You finally admit that Bayard is incorrect:

"From a LEGAL point of view, though, [Bayard] may not be correct."

You're not following the details of that conversation very well, Ray.

Which may be my fault, a bit. I should've been more explicit as to exactly whom I was referring to.

I wasn't referring to JAMES Bayard. There is no real evidence to contradict his statement that "citizen by birth" is all that is required for a person to be a natural born citizen and eligible to be President.

I was referring to SECRETARY OF STATE THOMAS Bayard, his son, who many decades later said that Robert Greisser was not a United States citizen, though born on US soil to a NON-RESIDENT German father.

I said that I certainly understood THOMAS Bayard's (anti-birth-tourism) position from a POLICY point of view.

But if you look at the LEGAL PRECEDENT (whether you like that legal precedent or not), THOMAS Bayard may have been incorrect in his declaration that Mr. Greisser was not a US citizen.

I hope that clarifies the statement.
