Trey is one of THEM!

it is a disappointment to see Goudy flip over the bribery side of the NWO. Everyone needs to be informed of this and elect Donald Trump. He may not be the best man alive to fill the position but he is the lessor of 15 evils, and he is a Patriot who loves his country. I think we need to hear from these politicians that it is the United Nations who is our enemy even more than ISIS or ISIL.

We have been through this ad nauseum over Obama.

The definition of Natural Born Citizen was re-defined by an illegal Senate resolution in 2008. Its over and things are not going to change back. Not unless the Supreme Court decides to take up the issue and they don’t want to touch it with a 10 ft pole.

[Calpublican]

Isn’t this dude supposed to be an attorney. Clearly does not
understand the law. No wonder hearings have gone nowhere.

Trey is one of THEM!

Maybe he is and maybe he isn't, but, performance-wise, he is NOT what he was initially thought to be.

Whatever he brought with him to DC was quickly nullified and he became little more than a side show pony to coddle and amuse the angry masses.

And the beat goes on...

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, That any Alien being a free white person, who shall have resided within the limits and under the jurisdiction of the United States for the term of two years, may be admitted to become a citizen thereof on application to any common law Court of record in any one of the States wherein he shall have resided for the term of one year at least, and making proof to the satisfaction of such Court that he is a person of good character, and taking the oath or affirmation prescribed by law to support the Constitution of the United States, which Oath or Affirmation such Court shall administer, and the Clerk of such Court shall record such Application, and the proceedings thereon; and thereupon such person shall be considered as a Citizen of the United States. And the children of such person so naturalized, dwelling within the United States, being under the age of twenty one years at the time of such naturalization, shall also be considered as citizens of the United States. And the children of citizens of the United States that may be born beyond Sea, or out of the limits of the United States, shall be considered as natural born Citizens: Provided, that the right of citizenship shall not descend to persons whose fathers have never been resident in the United States: Provided also, that no person heretofore proscribed by any States, shall be admitted a citizen as aforesaid, except by an Act of the Legislature of the State in which such person was proscribed.

That doesn't necessarily support the idea of a distinction between "citizens" and "natural born citizens" -- just the idea of a distinction between born citizens and naturalized citizens.

Also, what's with the "free white" thing?

[Hetty_Fauxvert]

A badly written article, and a stupid one.

Rubio isn’t my choice, and he’s a 14th Amendment baby, but by the laws as we currently observe them, he’s eligible to run. Bark up a different tree.

[xzins]

Rubio was born in America to at least one US citizen.

Legally, the anchor baby law says he was a citizen at birth.

Second, I’m pretty sure his mother had already naturalized by the time of his birth, so he is also a citizen at birth by the fact that one parent was a US citizen.

In the case of Bobby Jindal, he was born here, but neither parent at the time intended other than being on a student visa from their home country.

[MamaTexan]

Notice they also understood that men like John McCain (though he is a traitor to his country) would be a natural born citizen, even if he were born outside US soil in Panama. Why? Because his parents were both citizens!

Actually, it isn't JUST because they were both citizens, it was because McCain's father was serving in the military, and military members stationed overseas are 'in service' to the country just as ambassadors or diplomats are.

Vattel, Law of Nations, § 217. Children born in the armies of the state.
For the same reasons also, children born out of the country, in the armies of the state, or in the house of its minister at a foreign court, are reputed born in the country; for a citizen who is absent with his family, on the service of the state, but still dependent on it, and subject to its jurisdiction, cannot be considered as having quitted its territory.

It's not surprising Gowdy is pushing Rubio as a NBC, either. The Republicans are making bigger mockery of the Constitution's NBC provison as the Democrats have.

[apocalypto]

Yes, T. Gowdy is one of THEM. And M. Rubio is not a natural born citizen. He has done nothing to convince me that he is capable of handling the highest office in the land.

[entropy12]

Trump is by far the strongest on how to re-negotiate the Trillion dollar foreign trade deficits EVERY YEAR. That is the prime reason better wage jobs have gone away for the vast middle class.
