INTRODUCTION
After reading this tabletalk style conversation about eligibility to be president as John Jay may have clarified his reason for underlining the word ‘born’ in “natural born Citizen” in his note to his friend George Washington, you will notice, if you read the debates in A Century of Lawmaking For a New Nation: U. S. Congressional Documents and Debates (see 1865 - 1870 Civil War Reconstruction Debates) with selected portions of the debates for the 1866 civil rights act and the debates about the three constitution amendments (1865 13th, 1868 14th, 1870 15th), you will notice in the four debates that Article II Section 1 clause 5 and the term of art “natural born Citizen” are mentioned in passing and not discussed as a debate topic. Apparently the reconstruction era Senators and Representatives in the 1800s (1865 – 1870) knew what “except” and “or” and “natural born” and “Citizen” meant in 1787, and that “or” applied only until the last “...or a Citizen of...” died sometime in the 1800s. What ‘except’ and ‘or’ still mean in the 2000s will become clear as we consider the original genesis and original intent reason John Jay underlined the word ‘born’ in “natural born Citizen” in his ‘hint’ to George Washington. See the “hint” jpg picture below.
