Natural born citizens are born here of citizen parents.
Sorry if it hurts the feelings of those who aren’t.
The children of foreign nationals are precisely who the founders were excluding.
Obama is proof that they were right.
I’ll be honest with you. I have a lot more problem with the fact that Obama spent his formative years in Indonesia hearing “the most beautiful call to prayer” rather than the passport carried by the sperm doner who dumped him and his mother. That’s what made Obama/Sotero “foreign”.
My dad and his brothers grew up in America, in an American home. My granddad applied for citizenship as soon as he was eligible (I think the wait was 7 years). My granddad was foreign born and foreign raised, even though he lived most of his life as an American citizen, he wasn’t ‘natural born’.
I don’t think that most people who study the concept of ‘natural born’ would agree with your idea that my dad and uncles weren’t ‘natural-born American citizens. That, of course, doesn’t make you wrong or me right. On this one we’ll have to agree to disagree. I do see your point, however.
