...and you think this helps YOUR argument?

WChurchill's mother was American. he was born on british soil to a british father and an American mother. at birth, he was a US citizen as well as a british citizen.

BUT... he was not a natural born citizen of either country.

therefore, he could not become POTUS... insuring the founders intent

so you know the Founder’s intent? How old are you? Do you know them personally? What info do you have that no other legal scholar has????

Do tell. Enlighten up please, and simply “your interpretation” will not suffice.

Exactly, but if we accept the arguments some are making, Churchill would have been eligible. I believe he was precisely the kind of person the Founders intended to exclude. It would have been unthinkable to them to allow someone with potential loyalty to Britain to become POTUS.

Not under the laws in place at the time.
