Whatever. Other learned people disagree. I agree with those that say he is not qualified.

I’m not going to post dueling links with you either. Just know that there are knowledgeable people who believe he’s eligible.

I went to your link and looked up something she said. It didn't apply and was taken out of context. She also cut the quote short. I underlined what she used.

James Madison, House of Representatives

This is about "Mr. Smith" and whether he should be seated in the House.

It were to be wished, that we had some law adduced more precisely defining the qualities of a citizen or an alien; particular laws of this kind, have obtained in some of the states; if such a law existed in South-Carolina, it might have prevented this question from ever coming before us; but since this has not been the case, let us settle some general principles before we proceed to the presumptive proof arising from public measures under the law, which tend to give support to the inference drawn from such principles.

It is an established maxim that birth is a criterion of allegiance. Birth however derives its force sometimes from place and sometimes from parentage, but in general place is the most certain criterion; it is what applies in the United States; it will therefore be unnecessary to investigate any other. Mr. Smith founds his claim upon his birthright; his ancestors were among the first settlers of that colony.
