I think you’ll find very few people who believe that a 3 year old who then lived in the U.S. for the next 42 years had divided loyalties as an infant.
The Founders were concerned about ADULTS from Great Britain trying to reestablish the monarchy.

Barry Soetoro/Barack Hussein Obama should be proof enough of the wisdom of the founders when they tried to prevent him from being President by requiring someone who could only be a US citizen and nothing else.
Born here of citizen parents.
Naturally a US citizen because there is no other possibility.
One cannot be anything else and also be a natural born citizen.

Obama told us he was born a British Subject.

Who believes Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Jay, Monroe, Madison, etc. would have found him to be a natural born citizen?

Usurpation Day, January 20, 2009, happened with the complete cooperation of both parties.
They want the Constitution changed without the hassle of amending the Constitution.
Confuse people about the clear meaning of a three word phrase and voila, every anchor baby and Winston Churchill is eligible.

The bench was the reason the GOP went along with the fig leaf resolution for McCain that was used by the Democrats as cover for Obama.
Jindal, Rubio, Haley and Cruz were all up and comers and the future of the party and ineligible.

I have far less concern over Ted Cruz's loyalty to the nation than I do for that ineligible affirmative action fool who's been pretending to be a President for the last 8 years. (and botching it worse than his critics could have ever dreamed.)

The founders set forth a standard that is not perfect in determining loyalty, but will generally yield a superior result than what would be obtained from the members of the out group.

They did the best they could to impart the salient aspect of it, but the problem with law is that you have to write it down, and thereby it often ends up as a caricature of it's original purpose.

The 14th amendment, for example, now looks like a "Transgender" version of a law that started out as one thing, but has now become a made-up, high heeled, monstrosity of itself.

People have forgotten how things get warped over the years, and especially with the application of "living constitution" logic.
