"For the 1,000th time, a natural born citizen means a citizen from birth."

---------------------------------------

No, it doesn't. Here's how we know...

Alexander Hamilton's suggestion of "born a citizen" for Constitutional Presidential eligibility was rejected by the Constitutional Convention, and John Jay's 'natural born citizen" was adopted instead.

"Born a citizen" does not equal "natural born citizen.

Alexander Hamilton's suggestion (Article IX Section 1):
Alexander Hamilton's draft

John Jay's suggestion, intending the requirement to exclude foreigners (those born dual citizens are born foreigners):
John Jay's July 25, 1787 letter to George Washington

Keep up the informative and substantive posts coming, in response to posters who confuse their opinions and wishful thinking as constitutional law.
