To: Constitution 123
When I concluded in post 300 That Natural Born Citizen means, a person born of citizen parents both mother and father loyal only to the USA. That was a contextual conclusion based the logic of the framers.
Yes. Unfortunately, it's counter to what the Founders actually wrote into the Constitution, and also counter to at least what one prominent Founder, James Madison (who knew a thing or two about our greatest document) believed.
Guesses and extrapolations about intent can never trump their actual clear words.

You and I read the same words. To me they are quite clear. Yet you think they mean something they don't mean.
I have an idea.... Let others here read what I wrote in post 300 and then read your reply. Most with sufficient grey matter will agree with me.
