The “natural born citizen” eligibility requirement for POTUS is a national security provision of the Constitution and its has been violated.
The Constitution does not define NBC, but it distinguishes between NBC and citizen, so the two statuses cannot be the same and the Framer’s original intent remains in force.
Logically, an NBC can be nothing else - born that way - and can only be an NBC because no laws of man make him (or her) anything else. That is, an NBC is born in the country to parents who are both citizens - there’s nothing else he/she could be. Consequently, Obama, McCain, Jindal, Rubio, and (unfortunately) Cruz are all ineligible to be POTUS.
100% correct, NBC quotes Citizenship via ‘natural’ law, and not ‘positive’ law.
Correct.

NBC has never been interpreted that way; "natural born" is an antonym of "naturalized." Anyone born in the U.S., or who was otherwise a citizen at birth without naturalization, is a natural born citizen.
