The founders were adamant and even underlined certain words that for the purpose of serving as President of the U.S. one must be born here in the US of parents who also were born here.

The parents need only be citizens. They generally were born here, but they could just as well be naturalized, as long as it was before their child was born.

To be clear, the intent of the our founders was not for what we have today. Someone whose father was born in kenya and is a citizen of the British crown.
