That’s exactly what I’m saying. The founders were “interested” in the birthplace of the President, and not in the birthplace of his parents. “Natural born” citizens were those born within the country.

The Founders were interested in undivided allegiance. And when the 14th was passed -- divided allegiance came up again. See post 373.

OK- We disagree.

I believe that the founders cared enormously about whether a presidential candidates’ parents had foreign citizenship. I also believe that the SCOTUS will see a need to define clearly the meaning and intent of eligibility, as disputed, and will allow a review.
