That is spew. It doesn't matter what this soil was called, they were born here .
Clearly it mattered as there would have been no other reason to include that clause.

Article 2, section 1 of the Constitution states, "No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of president; neither shall any person be eligible who shall not attained to the age of thirty-five years, and been fourteen years a resident within the United States." The pertinent part is underlined. The Founders wrote themselves a "grandfather clause" so that they would be eligible to run for President since their parents were foreign born. Otherwise the clause would be redundant. They did not want men of divided loayalties serving.

You are a noob trolling Obama birth certificate threads. Are you a troll or a retread?
