“You could NOT be more WRONG if you tried ! “
No. I am right. The “rules at that time” were rules regarding naturalization and rules do NOT amend the Constitutional requirements to become president. Amending the Constitution requires an act of Congress and ratification by three-fourths of the states. There is no amendment in the Constitution abrogating the “natural born” requirement for the presidency. It has never been changed.
Let me ask you; why was it, before this ever came up, that untold millions of us were taught in American history that the “natural born citizen” requirement meant that both parents of the candidate had to be citizens of the United States?
