“It is an established maxim that birth is a criterion of allegiance. Birth however derives its force sometimes from place and sometimes from parentage, but in general place is the most certain criterion; it is what applies in the United States; it will therefore be unnecessary to investigate any other.”— Congressman James Madison, House of Representatives, May 22, 1789

I'm sticking with the founder's intent for the more stringent qualifying criteria established- to hold the office of President and Vice President, not the position of a common citizen / resident. You?

It would take me some time but eventually I could put every poster on this thread into one of two categories... the Fogbows, and the Continentals.
