[Eric in the Ozarks]

If the Founders had that in mind, they should have written it down.
They didn't. Any child born in the US, no matter who their parents happen to be, is eligible.

If the Founders had that in mind, they should have written it down. They didn't. Any child born in the US, no matter who their parents happen to be, is eligible.

They did. They just never envisioned that America would be filled with so many simpletons who would be unable to comprehend what they wrote.

So tell me now, Mr. Wit, Are the Russian Ambassador's children "Natural born citizens" of the USA? If you say "no", then you need to stop demonstrating your ignorance. Being born in a stable does not make you a horse, and being born in a manor house does not make you a lord. Your status is inherent in your existence at conception.
