Is the son of King George, born to an American mother, loyal to America?

Let's leave the issue of royalty, with the possible complications of claims on the British throne, out of it for now.

Suppose a British general who becomes dissatisfied with the regime moves to America, marries an American woman and sires a son.

That son is raised as American from birth and never feels loyalty to any other nation.

I think the founders would relate and I see no reason they would want to prohibit that boy from becoming President one day.

In both cases, the son born could be American or British. A natural born citizen can be no other.

A son born here of American parents can be nothing but American. No other country on the planet can call him a citizen at the time of his birth.
This is what makes him a natural born citizen as opposed to a citizen.

It is also why the “Citizen at the time of the adoption of the constitution” is in the text, not one of the founders was a natural born citizen.
