Founder 2: Well that's awfully specific. We'd better be clear about that in the text.
Founder 1: No, we'll just write "natural born citizen." They'd be morons to not realize that implies an absolute requirement of parental citizenship at the time of one's birth.

Founder 2: But doesn't that sound a lot like "natural born subject"? Mightn't they think we mean the same thing but just substituted the word "citizen"?
Founder 1: Nah.

[Squeeky]

Founder 2: You know, we need to use the French law on this citizenship stuff. Should we put that in, too? That it's French???
Founder 1: Not necessary. Everybody knows we were originally French colonies, sooo who else's law would we follow?
Founder 2: Oui!
Founder 1: And if they don't, we will taunt them!

Founder 1: Nah

Founder 3: After all, it's not as if we declared independence because we wanted the freedoms guaranteed to Englishman by the common law. It's not as if we modeled most of our colonial laws on the common law.
