AGAIN, if you take it LITERALLY, as has been noted by a Justice on the Supreme Court the sentence reads that you must have been natural born at the time of the adoption of the Constitution

And AGAIN - commas are everything. A misplaced comma can cost you millions or do you other irreparable harm.

Get a clue because you don’t seem to have one. If you are going to go around espousing legal defintions that you had better understand the relevance of commas.

The founders certainly were not stupid, were very careful in their wording and certainly intended that the Constitution was to be taken literally. In that regard, if they had intended that mere citizens were also eligible, there was no need to mention “natural born Citizen” nor the phrase “at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution”.

Their intent is clear, NBC is the standard, except at the start! Take your commas and shove them, it’s not productive to even attempt to continue a reasonable conversation with you! Adios!!
