Can you show me where in the framer’s writings they said that a natural born citizen MUST have both parents as citizens?
Quit asking folks to do your homework. Live up to your screen name...go seek and find.
Your question has been answered a zillion times over the past three years and much, much longer.
No, because the term “natural born citizen” was commonly recognized to mean born in-country of two citizen parents.
We have proof that there were two copies of Vattel’s “Laws of Nations” in use by the Framers at the Constitutional Convention—one borrowed by Benjamin Franklin and one by George Washington.
If it didn’t mean that, there was no need for John Jay to entreaty George Washington to change the original wording of the Constitution, to add the term “natural born”.Nor was there the need to carve out the exemption for those born here under British rule. Martin Van Buren( #8) was the first natural born President.
The Constitution is not a dictionary, thus it is not required to define terms of general known usage of the time of its writing. Its intent is often gathered by the contemporaneous other writings of the Framers as they tried to explain the document to their fellow citizens in 1787-1788 as they urged ratification of the document, and other terms that were in general usage at the time. The Supreme Court, in subsequent rulings, has never ruled otherwise.
