Sharyl Attkisson's Full Measure 1. New evidence that a rescue mission to save the U.S. Ambassador in Benghazi was ready to go… only to be told to stand down. 2. The President vows to take action on gun control. Do his 'actions' really have teeth? 3. Prime time politics. A look at the debates and whether the circus atmosphere is demeaning.
You just don’t understand. You’re jumping to conclusions.
The woman visiting Bill Clinton when Hillary leaves is a member of “Visiting Angles.” Bill needs extra help just living and these care givers are his lifeline to a sane and stable existence.
Larri, Larri?
I think the only question that matters with Hillary is how she affects a zero’s legacy. nothing else matters.
That's a bit of a rhetorical minefield, but most people (and the natural take) is that "natural born" and "naturalized" are mutually exclusive. The arguments center around what it takes to be considered "naturalized." Most people take that as having to go through a proceeding of some sort, and if a person doesn't go through the proceeding, they aren't naturalized. The next step in chain of logic is that if they didn't go through a naturalization process, and they were a citizen at birth (and here the analyst skips the question of "citizen by statute" or "citizen even if there was no statute"), then they are a natural born citizen.
-- a person who must go through the naturalization process can not be natural born. --
I think everybody would agree with that.
Exactly everybody overlooked Bubba’s rapes and abuses of women for years and years and years.
The big question is will they keep overlooking it now that it’s Hillary on the line instead of him?
Well....he's wrong....Twice.
And Obama may not even be a citizen.
I'm betting her medical records are a bigger problem for Hillary than her potential legal issues. Lawyers can bluff their way past the election about the emails, but if anything comes out to indicate that Hillary is suffering from post-concussion problems, or that she is on Cumadin or Warfarin, that can't get lawyered away long enough to get her through the election.
Then maybe it’s show time!
I’m gonna wait for this election to play out before I advocate or do anything.
Thanks so much for the link for sharyl.
I have researched Benghazi as much as anyone.
The best information I had on where zero was during the fighting at benghazi was that Valerie Jarrett had brought in a 10 year old Kenyan using a white van to entertain 0 for about a two or three hours time. And zero was blitzed out of his mind that’s what I got out of what I looked up. Others may have other information that I don’t have but that’s what I got.
Wow! So that explains Obama!
Here's hoping everybody remembers that McCain is the ultimate open borders aho and that Rubio was fully on board with McCain, Chuckie Shumer etc.
Did you read post # 3 yet?
True.
Fr has a thread today on that topic on how she told aides to stop classifying emails as secret or top secret and run them as regular emails which is patently illegal and carries a 10-year jail sentence.
It is derivative citizenship and not every US citzen mother can transmit citizenship to her child. There are statues that define the conditions where it obtains. And the statutes have now been revised to allow fathers to transmit citizenship.
Acquisition of U.S. Citizenship by a Child Born Abroad
Birth Abroad to Two U.S. Citizen Parents in Wedlock
A child born abroad to two U.S. citizen parents acquires U.S. citizenship at birth under section 301(c) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) provided that one of the parents had a residence in the United States or one of its outlying possessions prior to the child’s birth. The child is considered to be born in wedlock for the purposes of citizenship acquisition when the genetic and/or gestational parents are legally married to each other at the time of the child’s birth and both parents are the legal parents of the child under local law at the time and place of birth.
Birth Abroad to One Citizen and One Alien Parent in Wedlock
A child born abroad to one U.S. citizen parent and one alien parent acquires U.S. citizenship at birth under Section 301(g) of the INA provided the U.S. citizen parent was physically present in the United States or one of its outlying possessions for the time period required by the law applicable at the time of the child's birth. (For birth on or after November 14, 1986, a period of five years physical presence, two after the age of fourteen, is required. For birth between December 24, 1952 and November 13, 1986, a period of ten years, five after the age of fourteen, is required for physical presence in the United States or one of its outlying possessions to transmit U.S. citizenship to the child.) The U.S. citizen parent must be the genetic or the gestational parent and the legal parent of the child under local law at the time and place of the child’s birth to transmit U.S. citizenship.
Birth Abroad Out-of-Wedlock to a U.S. Citizen Father – “New†Section 309(a)
A person born abroad out-of-wedlock to a U.S. citizen father may acquire U.S. citizenship under Section 301(g) of the INA, as made applicable by the “new†Section 309(a) of the INA provided:
A blood relationship between the person and the father is established by clear and convincing evidence;
The father had the nationality of the United States at the time of the person’s birth;
The father was physically present in the United States or its outlying possessions prior to the child’s birth for five years, at least two of which were after reaching the age of 14.
