Either you are a Natural Born citizen or a Naturalized citizen.

Exactly. You are either born in America (Natural Born) or born in a foreign country and earned (or were given) citizenship (Naturalized). Donofrio is trying to argue that there are two classes of Americans who were born in America, on American soil.

He's wrong. Our Constitution does not recognize two separate classes of Americans born on American soil. If you were born on American soil and not the child of diplomats you are a Natural Born American. Period. End.

No, Donofrio is not arguing that. His argument is where Zero is concerned is that whether he was born in Hawaii or Kenya makes no difference. Zero's father was a kenyan, which was a British colony at the time, and under British law citizenship was passed through the father. Zero himself said he was British at birth. So that makes him at most a British citizen and at least having duel citizenship. Either way, he is ineligible.

McCain was born to two American citizens, but not on American soil, which makes him a Naturalized citizen. Which means he is not eligible either.

That does not make either one of them a "second class" citizen, but according to the Constitution, neither are Natural Born citizens.
