Barry Soetoro/Barack Hussein Obama should be proof enough of the wisdom of the founders when they tried to prevent him from being President by requiring someone who could only be a US citizen and nothing else.
Born here of citizen parents.
Naturally a US citizen because there is no other possibility.
One cannot be anything else and also be a natural born citizen.
Obama told us he was born a British Subject.
Who believes Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Jay, Monroe, Madison, etc. would have found him to be a natural born citizen?
Usurpation Day, January 20, 2009, happened with the complete cooperation of both parties.
They want the Constitution changed without the hassle of amending the Constitution.
Confuse people about the clear meaning of a three word phrase and voila, every anchor baby and Winston Churchill is eligible.
The bench was the reason the GOP went along with the fig leaf resolution for McCain that was used by the Democrats as cover for Obama.
Jindal, Rubio, Haley and Cruz were all up and comers and the future of the party and ineligible.
Presidents Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, John Quincy Adams, and Jackson were all born British subjects. None of them was a natural born citizen and they got grandfatered in under the exception in Article II Section 1. They turned out all right!
The first Naturalization Act passed by the first Congress in 1790 included the following exception: “the children of citizens of the United States that may be born beyond Sea, or out of the limits of the United States, shall be considered as natural born Citizens: provided, That the right of citizenship shall not descend to persons whose fathers have never been resident in the United States”.

You sir are the winner! The elite have been trying to destroy the clause for quite some time. Obama basically killed the clause, but if any life was left in it the Cruzers are going to make sure to finish it off.
Thanks guys, now we are all going to learn what the clause was meant to prevent.