The father (unless deceased) has agreed in writing to provide financial support for the person until the person reaches the age of 18 years, and
While the person is under the age of 18 years --
the person is legitimated under the law of his/her residence or domicile,
the father acknowledges paternity of the person in writing under oath, or
the paternity of the person is established by adjudication of a competent court.
Birth Abroad Out-of-Wedlock to a U.S. Citizen Father –
“Old†Section 309(a) of the INA- A child born out-of-wedlock to a U.S. citizen father may acquire U.S. citizenship under the former Section 301(a)(7) of the INA as made applicable by the “old†Section 309(a) of the INA if the U.S. citizen father, prior to the child’s birth, had been physically present in the United States or one of its outlying possessions for ten years, five of which were after the age of 14, and if the paternity of the child had been established by legitimation prior to the child reaching the age of 21. The “old†Section 309(a) of the INA is applicable to individuals who were 18 on November 14, 1986 and to individuals whose paternity had been established by legitimation prior to that date. Individuals who were at least 15 on November 14, 1986, but under the age of 18, could opt to have their claim determined in accordance with the provisions of either the “old†or the “new†Section 309(a).
Birth Abroad Out-of-Wedlock to a U.S. Citizen Mother:
A person born abroad out-of-wedlock to a U.S. citizen mother may acquire U.S. citizenship under Section 309(c) of the INA if the mother was a U.S. citizen at the time of the person’s birth and if the mother was physically present in the United States or one of its outlying possessions for a continuous period of one year prior to the person’s birth. The U.S. citizen mother must be the genetic or the gestational mother and the legal parent of the child under local law at the time and place of the child’s birth to transmit U.S. citizenship.
The issue of what the term "natural born citizen" as it pertains to the Presidency has never been litigated. It needs to be. We have 300,000 anchor babies born to illegal aliens annually; there are thousands of children born to tourists (birth tourism); and many thousands more born to green card holders. All of them are US citizens at birth through birthright citizenship. Are they eligible to be President?
Ted Olson is a private citizen. He is entitled to his opinion but it has no force of law. This issue has never been litigated. It needs to be.
What gets me is, the way Obama’s eligibility was defended by conservatives and now we have this horrible mess. You would think forces would have combined and strengthened to protect the NBC institution, using Obama and the RATs as an example, and saying never again.
The same conservatives defending the queer communist are now defending Cruz’s eligibility. Maybe Cruz is the reason for their original position.
I was taught the two-parents/US soil standard in grade school...in the 60s.
DJT will slaughter Hillary Clinton or, any Obamabot low life “traitor” to the USA, Democrat vermin candidate, politically!!! No other Republican will come close to the whipping that DJT will give Obama’s totally failed Democrat Party!!!
Voters in the IOWA caucus....do not throw your vote away and vote for Ted Cruz, who is a very good man & Conservative....but Cruz cannot muster the millions of voters, that Donald Trump can!!! By votng forTed Cruz...you not only waste your vote....but....you the lay the groundwork for the Obamabot Democrats to continue the never ending, destruction of the once great American Republic!!! Wake up fools...and face reality!!!
Factis: Ted Cruz should become DJT’s running mate for the VP slot!!! End of story!!! Eight years of Trump & then, eight years of Ted Cruz.....no more Democrat Party vermin & no more Republican Establishment low life failures..like, McConnell, Ryan, Romney, McCain and the useless RINO group!!!
Iowa voters,....you have the future of America in your hands.....Cast your votes in the best interest of our once great nation....vote for, support....Donald J. Trump!!!! ONWARD!!!
A couple points. I don't think the claim that Cruz is ineligible is flimsy, but the claim being strong doesn't matter. No court is going to decide the case on the merits, and it is in Cruz's interest to avoid having a case proceed on the merits. The courts will naturally be averse to deciding the case on the merits.
There is no way to stop or control the initiation of suits. There will be scores of them. So, I agree with you, it's going to court, and it would have if Cruz had been born in the US to a citizen mother and alien father.
Ben Ginsberg Republican establishment GOP lawyer trying to play down the first four states as not important.

will say or do anything to try and dump Trump.
