I generally ignore your "Wall of Text" but this part caught my eye.

Lysander Spooner, The Unconstitutionality of Slavery, pg. 119 (1845)

“Every person, then, born in the country, and that shall have attained the age of thirty-five years, and been fourteen years a resident within the United States, is eligible to the office of president.”

Once again, every person born in the country. No mention of parents.

Or Diplomats.

Okay. So Lysander Spooner (who by the way is probably the weakest authority in the entire list of at least 30 quotes, I debated about even leaving him in, but hey, he's still better than most of the crap you post) left out the extremely small exception of children of diplomats.

How many children do you think were born to foreign diplomats in 1845?

I notice you don't have much else to say.

Look, I'm going to be frank here. Any unbiased person who's followed the conversation for very long has already concluded that the vast weight of evidence is against you, and that you have virtually nothing to say about any of the legitimate evidence from our legitimate early authorities. About all you can do is nitpick about the fact that Lysander Spooner didn't mention the small exception of children of diplomats.

I must admit I'm pretty mystified by you. Do you enjoy appearing an idiot? Why do you keep spinning endless BS? Surely you can't actually believe the crap you post. Surely you can't be that fundamentally dishonest, or that delusional.

I find it very difficult to believe you've actually talked yourself into believing this crap. You've seen the evidence. You know that your claim doesn't have a leg to stand on. Not really. You can hardly make a case without twisting somebody's words, and ignoring all of the straightforward, untwisted evidence.

And every time you argue it, you look like an idiot.

I'm just trying to figure out why you keep posting this BS.
