I tend to agree with that point, but that is something that would have to be decided by the Supreme Court — and as you may have noticed, they are very reluctant to touch that issue.
Well, the Supreme Court may have the final word, but the notion that they are the only people on the planet allowed to form conclusions about what is Constitutional and what is not is part of what has gotten us to this point.
The Constitution is capable of being read and understood by anyone with a reasonable high school education. There are a number of good texts that do a reasonable job of explaining what some of the phrases and constructions were intended to mean by the Founders.
Congress and the President especially are charged with following the Constitution, and with protecting and defending it. How can they do that if they don’t know or care what it means? Or worse, when they conclude that they can do whatever the hell they want, and it is up to the Supreme Court to call them out if they get it wrong?
This guy is not Constitutionally qualified to be President - he is not a Natural Born Citizen, and I don’t need the Supreme Court to tell me so. A person would have to be poorly educated, completely apolitical and apathetic, or intentionally deaf dumb and blind not to know this as a fact.
It disgusts me to see all this attention placed on the “birth certificate” when the really relevant fact is in everyone’s face like a persistent salesman. His father was NOT a citizen. Hell, he wasn’t even a resident. He was just here on a student visa. It takes two citizen parents to make an NBC.
On the subject of student visas, has anyone ever found out Barry’s status at Occidental, and why at that time of his life he was using a 999 social - a kind of dummy number issued to foreign students studying in the USA?
