Original intent does not have to have been ruled on by the supreme court to exist.

The original intent was very plainly placed in the constitution - No divided loyalties for those holding the office of President.

Do you claim that there was some other original intent?

Let us be clear in this discussion, Original Intent does not and cannot imply legality.

Stating that a person cannot be President if both parents were not citizens at time of birth is not legally correct, it maybe correct from an original intent perspective, but there are no laws, clearly stated, that support that contention, either from the US Constition, Laws passed by Congress, or rulings by the Supreme Court.

Depending on which founders/early leaders you are referencing, you can come up with more than one version of original intent on this issue.

Trying to state that this issue is settled and implying that legally that a person cannot be President without two US Citizens as parents is neither correct, and for purposes of an honest discussion, needs to cease.
