Yes, I am arrogant when I know I am dealing with a racist asshole who does not want a "mulatto" in his Senate, much less the White House.
The Founding Fathers (not "forefathers") were overruled by the 14th Amendment. Read it learn, it, love it, embrace it.
We see your motivations.
Let's see how well you know your history, or can Google.
Why did Alexander Hamilton never serve as President or Vice President? He was Washington's right hand man.
Your arrogance is only proceeded by your lack of intellect. Please call me a racist again, from you it is a badge of victory!
Oh....
During the Philadelphia Convention, John Jay wrote a letter to George Washington to expound upon this:
“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 expresly that the Command in chief of the american army shall not be given to, nor devolve on, any but a natural
born Citizen.”[emphasis added]
The Philadelphia Convention Committee on Detail originally drafted a proposal that the President must be merely a resident and citizen for 21 years, but the committee purposefully changed “citizen” to “natural born citizen” without a written record explaining the change.
Many insist that “natural born citizen,” as it is used in the Constitution as a prerequisite for the office of the presidency, meant that the person was born to people who were born within the country to citizen parents. Commonly, their chief basis for this explanation is Emmerich de Vattel’s
The Law of Nations. In an English translation of the work, the term was defined this way:
“The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens.”
