Of course they did.

"I submit that it is unreasonable to conclude that “natural-born citizen” applied to everybody born within the geographical tract known as the United States, irrespective of circumstances, and that the children of foreigners, happening to be born to them while passing through the country, whether of royal parentage or not, or whether of the Mongolian, Malay or other race, were eligible to the Presidency, while children of our citizens, born abroad, were not."

Of course they did.

You're helping to disprove your own point. Did you read what you just posed?? Where did the majority say that children born abroad of our citizens were not eligible to the Presidency?? Give us the direct quote and not a convoluted game of connect the dots.
