constitution regarding Article II, from “Citizen of the U.S.” into “Natural Born Citizen.” Jay explained in archived letters exactly what and why he wanted the commander in chief to be more than a citizen, and what legal dictionary, Law of Nations, he was using as a source.”

Oops, the prior post, should have been arranged like this:
