To clarify one point in my previous post. I believe the founding fathers recognized Jus Soli citizenship. The adoption of the 14th Amendment only clarified and made it completely clear, if there had ever been any doubt, that the Jus Soli doctrine of citizenship was recognized in the US. There has been no legal controversy for the past century as to the application of Jus Soli principles and doctrine to the definition of natural born citizen.

It's as if you simply haven't read any of the contrary evidence. That this interpretation also goes completely against the stated intention of John Jay, (arguably the father of the Article II requirement) does not seem to make the slightest impression on any of you. I am reminded of the time when Liberals were proclaiming the second amendment to be a right of states to keep militias, rather than an individual right to own weapons. The absurdity of the idea likewise never seem to penetrate their consciousness either.
