Are you aware that the principal authors of the 14th Amendment made it quite clear in their comments as recorded in the Congressional Record that the 14th Amendment did not affect in any way the presidential eligibility clause in Article II? Where is there any authority that the 14th Amendment had any effect on the Article II presidential eligibility clause?

What evidence is there that the phrase "natural born citizen" in the Article II presidential eligibility clause was inspired by and drawn from English law?
