Ahh i remember another of his quotes. "Hey, slaves, back to work." So ya know, might not be best to look 200 years ago to govern the NOW. You'll never see the future that way.
"Permit me to hint, whether it would not be wise & seasonable to provide a strong check to the admission of Foreigners into the administration of our national Government;; and to declare expresly that the Command in chief of the american army shall not be given to, nor devolve on, any but a natural born Citizen"--John Jay, Founding Father; (A "Natural Born Citizen" is a child of 2 U.S. Citizens--"Law of Nations", Book 1,Sec. 212)
