“As one Justice of the Supreme pointed out during an oral argument, the Founding Fathers actually said the President had to be natural born AT THE TIME of the adoption of the Constitution.”

Better read the Constitution again honey pie, because it exempted current citizens whose parents could not have been citizens prior to the existence of the USA! Are you having a brain fart or something??

You better read it again and LISTEN to the oral arguments in Nguyen. The way the Constitution is WORDED..taken literally as WRITTEN, it meant AT THE TIME of the adoption of the Constitution. Scholars know this. That is why the Justice said it...he was making an observation.

Maybe if you pay attention to the Supreme Court you will learn something.

Commas make a difference.

And as noted during that oral argument - there is a DEBATE about the meaning of the words Natural Born Citizen - ergo NOT SETTLED IN LAW.
