Then explain why the Constitution went out of it’s way to state eligiblity based upon Natural Born instead of Native or Naturalized?

Waiting....

Still waiting...

Damn, man, post the question BEFORE criticizing a delay in response!

The Founding Fathers knew that “naturalized” citizens had a different citizenship lineage than someone a citizen for life. They bring a less than complete American experience to the office of President - but there is no office which embodies that experience more completely. “Naturalized” and “President” are incompatible.

They also knew that “native” had the same essential problem, as the USA as a culture amounts to occupying and supplanting another nation & people (”native” Americans).

As for “natural born”: that was written at a time when citizenship was not a bureaucratic formality, as there was no bureaucracy, and there was little time to both establish naturalization for both parents and THEN produce offspring as citizens at birth. If born here as a citizen at birth (not naturalized later, or of an occupied culture) then you’re good to go as President and the American totality the office repesents.

But then there are those with Obama Derangement Syndrome who would reject the Obama’s citizenship under any scenario.

Fair disclosure: I think the Obama was born in Kenya.
