The exact wording says that anyone who was a citizen of the United States at the time of the adoption of the Constitution, was eligible to be President.

People should READ the Constitution before starting threads about the Constitution.

Thank you for your inestimable advice.

This topic is broader than the constitution. For example, some on FR have claimed that the founders would never have considered someone born outside the US (or former colonies) as eligible for president. Clearly, early Americans, if not the founders themselves, did consider such persons eligible.
