It's really great that you spend so much time on the natural-born thing. I agree with your conclusions, but it's hardly as cut and dried as you suggest. Consider:

The citizens of each state constituted the citizens of the United States when the Constitution was adopted. The rights which appertained to them as citizens of those respective commonwealths, accompanied them in the formation of the great, compound commonwealth which ensued. They became citizens of the latter, without ceasing to be citizens of the former, and he who was subsequently born a citizen of a state, became at the moment of his birth a citizen of the United States. Therefore every person born within the United States, its territories or districts, whether the parents are citizens or aliens, is a natural born citizen in the sense of the Constitution, and entitled to all the rights and privileges appertaining to that capacity.

That may have been Rawles view in 1829. What gives this professor’s opinion the force of law? That site’s disclaimer states:

“The information on this site is not “legal advice” that might help you achieve favorable outcomes in a court.”

Got anything legally applicable that proves a Constitutionally “Natural Born Citizen” can have alien parents?
