Could you elaborate on Madison’s opinion of a natural born citizen is?
I cannot because I don’t know it.
There is no information as to why they changed it in the 1795 Act. Charles Gordon came up with some theories in his Law Review Article in 1968.
There were still Founding Fathers in Congress in 1795. But I view Madison as THE Founding Father.
Personally, I think he took it out because he knew they made a mistake. I do believe the fact that it was taken out is germane and can’t figure out why people just ignore that it was taken out.
But that is just my opinion worth absolutely nothing.
