The Executive therefore ought to be so constituted as to be the great protector of the Mass of the people. — It is the duty of the Executive to appoint the officers & to command the forces of the Republic: to appoint 1. 3 ministerial officers for the administration of public affairs. 2. 3 officers for the dispensation of Justice. Who will be the best Judges whether these appointments be well made? The people at large, who will know, will see, will feel the effects of them.

What better way to seek to ensure this quality in a President, than to require that he (or she) be of The People, himself (or herself)?

Is the child of a foreign citizen really of The People? Allegiances will have formed elsewhere, for such a child. Empathy will be lacking, for what Madison termed "the great Mass of the people."

So, the Framers sought to preclude such individuals, from ever attaining the highest office of the land, for this reason. They were prescient in their concern. We're now living the consequences of having ignored them.

If you look at the Constitution’s requirements of the president, one stands out: that he shall take good care that the laws be faithfully executed.

Let’s start with his oath of office, where he swears to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution. = FAIL.
