MT, thanks for the post in 62.You are a seeker of truth, not a nitpicker.

In 63, i went back and saw that you were highlighting what the author of the article I referenced highlighted.

What I like is that after that sentence he said that the definition of who was eligible for President was never in doubt as it had been documented in the Constitution.

Thank you for your understanding. Many people swiftly assume I'm looking for an argument when, in fact, all I AM looking for is the truth. [It probably doesn't help that I'm pretty quick to respond when someone becomes insufferably patronizing, though. LOL!]

Yes, Bingham's definition is the most concise one I've found in all my wanderings through historical records. Apparently the definition was such common knowledge during the time of the Founders they saw little reason to remark upon it.

As one truth seeker to another - keep fighting the good fight, and when you get discouraged by all the nay-sayers, remember:

All truth passes through 3 stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.
- Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860)
