It is what it is.

....until it was repealed in 1795.

What you don't get is that a child born to two citizen parents on the soil is unquestionable.

Any other scenario is.

What do you think the founders had in mind, seriously?

It is the 1795 repeal, along with the original, that gives us the definition. Two citizen parents and born under the jurisdiction of the United States. What are you arguing about?

Hornswaggling, commie adherents to Mohammadism?

I guess I look at this in a simple way. To me natural born citizen means that a person can be nothing but a citizen of the U.S. If someone has a parent who is from another country then that person could claim dual citizenship to the parent’s nation. That also applies to someone born in another country; they could claim dual citizenship for the country they were born in. A natural born citizen cannot claim any other citizenship except for the country he is born in and that his parents are citizens of. The founders wanted to be sure that the President had no possibility of being influenced by any other country.
