It is often cited that our laws are based on English common law. According to English Common law as it was understood at the time the constitution was written, Children born abroad to British citizen parents are deemed to be Natural Born British Subjects themselves "without any exception". That is the understanding our forefathers would have had when the eligibility clause was inserted into the Constitution.

This clearly indicates that there is a Jus Sanguinis component inherent to the term "Natural Born Citizen". As such, Britain would be able to claim natural born citizenship based on Jus Sanguinis and the United States could make the same claim based on jus Solis. Are we to believe that a person can be a natural born citizen of two different nations?

It's not reasonable. It's not logical. A child born of two non-citizen parents creates the potential for exactly the kind of mischief that the eligibility clause was designed to prevent-foreign influence over our government. They created an electoral college rather than have the legislators pick the POTUS because they knew that foreign countries would spare no expense in influencing the legislators to pick presidents that would not serve the interests of the United States but, rather, foreign powers. It would be an inevitable disaster for this country. For the same reason, they inserted the eligibility clause into our constitution.

Why would they go to this much trouble to keep foreign powers out of our government only to leave this giant glaring loophole for foreign powers to exploit? They wouldn't have and they didn't.

The constitution is, quite simply, being SUBVERTED.

I mean no disrespect to any American citizen. I simply recognize that globalist powers want to own this country, to diminish its sovereignty and to take away our power to control our own destiny and subverting the eligibility clause is one of the ways by which they will accomplish this and I find it very hard to believe that our wise forefathers would have left them the means to do this when it's clear they were trying to prevent exactly this.
