didnt the founding fathers exempt themselves because they did not meet the nbc requirement?
The constitution says natural born citizen or living in the country when the constitution was adopted. So, if you can find someone who was born in England, brought to the colonies by their parents when young, and still alive at 260 or so, that person would be eligible.
They did actually, there is a specific exemption in the Constitution for people in the founding fathers’ situation.

I see... They were all born in a British colony, none of them qualified with that logic. Is that from the Federalist papers?
