So, you are saying that none of those people are:
1. a natural born citizen
2. OR a citizen of the U.S.
3. AND 35 or older
4. AND has been a U.S. resident within the U.S. 14 years or more.

That part of the sentence which reads “..or a citizen of the United States” tells me the person didn’t have to be born in the U.S., as long as he is currently a citizen who has lived here for 14 years and is age 35 or older.

Please clarify what that “or” means.

the “or” a citizen continues, “at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution”. The language refers to those already born at that date and those yet to be born.

Did you fail reading? No person alive today was alive at the time of the adoption of the US Constitution. That exception applied only to the generations that were alive during the founding and framing of the USA.

So, you are saying that none of those people are:
1. a natural born citizen
2. OR a citizen of the U.S., at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution
3. AND 35 or older
4. AND has been a U.S. resident within the U.S. 14 years or more.

None of those people I listed are natural born citizens of the USA.
