To: Danae; MD Expat in PA
I want to vote for the man! I cannot do that if he isn’t a Natural Born Citizen!

You are staking the utterly absurd position that the administrative and bureaucratic process to finalize his citizenship matters more than the oath Aldo Santorum took and his service to this country that made him automatically eligible, by U.S. Code and long-standing tradition, to be a citizen in the first place.

What if a bureacratic snarl had tied up finalizing Aldo's citizenship to a time after Rick Santorum's birth, as what happened with MD Expat in PA's father? Would that matter more to you than the fact that Aldo served? Do you want to declare MD Expat in PA ineligible to seek the presidency, using your own absurdly stringent definition of an NBC?

Apparently so. Good ideas can be taken to the point of irrelevance and then absurdity if you refuse to factor in other points of view. You have clearly gone well past irrelevance and into abject absurdity.
