Which one on your list do you believe is ineligible?

Obama is questionable as there is no evidence to support his claim that he was born in HI, not Kenya. His mother was not old enough to confer citizenship at birth if he was born in Kenya. If he was born in HI, he would be an NBC.

Ted Cruz is an NBC
Marco Rubio is an NBC
Nikki Haley is an NBC
George P. Bush is an NBC

None of the individuals in your list are eligible.

The citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens. As the society cannot exist and perpetuate itself otherwise than by the children of the citizens, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all their rights. The society is supposed to desire this, in consequence of what it owes to its own preservation; and it is presumed, as matter of course, that each citizen, on entering into society, reserves to his children the right of becoming members of it. The country of the fathers is therefore that of the children; and these become true citizens merely by their tacit consent. We shall soon see whether, on their coming to the years of discretion, they may renounce their right, and what they owe to the society in which they were born. I say, that, in order to be of the country, it is necessary that a person be born of a father who is a citizen; for, if he is born there of a foreigner, it will be only the place of his birth, and not his country.

"The citizenship of no man could be previous to the declaration of independence, and, as a natural right, belongs to none but those who have been born of citizens since the 4th of July, 1776."....David Ramsay, 1789.

All born with other citizenships, not naturally an American.
One is only naturally an American when one cannot be anything else.
They are born with only ONE nationality.
That is the quality the founders were seeking.
Someone who was only an American.

Obama’s father was Kenyan, therefore, a british citizen. Are we to believe the founders wanted the son of a brit to be president right after the war and again after the war of 1812?
