I will also add the fact the limitation on the eligibility for the Office of the President of the United States was actually a gigantic liberalization on such restrictions. Under English and British law up to the time of the adoption of the Constitution, a person born abroad with citizen parents was not eligible to hold any English or British position as an officer. During the drafting of the Constitution the continuation of the historic restrictions to eligibility against persons born abroad were considered for a variety of U.S. offices, including the Senate and House of Representatives; but they were all eventually rejected with the singular exception of the Office of the President.
Very interesting, thanks for posting that.
