You are just wrong. There is no legal basis for the birthers unique inerpretation of the Constitution. That’s why no court in America will give you the time of day.

Well Golly Gee, the flipping Supreme Court of the United States totally disagrees with your opinion.

Minor v Happersett (1874)

"The Constitution does not, in words, say who shall be natural-born citizens. Resort must be had elsewhere to ascertain that. At common-law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives, or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners.” Minor v. Happersett, 88 U.S. 162, 168."
