You could not be more wrong ‘We the people are government. Only US citizens birthing their child on US soil constitutes natural born citizenship. The soil does not alone bequeath natural born standing. Humanity since the garden party have always tried to fix what is not broken.

I disagree.. you are natural born if you are born to a citizen parent (after 1972) regardless of where you are born. Part of the reason this clause was even added was probably to protect the citizen children of diplomats and soldiers overseas.

For example, at the time this was promulgated Thomas Jefferson was ambassador in France: If his wife (or Sally Hemmings) had a child while there, they would be ‘natural born citizens.’
