One man’s opinion does not make it so.

Rawle's treatise is not just "one man's opinion." Rawle was appointed by George Washington as the first U.S. Attorney for Pennsylvania, and the book I quoted from was the first-ever law book published on the subject of U.S. Constitutional law. So his opinion is a guide to the original understanding of the Constitution's "natural born citizen" language.
