“We are supposed to believe that by Natural Born Citizen, the framers of the U.S. Constitution meant: every human being other than those born overseas to alien parents.”
Which is ludicrous right? Yet we have many, right here of FR, that are making exactly that case.
I have yet to have any of them, make a case as to why natural born citizen was invoked, if citizen at birth was the same.
The phrase “born citizen” was proposed by Alexander Hamilton to replace “citizen”. That proposed change was considered in committee. A vote was held. The change was rejected. Only later was the NBC phrase considered and, obviously, approved.
