One thing is crystal clear to all.

The term "natural born Citizen" is a requirement for the Presidency (& Vice-President) post grandfather era.

What does that term mean to you and why would the framers (& other founders) have made that requirement for those that came after them, changing it from "Citizen" initially to "natural born Citizen" during the federal convention after receiving Jays letter?
