Those are all part of the claim not evidence.

I almost missed this tidbit.

No, those discussions are not part of the claim -- they are evidence -- and here's why: those discussions related to his status as the nation's first President. Let me know when you find evidence that the reality of your deity is so incontrovertible that people voted him into office. Maybe you should write in "Jesus Christ" on your next ballot?

What's that? You don't think he'd be around to govern?
