You said: The one and only definition there’s ever been: people born citizens.
I didn't ask for a definition; I asked for intent. That is, what did they want to accomplish?
However, since you brought it up... That definition of NBC, which you suggest is more than common, I have never never heard of nor seen in print. Could you cite your source(s)? (You've seen plenty of citations here from those with whom you disagree. So, in case you don't know what that means, maybe you can take it from context.)
Meanwhile, please try again. What do you think the Framers intended by using the NBC phrasing?
Please note that the Constitution provides for increasingly restrictive eligibility requirements for the offices of House Rep., Senator and finally POTUS - the only office that stipulates the NBC requirement. Please feel free to consult the Constitution, even if it is for the very first time in your life.
Do you have proper Tea Party attire?:
