Yes, though weren’t some people here claiming that at the time the Constitution was written, ‘natural born’ was also taken to mean without the divided loyalties of any dual citizenship? I don’t think that’s ever been established in court and wouldn’t be upheld in this case, but that was also part of the argument.

Also, this ‘debunking’ doesn’t address the theory that Obama was adopted by his Indonesian stepfather and given an Indonesian passport at that time, but if he then later traveled to Pakistan on that passport, as is suspected, over the age of 18 that that would have been taken as a disowning of his other, American, citizenship.

I don’t think any of this is going anywhere, btw.

Citizenship guidlines were changed under the fourteenth amendment, so it wouldn’t matter how people understood citizenship when the Constitution itself was written.
