“George Washington was concerned about just that, seeing as how he took the advice of John Jay upon the matter.”

Well, he didn’t stop it, so poor him.

“Permit me to hint whether it would not be wise and seasonable to provide a strong check to the admission of foreigners into the administration of our national government; and to declare expressly that the commander in chief of the American army shall not be given to, nor devolve on any but a natural born citizen.”

This demonstrates nothing. Soil babies aren’t foreigners.

I would hope that you've come to understand by now, that the sweeping generalization you've just made is not even completely true under the liberal interpretation that you're touting.

So, you're wrong no matter who you ask. Some "soil babies" are foreigners.
