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.
Nothing in that statement/suggestion/comment from a man who would sit on the SCOTUS even addresses parents except in the context of natural born, the ones that would be admitted into the administration of our national government, not the parents. Thus Jay established the contrast between foreigners and those natural born. Thing is, you know that yet are bound by your obamanoid kneed pad servitude to try and spin the obvious into something obscure. You Obama defenders are real devious, but apparently not so smart little nettles.
Right. Nothing about the parents. But YOU are the one saying the parents have to be citizens. The parents could be foreigners!
I detest Obama, so your calling me a supporter of him is another measure of your inability to think clearly. I am not defending anything but clear thinking. You cannot comprehend plain English. Jay is talking about "the admission of Foreigners into the administration of our national Government." A child born of foreigners is not a foreigner: He or she is a natural born citizen. That was the law in the colonies and that was the law in the states after independence was declared.
U.S. Supreme Court
U.S. v. WONG KIM ARK, 169 U.S. 649 (1898)
169 U.S. 649
It thus clearly appears that by the law of England for the last three centuries, beginning before the settlement of this country, and continuing to the present day, aliens, while residing in the dominions possessed by the crown of England, were within the allegiance, the obedience, the faith or loyalty, the protection, the power, and the jurisdiction of the English sovereign; and therefore every child born in England of alien parents was a natural-born subject, unless the child of an ambassador or other diplomatic agent of a foreign state, or of an alien enemy in hostile occupation of the place where the child was born.
III. The same rule was in force in all the English colonies upon this continent down to the time of the Declaration of Independence, and in the United States afterwards, and continued to prevail under the constitution as originally established.
