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 ...

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.

It was for both. If they followed the logic of the NBC crowd, the United States would have had to wait until Martin Van Buren to even have a President.

You are seriously ill, mentally. You declare things that are patently false to be true because you've declared it, regardless of the facts.

I will hereafter refrain from posting to you on any topic at FR. Don't post to me, don't ping me to your idiotic kneepad wearing servitude to the grand lie that is little barry bastard boy. Your little demigod racist, Barack Obama, is an obscenity to humankind in general and to America specifically. He is a liar, just like you.

You have no regard for the truth in your purposely convoluted posts, while at the same time declaring your opinions to be not only the only truth but the only allowable perspective on the facts.

You are a nuisance, a liar, and an ass. Bray in someone else's direction, I think you stink the place up. It is alinsky tactics like you use that give some threads on FR a bad taste. You do not deal in truth, you spew your specious opinion of what written words mean knowing full well that you are twisting the meaning sometimes 180 degrees to fit your deception in service to the lying freak now occupying the White House ... occasionally, when he and his brood get back from a vacation.

You have been refuted time and again and consistently refuse to recognize your deception has been exposed. And now you will, as in typical fashion of alinsky vermin, demand that a list of refutations be posted or else you will declare that the charge is false. Buzz off, you obamaroid freak, I have zero respect for anything you post in service to the Obama lies.

This is another bold face lie by the Fogbow/John Woodman/Dr. Conspiracy disciple Jeff Winston. The only reason to grandfather the first several presidents in was to do so until a 2nd generation U.S. born natural born Citizen came along that met the actual 35 years of age requirement after the adoption of the Constitution so pure allegiance to America would be guaranteed. How was that allegiance guaranteed? He was born to two U.S. citizen parents.

You really are an idiot, and so is your good buddy Dr. Conspiracy who puts out this idiot theory.

You HAVE to believe this nonsense, because if you accept the truth, it renders the rest of your crap theory unpalatable even for you.
