“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. “

Produce the name of one legal scholar that believes that. Just one?
Chief Justice John Jay, Chief Justice John Marshall, Chief Justice Morrison Waite, and the father of the 14th Amendment, John Bingham, to name a few.
I honestly doubt you'll find any Chief Justice of the Supreme Court in the eighteenth, nineteenth or early twentieth centuries, who would agree with your loose interpretation of a very specific, legal term of art in the Constitution, since every pertinent Supreme Court decision from that era, was within the understanding found in Vattel's The Law Of Nations.
Matter of fact, when pressed, to this day there appear to be no Justices, nor any Congressmen, willing to go on record, and point blank agree with your interpretation, Technical Writer. Witness the truly bizarre Sense of the Senate Resolution, SR 511, which states that John McCain was born of citizen parents, and on U.S. soil.
You'd have us believe that this was all just some odd coincidence, I suppose?
