Why did the framers of constitution said NATURAL Born Citizen, And NOT simply a citizen? What did NATURAL mean during the time period when our Constitution was written? Only SCOTUS can sort this out. Everything else is Hot Air.

“Why did the framers of constitution said NATURAL Born Citizen, And NOT simply a citizen?”

Because the term citizen also covers those who were not citizens when they were born, but became citizens later in life via naturalization.

NATURAL born means born a citizen as unopposed to naturalized.

2 kinds of citizens, that’s all. There is no magical third class of citizen of people that are born citizens but aren’t “natural born” because you want someone else to be President.
