Actually the natural born idea was borrowed from England at the time our Constitution was written.

The English had gone through so much of this crap that they finally made it law under George the 1st. (Who was their king, even though he was German.)

But, if you really want to read a great book, get "Pirate Hunter" the true story of Captain Kidd, by Richard Zacks. It shows how William Kidd, a hero of the war in St. Kitts, became a victim of the royal establishment under King William. (William was not really English either.)
