Sorry, no, go look up the term “natural born citizen” and its meaning, particularly at the time of this nations founding.

Natural Born is not simply Native Born.. and implying that the founders of this nation used the term Natural Born to mean Native Born is unbelievable ignorant.

These folks knew exactly what they were saying, they didn’t use a term with a very well understood and common meaning to stand for something else.

Exactly, words were explicitly defined and the founders were highly educated to know this. Today’s detractors do everything in their power to broadly define the meanings. Look at a PWS from the last one-hundred years and you can see the broad definition of power the founders were trying to avoid.
