“Can you actually read English? He says “foreigners,” not “children of foreigners.”

Honestly, FR people are getting less intelligent every day.”

OK. Now let’s give YOUR dumb ass a quick little IQ test. Did you ever stop to consider that amongst the “Foreigners” that Jay was referring to were the PARENTS AND THEIR ASSOCIATES. And that the reasoning was to minimize the possibility of alien ideas transmitted thru their children by ensuring that the PARENTS were vetted by US citizenship???

I guess not. You’re too busy trying to get Hussein, the lying Marxist basturd of a usurper off the hook.

Nope, I sure didn’t, and I’ll tell you why: Because I can read and comprehend what I am reading. John Jay was talking about foreigners “IN” the government. Parents of presidents aren’t “IN” the national government.

John Jay wrote:

“Permit me to hint, whether it would be wise and reasonable to provide a strong check to the admission of Foreigners into the administration of our national Government; and to declare expressly that the Commander in Chief of the American army shall not be given to nor devolve on, any but a natural born Citizen.”

Your interpretation, and thus your conclusion, are both based on your inability to read English and understand it. See the phrase above “into the administration of our national Government;” Do you? Do parents of presidents have any role in national government????

Think, man!
