So the constitution "says so," even though it actually doesn't.
Sorry, this "natural born" charade is still just a bunch of folks grasping at straws. They're hoping to find a magic way to remove Obama that doesn't involve actual work.
X because vattel says so....
moon landings fake because vattel says so...
earth a cube becaus vattel says so...
all laws signed by FDR invalid because vattel says so...
and on and on and on...
Voting is too much work for some people.
Since the rule of law is being completely ignored by this nation’s Armed Forces CIC and top law enforcement officer, voting is pretty much a waste of time as well.
Why do you call it a charade?
It’s quite clear, if you do the work, what the founders did and why.
Of course the founders were very smart and todays citizens are too lazy to seek the truth, and too often let the courts have the final say.
I believe nbc is so obvious the google even pulled references to nbc.

[I] find no fault with the introductory clause [S 61 Bill], which is simply declaratory of what is written in the Constitution, that every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is, in the language of your Constitution itself, a natural born citizen. -- Rep. John Bingham (author of the 14th Amendment) 1866
many words and phrases used in the Constitution are not defined in the document itself, as they were in common use.
“natural born citizen” being one of them
tens of millions of US citizens have demanded the eligibility issue be addressed properly... which started 6 months or more before zer0 was in office. instead it’s being ignored and swept under the carpet.
if we’re ignoring the Constitution then we should ignore it.
including amendment 16
The cynic in me thinks that maybe, just maybe, Obama’s own supporters might ultimately use “eligibility” as the reason to get rid of him when the democrat party faces total collapse. As a group they are very practical when it comes to their survival.
Yes they are grasping at straws, but that doesn’t change the fact that he is ineligible.
Somehow your opinion does not carry the same weight as that of Chief Justice John Marshall, Justice Livingston and Justice Joseph Story not to mention St. George Tucker, Daniel Ramsay and a host of others close to the event, as you are not? Do you really think that your opinioo has greater authority than theirs or do you just get rewarded for ignoratn attacks?
To a good degree, I think you've hit the nail on the head.
