Sounds like Donofrio ignored the case law, specifically US vs. Wong Kim Ark.

The gist of it: if Obama was born in Hawaii, his parents’ citizenship is completely irrelevant, so long as neither of them is a foreign diplomat or part of a hostile occupying force.

This is going nowhere fast.

Are you saying that the founders were not in fact ‘interested’ in the case of foreign citizenship of someones parent or parents, when it came to eligibility for the Presidency?

No, he is very much aware of the Wong Kim Ark case.

Please see the following link for some information about the case:

Pay particular attention to comments by Justice Stevens (he would be considered a ‘liberal’ judge) about this case:

“A refusal to consider reliable evidence of original intent in the Constitution is no more excusable than a judge’s refusal to consider legislative intent.”
