George the 1 st of England was not an Englishman. He was a German. The reason he became king was that he was not a Catholic and was selected because he was on the royal line. At all costs, the Church of England had to be preserved because of all the fighting that had taken place between the English citizens over the religious issue.

George was not enjoying a good relation with the public, however. Maybe it was because of his language and culture, or because he did not have a political olagarchy to support him in England. At any rate, it finally gave Parliament the free reign it needed to pass laws. At that time a law was passed that stated one had to be a natural citizen to hold office in England.

By the time our Constitution was written, the concept was firmly established and became the law of our land.
