The only way he could possibly be considered NBC is if he really was born in HI, to a father other than Sr who happens to be a citizen.
“The only way he could possibly be considered NBC is if he really was born in HI, to a father other than Sr who happens to be a citizen.”
That would be the only *unequivocal* way. All other ways are open to interpretation by the SCOTUS however, and it is where they have dropped their responsibility on this basic Constitutional issue! None of these arguments except what you suggest is cut and dried - which is partly what makes them difficult to argue and gain support in the public.
One basic publicly supported position is - how shall we continue the rule of law in this nation - shall it be by abiding by the US Constitution as the supreme law of the land? Yes to that question will still get lot of support from independents and all true conservatives. What is that - still 60 to 65% of us?
We need to argue that ‘We’re Constitutionalists and those against a review and SCOTUS ruling on Nbc (and other matters) are AGAINST the US Constitutional rule of law - as simple as that.’ ‘What in the world does that have to do with being a ‘birfer’ or a ‘tin foil’ conspiracist?’, we might add for our lefty participants in such a debate.
