Why did the Founders remove born a citizen and replace with natural born Citizen?

Because “Natural Born” is being distinguished from “Naturalized”

The Terms Natural Born, Native Born, and many others were all used, interchangeably at that time.

Natural Born meant that no one could become a Naturalized Citizen and then become President.

You have no case

I would ask him no questions. You can't get milk from a bull. (At least not the kind you want.) :)
