The Founders liked the Anglo Saxon period in England between the Romans and the Normans. There is a word from this era..Gecynde. Gecynde means Kind and Natural.

If you want to understand the meaning of natural, native and Kind and how it relates to natural born citizen this is a start.

Okay, thanks for the info.
At this point it only makes me more assured that the two do not mean the same thing because, on a citizenship level, Obama is not my "Kind". I have two citizen parents who were born in the US. Neither of them were foreigners. Their parents were born in the US to citizens. It isn't until I go back three generations, and only then on my Mother's side of the family, that immigration comes into play.

So as I understand it I'm a natural born citizen. Obama is a native born citizen (due to the nature of his Mother's citizenship) with dual citizenship because of his purported Father's citizenship.

Am I getting this right so far in your book?
(the lyrics "I'm your native son..." keep going through my mind)
