"Since many of the founding fathers may not have actually been born from citizen parents and since several of them were elected as president after the founding documents were created it is apparent that the tells concept of a natural born citizen was not foremost and their mind."

The delegates to the Constitutional Convention made the Constitution’s Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 partly to allow themselves and others to run for president regardless if their parents were British subjects for example.

"Article II, Section 1, Clause 5: No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution [emphasis added], shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States."

To: Amendment10

Your beating of a long Dead Horse means nothing.

Since Obama was inaugurated twice and John McCain was the pubbie candidate who also was not a “natural born citizen”.

It no longer is being implemented. That goes for pretty much the whole constitution.

Your birther inspired Vattel doctrine is a complete non starter for the nation any longer. Both parties destroyed it.

Please take it up with somebody else cause I don’t care at all anymore. We just need to defeat Biden and Harris at the polls. Period.
