Rudys grandparents could be from anywhere, it would not matter as long as Rudy's parents were born on US soil, they are US citizens. Rudys parents are US citizens by being born in this country but they are not “natural born”.

The law disagrees with you. As does the Supreme Court.

AT SOME POINT, OUR ANCESTORS WERE ALL “NATURALIZED” ...

For example: The Founding Fathers.

They realized that they WERE not “natural born”, so they included the exemption for them in Article II, Section I, Clause 5.

However, once they were naturalized (by adoption of the Constitution), their CHILDREN would be “natural born”, if born on U.S. soil to two (2) naturalized citizens.

BTW: They included the exemption since there would have been NO ELIGIBLE “natural born” citizen until 1824 ...
