Chief Justice Waite, Minor vs Happersett
The Constitution does not, in words, say who shall be natural-born citizens. Resort must be had elsewhere to ascertain that. At common-law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, 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. Some authorities go further and include as citizens children born within the jurisdiction without reference to the citizenship of their parents. As to this class there have been doubts, but never as to the first. For the purposes of this case it is not necessary to solve these doubts. It is sufficient for everything we have now to consider that all children born of citizen parents within the jurisdiction are themselves citizens.
Glad to hear that McLame and Linda are on our side.
Yup. Trump made those two jerks an offer they couldn’t refuse. You don’t become a billionaire commercial real estate developer and international business tycoon by being a pansy. Besides, I think Trump has “pictures” on those two.
Those elected in federal elections cannot be recalled, Senators and Representatives.
It serves our Fine Country well when we reward good votes.
Maybe but Murkowski needs to go too. I still don’t trust the way she got in. A write in candidate beats both on the ballot people? Really?
Juan, we scarcely knew ye.
Thanks, that explains a lot actually.
They got the word its time to fall in line.
Getting to stay out of prison and suddenly deciding to retire gracefully by not running for reelection.?
So..., much..., WINNING!
NeverTrump?
Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha... ha ha ha ha ha ha ha...
Bwa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha...
“Senators McCain, Graham to support Tillerson nomination”
“blah, blah, blah ... after much soul-searching and consideration ... blah, blah, blah ... we’ll do what all other loyal Republican Senators are doing without all of our whining and kvetching and vote to confirm the officials the leader of our Party and our country asked us for ...”
“What was the pay off?”
probably McCain’s involvement with the fake news dossier, plus the two of them having supported “rebels” who were infact joined at the hip with ISIS.
“Linda & McStain are Pizza Pals.”
very possible that they like to “party”.
God save us and the children.
If Murkowski votes against him, we can get rid of that corrupt RINO soon.
Tillerson may surprise people. He probably impressed DJT with his toughness and smooth deal making skills. He’s an unconventional choice. I like that!
Good. I imagine something about the last couple day’s events got their minds right.
Mighty big of them.[/sarc]
“Neither of his parents was a U.S. citizen at the time of Rubio’s birth,[6] but his parents applied for U.S. citizenship and were naturalized in 1975.[5]”

So, you believe the last word is that all people born of non-US citizens on US soil are, and always will be, “natural-born citizens?” Especially when they are also citizens of Cuba, first?
