George Washington was not a natural born citizen, since his eligibility was determined via the so-called grandfather clause. In other words, he was a citizen at the time of ratification of the Constitution, and met the age and length of residency requirements as well, so he was eligible. That both his parents were born in Virginia themselves didn’t have anything to do with his eligibility under the Constitution, at that time. The only thing that mattered was that Washington was a citizen, at least 35 years old, and resident 14 years.

I admit that I am dumm; yet trying to understand (brain is limping along behind me huffing and puffing). I get what you’re saying about GW, but how does that relate to what David said that isn’t true, or Obamination?

If my question is too stupid don’t worry - I’ll keep tagging along here.
