"Well, the constitution says parents, not parent."

Let me guess...you've never actually read the Constitution, have you? It says no such thing. This is the entirety of what it says about presidential qualifications:

"No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States."

Do you see the word "parent" or "parents" in there anywhere? Of course you don't.

so what is the difference between a natural born citizen and a citizen? Why did they put that wording there? Does it mean anything other than citizen?
