I agree that the Founders wanted to limit foreign influence of the president. That’s why a president cannot be born overseas. And I’m prepared to accept that parental requirement, if someone would just show me some evidence that it is what the Founders wanted.

I wish that website hadn't been erased but you know why it was. The debate by the Founders wasn't a long one but they were firm in their insistence. I looked for another source but never found one.

may I ask Do you believe the founders wanted a president whose parents were british citizens after the wars of 1776 and 1812. Irrespective of those who fought against Britain and were considered traitors by britain.

The parentage requirement is to prevent rule by child proxy.

Or in more modern Jerry Springer terms, Adolph and Eva's kid aint eligible just cause he dropped over here.
