“’Natural Born Citizen’, does not exist.”

Except in the Constitution.

Why would the Framers have put that specific term in the Constitution? They set out eligibility requirements for Senator, Representatives and POTUS. Only the last has that phrase inserted in those qualifications.

Those men did not mince words, or insert them unnecessarily into the document that would govern the republic they had so recently suffered so much to achieve.

Maybe you know something the Framers didn’t?

Because they didn't want naturalized citizens to be President.
