So the framers invented “Natural Born Citizen” for the Presidential qualification, even though in your estimation it has the same meaning as “Citizen”?

I don’t think you really believe that do you?

“Natural Born Citizen” does not have the same meaning as “citizen”, given that citizen can include naturalized citizens. It is the proposed distinction between “natural born citizen” and a “born here” citizen that I think is meaningless.

Whether you personally think what the Indiana court did is right or not, they didn't just make it up. There's a pretty straight forward path to arrive at the conclusion they did. I strongly suspect no other court will arrive at a different conclusion.
