The initial draft of the Constitution indicated "born a citizen" to be eligible for POTUS. John Jay (1st Supreme Court Justice) concerned that the requirement was not strong enough, and fearing that a member of the British Royal Family could become President, urged George Washington to change the language to "Natural Born Citizen." A natural American, is one who at birth, is a citizen of only one nation. NOT one born with dual citizenship as Nikki Haley was, at birth.
