I take history to show that there was little public concern about citizen eligibility for POTUSA because elections were generally above board. However this was skewed by Obama enablers especially Polosi in the certification procedures/process. I recognize that most all of the politicians and talk people do not recognize that that things were in any way done wrongly. However, as a free spirit along with many others, I use my own sense of facts to weigh that something has gone awry with Obama’s candidacy and election. The ‘what’ is becoming more apparent each and every day. The ‘why’ remains perhaps for future historians. Until then I will probably continue to hold that Obama is a usurper of the USA Constitution. Just plain logic apart from being a moron tells me, and many others, that there are two distinct and separate kinds of citizens in/between Article I and Article II of the Constitution. A moron can see a difference of wording but a iconoclast might not.

So no theory as to why nobody on FR was advancing the “two parents and born on U.S. soil” theory as to the meaning of natural born citizen until AFTER 0bama’s election in 2008? Maybe it isn't as widespread an understanding as you pretend.

There are different qualifications for being a Senator or a President. To be a Senator any type of citizen can qualify. To be a President only a natural born citizen or citizen at the time of the adoption of the Constitution can qualify. That should be obvious.

What is not obvious is that by specifying “citizen” in Article I that the Constitution is describing a fourth type of citizen rather than an inclusive description whereby ANY type of U.S. citizen can qualify. If so then, it should be equally obvious, naturalized citizens and natural born citizens couldn't qualify to be a Senator. That is ludicrous and idiotic.
