To: Red Steel; Non-Sequitur
Well, I'm rather surprised Non-Sequitur has not responded to my reply. If there is a nit to be picked, regarding an interpretation of legal precedent set by the Supreme Court, especially pertaining to this eligibility issue for Barack Obama, NS is right on it, and usually rather snide about it, lol. But, nothing ... crickets. Very unusual.

The language of Minor v. Happersett, while circuitous, does pin down the meaning of the term "natural-born citizen," via consideration of doubt, the standards of which are described starting with the first paragraph of my excerpt from that 1874 decision.

So, people who claim that the term "natural-born citizen" remains undefined, are wrong. Minor v. Happersett defined it adequately to disqualify Obama, due to doubt.
