Thanks for this post. It should be clear to readers what the intent of the Founders was: the Presidency was for only those who were citizens at our nation’s founding, and the children of these citizens thereafter.
Precisely. We just need to keep making the point, and educating everyone we have to, about this, until it finally sinks in.
The Framers inserted citizenship requirements into the Constitution for other federal offices, but the presidency is the ONLY office which requires one to be a Natural Born Citizen. This, too, is an important point to make when discussing the NBC issue.
