I am going to be on the air in about two hours (After the Fish Report) with The Aloha Friday Program at
KFSK Petersburg Alaska Community Radio
A little Hawaiian slack key guitar should be just right for Festival. I hope to be back in time for the new thread.
THANKS, pookie18
They do good work, for sure. I have donated. I wish Tom would buy shirts that fit, though.
He doesn't realize that shirts 2 sizes under just look stupid.
Testifying.
Not if you have tinder account...
I guess everyone needs snu-snu occasionally.
Ooh, testifying. I’ll try to find it, where is he doing it?
Agree 100%.

Since we’re in Festival and won’t be bothering anyone with this slide, I figured I’d chime in here.
Walt, you quoted a couple statutes in your post, notably “Act of May 24, 1934, Pub. L. No. 73-250, 48 Stat. 797.”
If you have to have a law that says you’re a “natural born” citizen, you’re not. NBC’s don’t need any laws. They can’t be anything other than a citizen of where they are born, if both their parents (Naturalized or Natural Born) are citizens of that country also. (As an aside, when the country was founded, since the wife took the citizenship of the husband, I would be open to discussions of having just the father required to be a US citizen. The Cable Act in 1922 gave the wife her own citizenship).
Anything other than this combination - soil and parents - gives rise to multiple citizenship - which invites intrigue - something the founders were trying to avoid.
The writers of the Constitution were pretty smart people, who said what they meant and meant what they said. They said “natural born” which means soil and parents based on the meaning of the time. Writing a law does not change the definition. (Cool used to mean lower temperature, not hip which used to mean a part of your body, or neat - which used to mean not messy - see where I’m going with this?)
Same with the 2nd Amendment. “shall not be infringed” means just that - no infringement. No restrictions. No if, but. The fact that we no longer rely on the militia to do our battles at home or overseas does not change the meaning of the word.
The constitution was written for people of average intelligence, not lawyers. If you want to change the meaning of the words in the Constitution, the process to do that is called an amendment.
The quotes from CRS, FAS, even the supreme court are from organizations with an agenda. They do not have the best interests of the united States in mind or heart. If they did, they would take the most restrictive interpretation of requirements for the highest office in the land. I included the supreme court in there because they can be wrong and often are, i.e. Dredd Scott, Kelo v New London.
Once you start down the road of letting this person or that person become “qualified” because of whatever reason, then the meaning of “natural born” is, well, meaningless. And then you have a living, breathing constitution. Is that what you’re looking for?
I’m looking for a solid source that documents Soros evil - any ideas?
Wasn't me.
They are still around, post purge, and would likely still defend Cruz.
Cubanadians® can't be President.
Beautiful Ted for Chief Justice!

Thank you. There has been no SCOTUS decision on “what is a NBC” but it would be good if there was. With majority originalists on the bench I know what their decision would be. Maybe wait until RedBlueGreen is replaced. Until a generation or two ago, kids in civics classes in school, state department literature, and kids on US bases were taught that NBC means “born on the soil to parentS who are citizens”. It was the commonly understood and non-mysterious definition. More recently that definition has been removed from State Dept info...hmm...
Interestingly, a couple of years before 0hola ran for pres, an effort was made to remove the NBC requirement for president (by Demsheviks of course, no doubt preparing the way for their god) but it failed. My feeble brain doesn’t remember any more details about it and time prevents me from searching right now.
I like these parts in particular.

Personally, >I< prefer strict Constitutional interpretation as written.
However, I think it’s fair to say, The Constitution was not emphatically exactly precise on the issue of soil vs jurisdiction.
What about someone born in an embassy overseas?
I just found the issue somewhat interesting. And as I had that notion logged in my noggin, I wanted to find out if it was true, or not.
Evidently it IS true that the Supreme Court has indicated that Congress can declare the definitions & criteria of Natural Born Citizen.
We can fuss but that seems to be reality. Maybe when Trump & GOP take both houses etc. we can put a more emphatic amendment in place.
On the other hand, there may be more important fish to fry—though I think Natural Soil Born Citizenship for President is important.
Though we all know that does NOT guarantee a non-traitor will get in office.

The Supreme Court defined it in the 1800s.
Exploring the common-law origins of citizenship, the court observed that "new citizens may be born or they may be created by naturalization" and that the Constitution "does not, in words, say who shall be natural-born citizens."
Under the common law, according to the court;
"it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives, or natural-born citizens"
(as distinguished from aliens or foreigners)
- Chief Justice Morrison Waite 1875.
