The Natural Born Citizen clause is about having a single allegiance to the United States. It's all about allegiances or lack-of to other countries. No amount of obfuscation is going to change it. When the courts ever get serious about the true intent and meaning -- the conclusion is obvious.
Make sure that they know that.
It's certainly not what you want the Natural Born Citizen clause to be. Lets go back to 1787, where the founding fathers of US Constitution are deliberating over the NBC clause:
Yes, it is our intent to have persons who have allegiance or are still subjects to the King of England can become future presidents to the United States. Yes that's our intent! Oh yeah, really non-Sequitur that's your definition of a natural born citizen. What you want an NBC to be is completely laughable and idiotic.
Or not.
It's certainly not what you want the Natural Born Citizen clause to be. Lets go back to 1787, where the founding fathers of US Constitution are deliberating over the NBC clause:
Very well. How about some quotes from them on the subject?
Indeed, "It's all about allegiances..."
And what better way to guard against dual loyalties than that a perspective Presidents parent's BOTH be American citizens, at his/her birth?
Does this mean that a native born citizen or even a naturalized citizen wouldn't make a good president?
Of course not!
However, it eliminates many who could be influenced by a parent(s) who is loyal to a foreign power.
It's like "profiling" the Muslim terrorist.
All Muslims are NOT terrorist but almost all terrorist are Muslims.
The Natural Born Citizen directive in the constitution is a security issue intended to insulate the executive branch against ANYONE who would be less than 100% devoted to the interest of "the People" of the United States.
