The point that is missed is that in the eyes of the Supreme Court, "native-born" or "native" means to be born to citizen parents. Here's Minor's definition ONCE more:
At common-law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives, or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners.
As such, "native-born" means born to a native citizen, not born to a native land.
[I had cited:]Even if you misunderstood Gordon, Pryor specifically explains 'native-born' citizens, as, "those born in the United States". It's such a short quote, how could you possibly miss that?"It is clear enough that native-born citizens are eligible and that naturalized citizens are not." [Charles Gordon, Who Can Be President of the United States: The Unresolved Enigma, 28 Md. L. Rev. 1, 19 (1968).]The point that is missed is that in the eyes of the Supreme Court, "native-born" or "native" means to be born to citizen parents."It is well settled that 'native-born' citizens, those born in the United States, qualify as natural born." [Jill Pryor, 'The Natural-Born Citizen Clause and Presidential Eligibility', 97 Yale Law Journal 881-889 (1988).]
