Oh, I get that .. but what my question really relates to is that the Framers understanding of “Natural Born Citizen” would have meant something beyond ‘citizen,’ and what was understood by them at the time I would daresay was that NBC is the citizen born of citizens.
Yes, the highest standard of loyal citizenship - 2 citizen parents and born on the soil - which is actually Cruz’s description of NBC in 2012.
A Freeper, WhiskeyX (I think), explained this in detail to me. If no other country can claim you but the USA then you are a natural born citizen. A person with dual citizenship doesn’t fit that category i.e. Cruz and Obama. So that specific standard of birth plus two citizen (loyal) parents and you’re in.
Is this what you mean?
