Simple logic tells you why they included the words “Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution.” Without that they would of had to wait until John Tyler to have an eligible President, whose grandsons are still alive by the way.

Why then.....did John Jay write these words to George Washington?

Permit me to hint whether it would not be wise and seasonable to provide a strong check to the admission of Foreigners into the administration of our national Government, and to declare expressly that the Command in chief of the American army shall not be given to, nor devolve on, any but a natural born Citizen.

I just got home from a wedding and I missed out on a great conversation. Just wanted you and Godebart to know that you guys are the best, and even though you tried your best, I don’t think you got through to them. They are still waiting for God (Rush) to tell them what to believe. Not that I don’t have the utmost respect for Rush... I do... I just believe he has received orders not to go “there”... for his own good... if you know what I mean.
