Yep, Im awae of that ruling. I believe it was in error and would not be upheld by SCOTUS were they to hear it, which isnt going to happen.
I hadnt thought about a resignation. Thatd be spectacular. If only ...
You misunderstand me. That case was rightly dismissed.
When I say the ruling, I really mean the definition of “natural born citizen” in the decision. I don’t believe the court properly interpreted the Constitution or WKA. If the SCOTUS were ever to hear a case to decide once and for all who exactly is and is not a natural born citizen, I don’t think they would uphold the definition from that ruling.
That Congress is considering legislation to address birthright citizenship (anchor babies) speaks volumes about the erroneous interpretations that exist today regarding the 14thA and WKA. If Congress realizes that birth on this soil to foreign citizens shouldn’t automatically grant citizenship, then it most certainly should not grant natural born citizenship for Constitutional purposes.
