You sound like a lawyer and from your ID maybe you are a military lawyer.

I think your post should be linked when trying to explain this to Obamatrons who come to this site.

It is a confusing issue to most..and perhaps even to some lawyers.

Thank you (though I don't know that it's a compliment to "sound like a lawyer"--lol). I must say we won't know what the answers are until the Supreme Court speaks, if and when that occurs.

That said, it's imporant to have this discussion and to militate for the SCOTUS to settle this for the future, if nothing else. I am sure when the Constitution was adopted, everyone knew what a "natural born citizen" was. As time went on, it's meaning has become less clear and more blurred with legal and sometimes popular notions of what it means to be a "citizen."

Sort of like the Second Amendment. Anyway.

I have a couple of other "summary" posts I've been using. It does get wearing to go over the same ground again and again. ;)
