That will be news to George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, John Quincy Adams, Andrew Jackson, and William Henry Harrison, all of whom were born British subjects.
But by all means, don't let facts get in the way of a discussion. Neither Trump nor any of his followers ever do.
They were citizens at the time of adoption.
“But by all means, don’t let facts get in the way of a discussion.”
The FACTS are that the Constitution mandated you have to be a natural born citizen to be president. The Naturalization Act of 1790 defined natural born as being born of citizen parents.
And the ones you mentioned were citizens of the various states, the states that banded together to form the nation.
No Person except a natural born Citizen, 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.
********************************************************
The part after the first comma exempted all those you listed because they knew it would be at least 35 years until there could be citizens born here of citizen parents, natural born citizens.
They certainly would not have thought Barry Soetoro/Barck Hissein Obama, British subject and Indonesian citizen was eligible, he was not a citizen at the tme of the adoption of the Constitution so the natural born citizen part should have been applied. He’s not one.
Don’t let the fact that all those guys were born in the commonwealths of the original 13 colonies get in your way either, FRiend.
Ouch.. that had to have left a mark.
