You're taking this quote way out of context and trying to apply it incorrectly, just as you have been the 14th Amendment!

Madison said this regards to a William Smith from S. Carolina born in 1758 and who left the colonies in 1770 as a child. He was in England at prep school with his parents and they were all absent from America during the whole of the war until November 1783; his parents both died while they were in England.

I'm taking nothing out of context.

What you can't seem to grasp is first that when Madison said what he did with regard to place of birth, he was establishing some general principles before leading up to his specific defense of Smith. And that in doing so, stated clearly that it was place, not parentage which applied in the United States.

What you trolls don't seem to grasp and probably don't care, is that we know nothing about this clown. He is supposed to be potus and we don't even have a valid BC from him. Where he was born is up for debate as is who was his father just to scratch the surface of our many questions.

It just never ends with this clown and if you can't see our concern for that maybe a trip down to visit your brothers at the DU would be better venue for you rather than continually trolling this site.
