Justice Scalia: But has not been called natural born citizenship? I mean, isn’t it clear that the natural born requirement in the Constitution was intended explicitly to exclude some Englishmen who had come here and spent some time here and then went back and raised their families in England? They did not want that. They wanted natural born Americans.

What part of Scalia stating that children born to Englishmen in the US are NOT natural born citizens do you NOT understand?

You confuse Englishmen with the CHILDREN of Englishmen.
Clearly, “Englishmen who had come here” were NOT born here, they were he ones excluded, and they could never become president even if naturalized US citizens ...

Which part of ‘jus solis’ do YOU not understand?
