you guys do realize if you take this interpretation that our first 5 presidents wernt eligible to be president because when they were born they were also british citizens. Hell washington fought along side the british at one point. Sorry newbie, but if you'll read Article II closely, you'll see that it makes provision for those who were born under British rule before we were independent.
