I cite the constitution.

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.

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

It states that a natural born citizen or one who is a citizen of the United States at the time that the constitution was written is eligible to become president.

George Washington was born a subject to the King of England. Not of America, for America did not exist.
