Citizenship at the time the Constitution was adopted was Patriarchal, there was no such thing as being born to one parent who was a citizen and one who wasn’t because all children born to a citizen father were automatically born to a citizen mother (except perhaps for bastards because there was no marriage), the Constitution can’t be said to exclude someone for something that wasn’t even conceived of at the time it was written.
I think we need to add citizenship laws and definitions to the Constitution.
I’d be happy to exclude children with one non-citizen parent from offices like the President, I’m generally in favor of far more restrictions on citizenship and immigration.
I want to exclude all naturalized citizens from voting, holding any office, or having any government job.
I also want to exclude children of immigrants from those things unless one of their parents was born here.
But we need to change the Constitution to do those things and I don’t believe binding ourselves to a restrictive version of NBC that was not conceived of or part of the original intent of the Constitution while the enemy foists total non-citizens on us is conducive to victory.

Are you familiar with Robert Heinlein’s concept of citizenship in the book “Starship Troopers?”
(from Wiki) “...The rights of a full citizen, to vote and hold public office, are not universally guaranteed, but must be earned through Federal Service. Those who do not perform this service, which usually takes the form of military service, retain the rights of free speech and assembly, but cannot vote or hold public office. People of either sex above the age of 18 are permitted to enlist. Those who leave before completing their service do not receive the vote. Important government jobs are reserved for federal service veterans...”
