Many thanks for your post #100.
Guess what else?
I didn't even pick this up - but xzins did, and posted it in post #92.
Not only was Bayard's grandfather, Richard Bassett, United States Senator #1 and one of the 39 Delegates who Signed the Constitution, James Bayard's FATHER was known to his peers in Congress as "HIGH PRIEST OF THE CONSTITUTION."
And Bayard's exposition of the Constitution, of course, was vetted by the Great Chief Justice John Marshall, Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story, Chancellor Kent, and other distinguished jurists of the early United States. Marshall corrected him on one other minor point, but not one person ever said he was wrong about natural born citizenship.
