[s-d] Imagine if B's strict interpretation of the Rules were applied to the US Constitution...


'The Constitution clearly 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 ..."

According to my reading of the wording, this means that no-one who was not a Citizen of the USA, natural born or otherwise, /on September 17, 1787/ is eligible for the Presidency.'
