“Every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is, in the language of your Constitution itself, a natural born citizen.” (Cong. Globe, 39th, 1st Sess., 1291 (1866))

Hold the presses, I guess this disqualifies the first eight presidents of this country.

See Article 2 Section 5 of the Constitution. The first Presidents were grand-fathered in (in bold).
