The Constitution made everyone living in the country at the time of its adoption a US citizen, so even Alexander Hamilton (born in the West Indies) was eligible to become president (Hamilton recognized, though, that he’d never be elected and may not have wanted to be). But considering that all of the Founders were born British citizens and in the overwhelming number of cases their parents were as well, it does call into question whether they would really have believed that there was a difference between a “citizen from birth” and a “natural born citizen.”
There was no such animal as a British Citizen, they were subjects of the Crown, as were the French.
Ask Americans to choose between country and money, 2/3rds will choose the money. Ask the illegals to choose between self determination and money/benefits 90% choose freebies. Ask legal immigrants to choose, close to 100% choose Liberty, and country.
"Subjects", not citizens. Citizens are from a Republic. "Subjects" are from a Monarchy.
They used the term “natural born citizen" so you don't have to call anything into question.
