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

I cite the constitution.

Washington et al were British subjects to the Queen. There was no America at the time. Did he call himself an American back then? No. If anything it was Virginian and not American. This is significant.

Nowhere in the Constitution does it say George Washington was not a natural born citizen.

You're citing the Constitution, PLUS your PERSONAL BELIEF of what "natural born citizen" means.

"I believe George Washington wasn't a natural born citizen. The Constitution says no one but a natural born citizen, or a citizen at the time of the ratification of the Constitution, can be President. Therefore, George Washington wasn't a natural born citizen."

Sorry, that doesn't cut it. Not by a long shot.
