So in your mind, the fact that NBC is only used in the constitution in reference to POTUS and vice is inconsequential? It doesn’t mean anything that all the other citations just say “citizen”? The two terms, in your mind, are used interchangeably, and it’s just a coincidence that NBC is only used for POTUS, and citizen only for non-POTUS?

Oh, and my passport doesn’t say “NBC” because it’s Indonesian. I’m planning on running for U.S. president. :)

Although - here’s something I just thought of - I have a REAL BC (not a short form missing all the good info), and mine says I was born in Brooklyn, and it also says my parents were born in Brooklyn. Now, why did they care, on MY birthday, where my PARENTS were born.....? Hmmmm.....

See 14th Amendment.

While the BC may state where your parents were born, does it also state what their citizenship was at the time of your birth?

If not, why not? Hmmmm....

Please get back to me when your birth certificate or U.S. Passport states that you are a Natural Born Citizen.

Likewise. My REAL BC (the long form, with all the juicy details) says I was born in one of the 50 states, and my parents were born in two other of the 50 states.

It's not inconsequential. Using the term "natural born citizens" disqualifies naturalized citizens from being President.
