“The grandfather clause was never used. Not even once.”

It was used 7 times, for every president up to van Buren.

That’s what the constitution actually says.

“And this is agreed upon by every real historian in history.”

Pity, when you have the facts, argue the facts, when you don’t have the facts, argue the status of the person who agrees with you.

Again - the constitution is clear. Those born as natural born citizens of the United States of America, or those who were citizens of the United States at the signing of the US Constitution in 1787.

It is impossible to be a natural born citizen of a country that did not exist when you were born. Washington through to Jackson were actually born British subjects to the crown, subject to HRH.

So while you’re arguing their French citizenship, it is odd that you ignore their English citizenship which came first.

You are arguing that the Constitution defines “natural born citizen,” and that it means what you say it means, when it’s clear it doesn’t.

You can cite no significant authority in history who ever agreed with you.

That’s because no significant authority in history ever did agree with you.

I’ve cited the facts, as explained by major historians throughout history.

Ah, but those don’t mean anything, because we have the OPINION of some birther on the internet, who never knew any of the Founding Fathers, who didn’t dedicate his life to the Constitution and the law, in fact, who has no visible legal or historical expertise whatsoever.

Sorry, but your OPINION doesn’t count for jack. And simply asserting that your OPINION is the way it is, without any real authority to back you up, isn’t worth squat.
