Natural born, in the context of the Framers, meant someone born in the United States. On that basis, Arthur, Trump, and (maybe) Obama would qualify. However, legal precedent from case law indicates that both parents have to be American citizens for an individual to be considered natural born. Obama’s reported father was not one, and neither was Arthur's father, at least when he was born, as the family had only recently moved from Canada to Vermont. I am not sure whether Trump's mother had become a citizen at the time of his birth. If she had been naturalized, Trump would qualify as natural born.

Dead wrong. Like I said, you’re not very good at this.

"Natural born, in the context of the Framers, meant someone born in the United States."

Aside from the fact that blacks, indians, etc that were born in the U.S. weren't even citizens until the 14th and later. Even under the 14th, those born in the United States to foreign nationals, whether here legally or illegally, are not EVEN U.S. CITIZENS! Not to mention natural born citizens. No matter what the courts say.
