So if the FF intent would allow Zippo to be King of Kenya and president, how about King of England and president?

I was not there so I can’t read their minds. However, I believe the bottom line would be PATRIOTISM and LOYALTY to country.
Being born in America of American parents does not guarantee that you will grow up to love America ( see John Walker Lindh for example ).
On the other hand, there are people born overseas who grwo up in America and REALLY LOVE America and will die for this country.
If I were to take a guess, I’d say the framers would favor the latter.
