July 25, 1787 letter from John Jay to George Washington, presiding officer of the Convention. Jay wrote:
Permit me to hint, whether it would be wise and seasonable to provide a strong check to the admission of Foreigners into the administration of our national Government; and to declare expressly that the Commander in Chief of the American army shall not be given to nor devolve on, any but a natural born Citizen
Maybe it should have said “Permit me to hint, whether it would be wise and seasonable to provide a strong check to the admission of Foreigners and ‘wiggieFools’ into the administration of our national Government; and to declare expressly that the Commander in Chief of the American army shall not be given to nor devolve on, any but a natural born Citizen
Know the letter. Love the letter.
How do imagine it helps you even the tiniest bit?
