I don’t play golf.....Whats a Mulligan? ....LOLOLOLOL
Seems like you want to take all the most damning evidence off the table.... is that you Russ with one hand tied behind your back? LOLOLOLOL
I don’t believe that most of the Founders were lawyers....most seemed to be well read small businessmen and farmers...... Locke, Vittal, Blackstones, and others were in their libraries......
Question: If you were founding a new Nation, on a Republic model, would you use the Laws of the Monarchy you just rebelled and successfully broke away from?.......hhhhmmmmm..........I think I would be tempted to use something other than what was previously imposed on me, even if familiar, and try out something new.....maybe the well read and understood Law of Nations.....ooops I forgot one hand behind....LOLOLOLOLOL Ever consider that Blackstones was used a model for what not to do?
Yes, the Constitution and other laws was/were the start of American Statute law, we did not go the Common Law route...
No Obama is not an NBC... the letters and writtings concurrant with the writting of the Constitution indicate their concern with having a divided loyality President, something very common with the monarchies of Europe....It makes no sense that they wanted anything other than an “American Born and American Bred” for President.....
Tell me what requirements would you have written into the Constitution have you been alive then? and why?
Thirty-four of the fifty-five delegates to the Constitutional Convention were lawyers. Don't know how many actually signed - but they would have been heavily involved in the drafting
. FYI: Twenty-two of the fifty-six signers of the Declaration of Independence were lawyers - another nine were judges ...

No - we did not go the Common Law route, with one exception. Many SCOTUS cases declare that when American Law is found lacking, resort must be made to English Common Law - from whence American Law was derived. There was a famous patent and trademark case about this ...
Unfortunately, the concept of being "natural born" [citizen or subject] was almost universally known at that time. That is why the Founders did not have to expound on it.
Had they thought it was going to be a problem, they would have written [my addition in italics]:
"No person except a natural born Citizen [having solitary allegiance to the United States], or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.
