And here is Jeff doing his BLATANT LYING. He quotes James Bayard's book in a misleading manner.
"It is not necessary that a man should be born in this country, to be 'a natural born citizen.' It is only requisite that he should be a citizen by birth, and that is the case with all the children of citizens who have ever resided in this country, though born in a foreign country."
Here is how he lies. He equates "Citizen by birth" without defining the term. According to the Understanding of James Bayard, and According to the Understanding of his son Thomas, The ONLY way to be a "citizen by birth" was to have an American father.
United States Secretary of State Thomas F. Bayard.
Jeff knows this. He's had it beaten into his head about twenty times in the last week. Jeff is lying about this because he knows what is the truth and still repeats what is false.
Bottom line. Jeff LIES to make his point. He can't do it without lying because his point is factually wrong.
Here is how [Jeff] lies. He equates "Citizen by birth" without defining the term. According to the Understanding of James Bayard, and According to the Understanding of his son Thomas, The ONLY way to be a "citizen by birth" was to have an American father.
No, it wasn't, doofus.
In 1854, John Charles Frémont (note the French accent over the "e" - that's how he spelled it) was the first Republican candidate for President of the United States.
He ran as the proud son of a Frenchman who had never become a United States citizen, and never intended to. In a 3-way race, he placed a strong 2nd behind James Buchanan.
And yes, Frémont faced a crop of birthers who viciously attacked him because of his birth.
Because his father, you see... had not been married to Frémont's mom.
That was it. Frémont was viciously attacked by birthers... because he was a bastard.
But no one seems to have given a damn that his father hadn't been a United States citizen at the time Frémont was born.
Why? Because unlike Griesser, Frémont was born in the United States, to a RESIDENT alien father.
