Not much of a Constitutional scholar if he doesn’t get that the reason the founders put the natural born citizen clause in there was to prevent anyone with foreign nationality from being President.

John Jay’s letter to George Washington makes that eminently clear.

John Jay authored one of the Federalist Papers, Federalist #2. It's the only one that he wrote and it's guaranteed to make Woke heads explode in rage.

In fact it probably will offend all currently elected Democrats and all "diversity is our strength" Republicans.

With equal pleasure I have as often taken notice that Providence has been pleased to give this one connected country to one united people--a people descended from the same ancestors, speaking the same language, professing the same religion, attached to the same principles of government, very similar in their manners and customs, and who, by their joint counsels, arms, and efforts, fighting side by side throughout a long and bloody war, have nobly established general liberty and independence.

This country and this people seem to have been made for each other, and it appears as if it was the design of Providence, that an inheritance so proper and convenient for a band of brethren, united to each other by the strongest ties, should never be split into a number of unsocial, jealous, and alien sovereignties.
