only a supreme court justice in minor v hapersett

but shhhh... let’s not talk about that

how about the founders? why did they PURPOSELY put the wording ‘natural born’ instead of ‘citizen’ unless to convey their stated intention... to avoid, at least by birth, any foreign allegiances?

i’d guess you were born in the US of 2 citizen parents and are ignorant of the difference

myself, i was born in the US.. of a American father but a British mother who later became a citizen. I am a US citizen, but i can also claim British citizenship... which is why, like rubio and 0bama, i am not a natural born citizen

let me boil it down for you:

a natural born citizen is someone who is a citizen naturally... AS THERE ARE NO ALTERNATIVES

You have answered your own question.

The Founders only intended that no NATURALIZED Citizen could become President.

Arnold Schwarzenegger for instance, can not be POTUS, as he is a Naturalized Citizen.

As for your definition of Natural Born Citizen? It is bogus hogwash which has no support in the legal or political or academic world.

You are pushing crack pot theories from idiots who do not understand the law or legal history.
