It’s not that hard to come up with a cogent and reasonable definition of natural born citizen as it applies to qualification for the Office of the President. Lurkinanloomin’s not bad, but his opinion and this author’s opinion doesn’t count. Fodder for cocktail party chatter.
Those two versions are not the only ones out there. Lots of variables in this one. I have not heard a new and original idea since the birther threads in the Obama era. None of them were resolved. I think that I will go back to my watch over the Flynn case.
The founders were looking for the strictest definition that would preclude any foreign influence on the office of President.
The only way one can NATURALLY be a citizen is when one CANNOT be anything else, born here of citizen parents.

Don't be silly Citizen and Natural Born Citizen mean exactly the same thing, just like boy and girl mean the same thing. </s>
