Musing of one wondering-if New Haven is in Connecticut, where is Haven (or Old Haven)?

Apropos of my remark of the requirement that the president be a natural born citizen, my son offered an obvious approach-why not call an attorney and find out? So I called an attorney friend of ours. He didn't know either but volunteered to do some research. It turns out that the requirement originated in a letter from John Jay to George Washington, expressing a fear that without some kind of restriction a member of some foreign peerage might come to the United States, get himself elected, and turn us back into a kingdom. Washington turned it over to the committee that was drafting the Constitution. Apparently, it was adopted without much, if any, debate, because our friend could find no record of discussions of it. Jay's letter could be the origin of the 14 year residents requirement but we didn't look into this. That's our history lesson for the day. Unfortunately, Mr. Jay could not anticipate the creeping socialism which has plagued the United States for the last 70 or 80 years.
