Where do you find pre-1994 congressional records online? I can only find it going back 1994 on Thomas or GPO.

Following proper COMSEC guidelines ... check your FReepmail for special links.

When searching for phrases, understand that some older OCR software engines occasionally interpreted “natural born” as “natural bom” regarding both Citizen and Subject.

Also, check records both with and without the hyphen between "natural-born" as different States used both. On the state level, South Carolina has better records of the era, compared to North Carolina (which I believe many were poorly archived). Massachusetts, on the other hand, did an excellent job archiving their records of later-18th Century and before.

And unlike the Obots here who fumble around here with Politijab talking points, there's absolutely no substitute for ACTUALLY reading and UNDERSTANDING the language and phraseology the Framer's used at the end of the 18th century. That's how I finally came to the understanding that Blackstone's "servant to two masters" REALLY refers to "Dual Citizen" in today's vernacular, thus damaging Obama's Eligibility status as a born British Subject.

Just as Justice Scalia did in interpreting "to keep and bear arms" in "DC v. Heller" (2008), the SCOTUS will exhaustively search for the Framer's usage of “natural born Citizen” ...
not some post-Progressive Age interpretation.
