“Twisting words again? Like I said before,NATURAL BORN CITIZEN is a UNIQUE requirement the Founders put in. Get that? UNIQUE! which means, one-of-a-kind. No other elected position in our Republic has such an eligibility requirement.”

That’s true. The president has to be a citizen from the moment of birth. A senator can be naturalized.

So with your logic, an illegal alien 9 months pregnant can slip across the border into El Paso, have a baby, head back into Mexico and (assuming that baby can later prove 14 years US residency) that baby would then be eligible for POTUS in 35 years ??? I GUARANTEE you that scenario does NOT fit in with the original intent of the Founding Fathers.

I'll bet you're still wringing your hands over the 2000 election too...

You're playing word games again. "Moment of birth"? That's cute, but we're discussing 'Natural born' citizenship as written in the Constitution. The founding fathers meant what they said. 'Natural born citizen' means what it says. The founding fathers were clearly using that term as it was defined in the 'Law of Nations' at the time.
