Constitutional eligibility to be leader of this nation should be priority one. Don’t you agree with this letter to George Washington from the First Supreme Court Justice, John Jay, when framing the Presidential Eligibility clause?

To George Washington from John Jay, 25 July 1787

From John Jay
New York 25 July 1787

Dear Sir

I was this morning honored with your Excellency’s Favor of the 22d Inst: & immediately delivered the Letter it enclosed to Commodore Jones, who being detained by Business, did not go in the french Packet, which sailed Yesterday.

Permit me to hint, whether it would not be wise & seasonable to provide a strong check to the admission of Foreigners into the administration of our national Government, and to declare expressly that the Command in chief of the american army shall not be given to, nor devolved on, any but a natural born Citizen.

Mrs Jay is obliged by your attention, and assures You of her perfect Esteem & Regard—with similar Sentiments the most cordial and sincere I remain Dear Sir Your faithful Friend & Servt

John Jay

No, I do not agree. His personal opinions means squat. Many Framers were of the personal opinions - and even wrote it to the Constitution that slaves should be counted as 3/5 of a person.

The Framers screwed the pooch on NBC.
