A petition that is procedurally flawed? My FRiend, Upthread I posted a link that shows, for Obama alone, 226 petitions that failed to even be considered. You think they are all procedurally flawed? That thousands of great legal minds over several years of diligent efforts put together petitions that are procedurally flawed?
Get real.
Most importantly, if nothing more than mere citizenship was required, as clearly is the current proposition, then there would be no need at all for the founders to add any reference to "natural born citizen".
There was a specific reason why the founders declined to identify and describe what exactly an NBC is. Do you know why? I do. So do thousands of legal experts and historians. And what we all know is that Obama, Kamala, Ted Cruz, John McCain, Vivek, Cleveland, Nikki and yes even Donald Trump are all eligible to serve as they are (or were) citizens.
Look. There are plenty of reasons to want Nikki to fail. We heard these same lame arguments against Ted Cruz, only so so loudly vocal since he was less hated than Obama or Nikki. But to grandstand on this issue as you people do only shows racism and hypocracy.
Stop it.
There is no rational basis for you to claim the founders "declined to identify and to describe the term" or even that there was a need to do so. It is certain they were confident of their usage of the term, that it was well understood at the time at least by those who would sign the document and thought appropriate.
However, this would be a good time for you to explain why you believe they seemed to purposely obscure the meaning of the term since you claim to know.
As for the rest of your response you mistakenly confuse me for an anti-Nikki voter and charge me and others for grandstanding on the NBC issue only because we are racists.
With that, I am going to do things more enjoyable than exchanging with you.
Yup. Idiot arrogant Judges that needed to be dragged out in the street and horsewhipped for being jackasses.
Dysfunctional courts. Completely dysfunctional. Broken.

Yes, because they all knew what it meant at the time, because they had all read Vattel.
They tossed out English common law regarding "subjects" when they tossed out "subjects" and replaced it with "citizens."
