Is it solely due to the danger of a dual citizenship from being born on the soil of a country like the USA which gives citizenship to anyone born on the soil of the USA, and thus having a divided allegiance? Even if the country specifically did NOT grant citizen to those birthed on their soil?
That is, did the Framers just make it a blanket denial of inclusion in the “natural born” category because they recognized that laws in any country, can change at any time, and trying to determine who was born where in what time under which laws at that time could be dangerously unpredictable?
