Oh and thank you for making my point for me.

There IS a distinction between the two. Naturalized Citizens and Natural born citizens are both citizens, but Naturalized citizens cannot be POTUS. Therefore NC = Citizen; NBC = Citizen; NC =/= NBC; NC, NBC = Citizen.
Clearly there is a differentiation between types of citizenship, no one disagrees on that.

So therefore, a naturalized citizen cannot be POTUS - why? Because they held the citizenship of another nation. Now take a child who has in particular a father who is a foreigner... That child is going to inherit that parents citizenship as well. Therefore, a child with one parent who is an alien is born with more than one citizenship.

An NBC can be POTUS obviously, but just what IS that?. NBC is a person who never held the citizenship of any other Nation other than that of the USA. Ever. There is ZERO question about that persons citizenship, and THAT was the intent of the founders.

That’s it. The logic is very very clear.

The problem with that argument is it gives a country other than the US the power to determine who may be a natural born citizen of the US. Theoretically, using that logic, another country, say Mali, could grant automatic citizenship to all US citizens. Who then would be eligible to hold the office of president?
