“But ANYONE who runs for president MUST BE native born.
IN ADDITION, he must be NATURAL Born.
So you cannot say no native born citizen can run, in fact it is a requirement. But it, by itself, is not sufficient”

There’s a lot of confusion here. It hasn’t been established, so far as I know, that citizens born of parent citizens outside U.S. territory aren’t natural born citizens. So the part about presidents needing to be native born is suspect. Also, by saying that a president must be natural born in addition to being native born, you assume native born citizens aren’t automatically natural born citizens, which I think is false.

Via the 14th amendment, if a pregnant 16 year old girl crosses over from Mexico and gives birth, that child is a native born citizen.

But could never be considered a “natural born” citizen.
