Someone cared enough to include a passage in the CONSTITUTION to address their eligibility as ‘grandfathered in’. And here you have been trying to convince us for all these weeks that you know the Constitution! Check your talking points ...

He just has to get his comments in. Maybe paid by comment?

And hopes some readers will be duped.

The grandfather clause was not included to make George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison eligible to be President. No competent historian claims that was the case.

The grandfather clause was included to make Alexander Hamilton (born on the island of Nevis in the Caribbean), James Wilson (born in Scotland) and other foreign-born patriots who helped give birth to our country, eligible to be President.

This is agreed on by all real historians and has been written about and commented on throughout US history.

Jeff Winston is a fool with an agenda. Reason and evidence are wasted on him. For whatever reason, he desperately wants to believe the common fallacy that Anchor babies are "natural citizens."

I personally think Jeff Works for some sort of RNC outfit or elected rep, and it is the official Party policy to contest eligibility issues.

As has been noted earlier, there are too many prominent Republicans with serious eligibility issues if the strict standard is applied.

People such as Jeff merely put Party politics before the truth or the best long term interests of the Nation.
