The reason they did that was because the USA didn’t exist when they were born. I am really beginning to question the intelligence of the people on this site.
There would have been no reason to have included the natural born citizen clause is any native born citizen or native born national was supposed to be eligible. By including themselves born under the sovereignty of foreign sovereigns as the special exception to the rule, they thereby indicated the natural born citizen clause affected any person born with allegiance to a foreign sovereign whether by place of birth on foreign soil and/or by birth to any parent with allegiance to a foreign sovereign. This is confirmed by the original oaths of allegiance to the United States particularly in regard to King George III and others and by the recommendation of future Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States John jay that prompted the inclusion of the natural born citizen phrase in the Constitution.
Your unsupported denials and gainsaying of the eligibility issue does nothing to support your argument more refute the evidence we bring forth against it.
Then go back to DU moon.

Brilliant, you just defeated your own argument.
From that point on, as the Founders intended, you must be Natural Born, a different criteria then just being a Citizen as they were.
