Was it a joke to John Jay? To George Washington? Hamilton, Madison?
Jay and Hamilton went on to elect Washington, Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe who all lacked two citizen parents. Hamilton had a French and a British parent who were married, but not to each other.
Justice Thomas was not speaking untruthfully.
Justice Thomas cracked a joke. The crowd laughed. Your attempt to make something of an obvious joke is as pathetic as "utterly frivolous" filing in court.
Washington, Jefferson, Madison, and Hamilton for that matter, were all otherwise eligible so did not need to be NBCs.
Yet they specified NBCs going forward.
For you to argue about apparently.
Monroe too.
All otherwise eligible hence their candidacies and presidencies do not have anything to do with the NBC clause.
Did you not know that?
Hamilton was a bastard brat of a scotch peddlar.
