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.

If you go back and look at the very first response I gave to your "Bayard" argument, you will find that it is just as appropriate now as it was THE VERY FIRST TIME I TOLD YOU.

This is what you do Jeff. You just keep making the same ridiculous claims over and over again, and obliging the rest of us to keep knocking them down over and over and over again. I should just start writing boiler plate rebuttals of your CONSTANT fallacies and false equivalences. Perhaps I could get it so simple as to simply refer to the relevant rebuttal by number.

So the notion that the FATHER had to be a citizen is even more strongly reinforced then, isn't it?

Once more for all you silly @$$E$, If a Foreign Father cannot make a child born here into a citizen WITHIN THIS VERY COUNTRY, how will he be able to do so in a FOREIGN COUNTRY?

United States Secretary of State Thomas F Bayard.
