Well, the founders knew what they meant and they said what they wrote.

I’m just putting some historical and literal context around it.

People are free to ignore it.

You’ve missed the real history around the term natural born citizen. And Vattel was writing about international law, and admits it doesn’t apply to how England handled things.

I suggest reading this 1844 decision on what was meant by NBC:
