the Constitution states the person must be natural born, which is a subset of native born. the statement is not incorrect, it’s just not fully accurate.

This is an example of why it's difficult to take you guys seriously after a while. You're asking me to believe that when St. George Tucker, a man who fought at Yorktown, studied law under a signer of the Declaration, served as a judge in Virginia, and taught law at William and Mary--that when this man referred to the Constitutional requirement "that the president shall be a native-born citizen," he used a phrase that's not in the Constitution and, in fact, is an insufficient requirement (in your view) for the presidency--why? Just to confuse the issue? Because he forgot what the Constitution actually said?

On the other hand, maybe Tucker knew that "native born" and "natural born" were the same thing. Hmm, which seems more likely...?
