When one is born in this country of citizen parents, one is naturally a citizen as it is not possible to be anything else.

Anyone born something else is not naturally an American.

That is what natural born citizen means.

The rejected “born a citizen” as too vague. (Hamilton’s suggested phrase)

They wanted a higher standard that would guarantee no foreign influence on that one office. (see John Jay’s letter to Washington)

Thomas Paine opined that we would never half a “half-foreign” President unlike the English who had German Kings because of the natural born citizen clause.
