NB citizenship flows solely from parentage.

You say that but there is no such language in the Constitution and there are absolutely no SC cases defining NB for electability purposes the way you have. Born here, you are a citizen.

Is there any particular reason the framers would have used a less than standard definition of Natural Born?

The constitution used a term with a clear accepted meaning. If you can challenge that meaning, then not one word of the constitution is reliable, thus making the entire document void.

I’m confidant that that is the goal of all that disrespect the definition of Natural Born.
