John Bingham:
1) He was speaking almost 80 years after the Constitution was framed, so he hardly stands as any kind of authority on the original meaning of Article II.
2) He was only responsible for writing the second sentence (i.e. the Equal Protection and Due Process Clauses) of the 14th Amendment. He did not write the first sentence (the Citizenship Clause). That was an amendment added by the Senate.
Again, twisting the truth away.....
“On every question of construction, carry ourselves back to the time when the Constitution was adopted, recollect the spirit manifested in the debates, and instead of trying what meaning may be squeezed out of the text, or invented against it, conform to the probable one in which it was passed.” —Thomas Jefferson to William Johnson, 1823
So when the United States Constitution amended and ratified to allow ‘native’ citizens eligible for the Presidency.
Hint; as close to 2004, the Natural Citizen Child Act was not passed.
I’ll give to teh answer - NEVER.
