But since the Constitution identifies only two ways of achieving citizenship status...I would say that it’s very much settled.

+++++++++++++++

USC 14th Amend: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside.”

++++++++++++++

Question, do you think the Founder intended an anchor baby to be eligible for the POTUS/VPOTUS?

I disagree that this is settled SCOTUS law. It is my opinion that since the founding fathers distinguished between ‘citizen at birth’ and ‘natural born citizen’ [http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2306351/posts?page=7144#7144] and since the SCOTUS has disputed this around the edges for so long, the SCOTUS needs to settle this matter, both for the current imbroglio and into the future. Even the case you cited distinguishes between NBC and CAB. The SCOTUS alone can settle this once and for all. Or an Amendment to the US Constitution. Not you, and not me.

It’s not settled, the court’s refusal to redress by an action under mandamus of a bitterly contentious area not specified as a duty of an official, yet clear as a requirement of office is a egregious misfeasance. This is instead an open sore.

Obama is a Usurper. So I do hold, and so do many. No cold blanket of inaction by derelict officials and judges can remedy Obama’s deficiency to hold the office of President.

I haven't read anything from them either way.

And where did the Founding Fathers do that?
