Not making up anything. I'm taking John Jay at his word. John Jay's letter is the origination of the 'natural born citizen' clause in the Constitution. It precludes foreigners from eligibility. Obama was born a foreign citizen.

John Jay's letters don't have any precedential value, and, as has been explained to you ad nauseam, things have changed quite a bit since his time, legally speaking.
You and the other Birfers are flogging a greasy spot that once held the remains of a horse.

The Constitution's natural born citizen requirement has not changed at all since Jay's time. There have been no amendments changing that requirement.
Again, review Minor v. Happersett for the SCOTUS determination of natural born citizen. It takes 2 US citizen parents. Obama had only one.
