“A natural born citizen is born from other members of its class..citizens of the United States. A natural born citizen cannot be spurious...born from US and foreign citizens.”

The word spurious comes from the Romans..the child is spurious if born from a Roman citizen and a foreigner. The child cannot be a Roman citizen and was considered no better than a slave. This comes from Livy.

Did the Founders read Livy. Jefferson read everything and he could read in the original Latin and Greek when he was a child.

The Founders read the Greek and Roman classics. Aristotle tells us a citizen comes from two citizen parents. Perciles had a two citizen parent law in Athens.

Rome had a two citizen parent law. The Romans had another definition for a child of parents of two different countries..it is mongrel.

Homer tells us .beware having foreigners as soldiers. Homer also tells us..to be beware having to many foreigners in the city..Troy had many.

The Roman empereor Caracalla granted citizenship to the foreigners in the Empire..he did this to obtain more revenue from taxes to keep up with his public spending.

This was the beginning of the downfall of the Roman Empire.

The Founders knew this. Plus they had the Law of Nations.

Why would they want..Obama eligible to be President. The son of a foreigner.

The Founders bestowed natural born citizenship status upon a person with no American parents, Marie-Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de La Fayette

On 28 December 1784 the Maryland General Assembly passed a resolution stating that The Marquis de La Fayette and his male heirs “forever shall be...natural born Citizens” of the state. This made him a natural born citizen of the United States under the Articles of Confederation and as defined in Section 1 of Article Two of the United States Constitution. In 1803 and 1804 President Jefferson offered to make him Governor of Louisiana, and in 1932, a Lafayette descendant René de Chambrun established his American citizenship based on the Maryland resolution.
