NBC equals Natural Born Citizen and Article II states that the president needs to be a “Natural Born Citizen”, or someone living in these United States currently. That qualifier exempts Jefferson et al. because they didn’t have parent who were citizens, since the country didn’t exist prior to the revolution or their parents were English. But it clearly shows that they wanted a person whose parents were born here and they recognised the need to exempt the current generation from that requirement.
Right, article II clause 5 is the NBC requirement. Where is the exemption? Thanks
