Do you think the Framers would have considered the son of a British subject a natural born citizen?

Absolutely.

He would have been a natural born citizen under the English common law, which is what prevailed with regard to citizenship after the Revolution.

I wholeheartedly disagree.

I don’t think the Founders would have added the clause “or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution” That clause grandfathered in those who were not born in the Colonies. The Founders were clear regarding subject to the jurisdiction thereof.

They didn’t say subject to British, Kenyan, French jurisdiction - ie to be inclusive. They were clearly being exclusive of other foreign jurisdictions.
