Read the link provided.
The reason they chose natural born citizen was it was the most restrictive term.
Not born a citizen, that was suggested by Hamilton and rejected.
Not native born, not just citizen.
John Jay in his letter to Washington insisted on natural born citizen to exclude the possibility of foreign influence on the Commander in Chief.
The quality they were going for was someone who was NATURALLY a citizen because they could not be anything else.
Solely an American.
Anyone who is born with more than ONE nationality is NOT naturally an American.
