So he was a native born citizen of the United States? Is that what you're claiming.

Actually the way it worked is that Mr. Jefferson was a native-born citizen of Virginia. Virginia was one of the united states and so he was also considered a native-born citizen of the United States. He certainly was never naturalized.

Regarding Rathergate and your other blather, non-experts were able to determine from images of the fake memo that it was indeed fake. Some "experts" played with themselves for a while, or they are still playing with themselves, suggesting that they cannot tell about the authenticity of the memo without holding it themselves. I would guess that 99.99%+ of such "experts" voted for John Kerry.

Then why the need for the "...or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution..." clause in Article II, Section 1?

Regarding Rathergate and your other blather, non-experts were able to determine from images of the fake memo that it was indeed fake.

Of course they were. I'll also point out that two-thirds of the experts who actually saw the original documents were unwilling to say for the record if they were genuine. CBS ran the story anyway.

I would guess that 99.99%+ of such "experts" voted for John Kerry.

Of course you do.
