Natural Born or NOT?

The following is a true story shared by KC Williams who
teaches AP government at Santa Fe High School.
In one of KC's classes, they were discussing the qualifications to
be president of the United States. They are pretty simple:
The candidate must be a natural born citizen and at least 35 years
of age. One girl in the class immediately started complaining about how
unfair the requirement to be a natural born citizen was.
In short, her opinion was that this requirement prevented many
capable individuals from becoming president. KC and the class were
just taking it in and letting her rant, but everyone's jaw hit the
floor when she wrapped up her argument by stating,
"What makes a natural born citizen any more qualified to lead this
country than one born by c-section?"
