40% of the Signers of the Constitution passed a law in which they stated that children born US citizens abroad were eligible to be President. So either your statement above is FALSE, or they were simply declaring what the law already was.

They declared that they would be "considered as" "natural born citizens" As long as they didn't have a foreign father.

Get. It. Right.

Why on earth would you cite this act? It hurts you far more than it helps.

Either way: 40% of the Signers of the Constitution say your words are bull****.

No they don't, you are putting your own words in their mouths. Again, the straw man tactic, this time by proxy.

Though they be dead these many years, still they speak more intelligently and truthfully than you.

You're kidding, right?

It is clear that they intended such persons to be eligible to the Presidency. So the completely destroys the claim that the Framers intended "natural born citizen" to mean "born on US soil of two citizen parents."

I don't know how you can even keep arguing in the light of that fact.

Except, of course, that continuing to push bull**** is simply what you do.
