So, according to you, any citizen is a natural born citizen? If this is the case, then why did the founding fathers bother to even put natural born citizen and not just put citizen in the constitution?No, a naturalized citizen is not a natural born citizen. But, as the U.S. Supreme Court has held, the Constitution "contemplates two sources of citizenship, and two only: birth and naturalization." So if Obama was not naturalized, he is a natural born citizen.

The Founders clearly made a difference between Citizens and Natural Born. It is in the Congressional Records. The meaning of the term natural born has been located and it means born to citizen parents.

The constitution also contemplates foreign citizens, like Obama. He was born a British citizen in Kenya.
Until a hospital steps forth, we have to take the Kenyan government, his family, and his wifes word that he was born in Kenya.
