Any chance we can start this conversation with a positive decision from the Supreme Court for a change, or is everyone just going to roll around in the dirt yell at each other than continue to live with the SC decision already in place?
What SC court decision are you referring to?
Art II, Sec I?
The founders knew exactly what it meant.
Naturally a citizen because they couldn’t possibly be anything else.
It was clearly understood until recent times.

Chief Justice Waite
“The Constitution does not, in words, say who shall be natural-born citizens. Resort must be had elsewhere to ascertain that. 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. Some authorities go further and include as citizens children born within the jurisdiction without reference to the citizenship of their parents. As to this class there have been doubts, but never as to the first. For the purposes of this case it is not necessary to solve these doubts. It is sufficient for everything we have now to consider that all children born of citizen parents within the jurisdiction are themselves citizens.”
