Was he born to diplomats who are not under the jurisdiction of the United States? Or was he just a random person that somehow managed to become King? Diplomats and foreign military are not considered subject to the jurisdiction, etc. That is why diplomats’ children (note that that is the children of diverse diplomats, not the children of two diplomats) born here do not gain US citizenship, normally, unless one or both parents (this time the meaning how you like to read it) already are, and why overseas military births DO.

If you are going to try to cite exceptions as the rule, you had better know the rules first. Your nonsensical stance, in the face of legal and historical facts makes you (and your several equally deluded cohorts) look foolish.

How the Founders would have viewed the last King of Thailand is exactly as I described above - was he, or was he not, the child of an American citizen (father, just one, not multiple fatherS)?

You’re just stuck on the idea that there are extra, unwritten rules that would make your universe ‘right’ if only you could prove and enforce them. It just isn’t so. Fabricated definitions for ‘natural-born’ and twisted, cherry-picked readings of SCOTUS cases won’t solve your problem. If you want to ‘fix’ the rules you see broken, get a Constitutional amendment. It’s been done nearly 30 times already, so you have a much better chance of getting that done than of convincing the world (or at least America) that we’ve been doing it wrong.

I didn’t like Obama, and I have my doubts about where he was born. Unfortunately, if he was conning us, he’s pretty much gotten away with it. I don’t see his ‘works’ being easily undone by a magic wave of the ‘you were never a legitimate President’ wand. Not gonna happen. We have to do it the old-fashioned way - elect people to roll it back, bit by bit.

Meanwhile, assuming you aren’t some sort of disrupter just trying to Pied Piper us, your efforts would be better spent helping to undo the damage and prevent it from recurring. Snarky little comments that don’t even bear on the question just show you to be a troll.
