according to St. George Tucker, you are wrong:

That provision in the constitution which requires that the president shall be a native-born citizen (unless he were a citizen of the United States when the constitution was adopted,) is a happy means of security against foreign influence,

He has quite clearly indicated that the terms Natural born and Native born are interchangeable as far as article II, section I, clause 5 is concerned.

Native is more akin to birthright.

I am not saying that the principle is invalid. I am saying that I have never believed it was what they intended. I believe the intent was to delineate Natural born as a status that travels from father to son, and not from the land.

But it does not matter as I have pulled the ejection seat lever.
