Original intent is the go-to catch-all for the birthers. That lets them play fast and loose with long meaningless quotes that don't have the force of law.
Actually looking at the laws on naturalization (of which, one can be naturalized by birth) is not as convoluted and doesn't appeal to them.

Which is why I alluded to "gnosticism". :-)
It goes along with modern 20th century gnostic practitioners like Madame Blavatsky. For all I care, those who prattle on about "original intent" with regards to natural born citizen may just as well go ahead and conduct a seance or rub a crystal ball...
