even though since August 21, 1959, any person’s born in Hawaii would be recognized as being a naturally born citizen as per article II and the 14th amendment of the Constitution. Major research isn’t needed to prove this point. Just a little reading. Yet, the controversy continues.

Being well versed in both Article II of the Constitution and the 14th Amendment, this statement sticks in my gullet. Having done much more than "just a little reading" I am drawn to the completely opposite conclusion. I miss the days of "investigative reporting". I'm tired of people trying to tell me what to believe without supplying a context and rationale. I think a lot of people are ... so the questions continue and grow even while the other team tries to suppress and belittle them.

I agree. The 14th Amendment has absolutely nothing whatever to do with a natural born citizen - as a matter of fact, anything but.
