I would like to add a quote by Thomas Jefferson “We can say with confidence that a natural born citizen of the U.S. means those persons born whose father the U.S. already has an established jurisdiction over, i.e. born to fathers who are themselves citizens of the U.S.” 1777

What? Jefferson said this 10 years before the Constitution was written (if he indeed said it at all- please cite this quote) and he was certainly not referring to eligibility to be president.

Besides, his father was born in Kenya.
