And that’s exactly why his ineligibility is the shaft that hits the very heart of the Constitution.

If it does not matter that the supposed President is not even eligible, then anything goes.

“born on the soil of citizen parents.”

They never said that either. They said "natural born citizen" a term they likely got from Vattel. I was just relating what Vattel said it meant, and with the appropriate exemptions. The diplomatic exemption is recognized, even in the interpretation of the 14th amendment, but for diplomats of *other* countries having children in the US.
