>>... It takes gross revisionism to suggest that a 1797 book guided the document written in 1787...<<

And it takes an inane, pedantic idiot to suggest that the founders intended to allow someone subsequently born with multi-citizenship to qualify as a candidate for the office of President. The intent was clear in Art. II when they used the carefully considered terminology, “Natural-Born-Citizen” — not “subject”, nor “naturalized, nor ambiguous “citizen” with no other qualifier. To even attempt to suggest otherwise invalidates your point of view and proves your malfeasance and gross intellectual dishonesty. There is nothing you or any other black-robed scoundrel or politi-slut can do or say to change that original intent. Sorry.

“they used the carefully considered terminology, “Natural-Born-Citizen””

Yes...echoing the terminology used for 150+ years before them, with a meaning that was known to all Founders and all the new states.

Remember, in the first draft of the Constitution, NATURALIZED citizens were allowed to be President...NBC tightened it, requiring someone born in the USA.
