As is my understanding Obama did not fit that definition. He was President for 8 years. If you are to deny someone else that has the Obama type lineage you’ll need the courts to rule. So as I said. Either the courts rule that Obama was illegal (because anyone denied would surely bring it to court and use Obama as Precedent) or it’s legal. That’s how the Republic works. So I guess if you are foe the Republic you’ve got to let this go through the courts.
Obama’s mother was a U.S. citizen and, so, Obama met the parameters of the cited (watered down) definition.
In effect, the watered-down definition reliably excludes Schwarzenegger types, and ONLY Schwarzenegger types.
Presuming This Guy and you are otherwise basically sympatico in terms of conservative Pubbie politics, we’re just going to have to disagree on whether or not to sit still on whether the presence of foreign spice at birth in our POTUS candidates is acceptable.
Rubio was obviously infused with some measure of foreign spice at birth.
Hence he’s not a plain vanilla U.S. American.
Standard disclaimers apply: Yes, vanilla mostly comes from Mexico. And no, race is not a part of this equation (it’s what’s inside that counts).
