“Since the term, “natural born citizen” doesn’t seem to have one true meaning”

Yeah. It does have one meaning. American citizen born in America. Your premise is flawed. You are arguing that ‘no principle exists ergo we should not follow it’. This is no different than what liberals argue.

I do not think that, for the sake of one election, it is worth conceding this principle. There are very good reasons to want the presidency headed by someone born in America and that a conservative would deviate this principle opens the door to an election between a republican and a democrat, neither of whom were born in America, and where both are beholden not to Americans but to interests outside of America.

This is bad. Very, very bad.

No, the fact that you are willing to give away the presidency once again to a Democrat is what is bad - very bad! Your interpretation of “natural born citizen” is just that - YOUR interpretation. But, of course, apparently, you are one of the purists on this site, so, therefore, you are right and everyone else is wrong.
