“The child of an alien, if born in the country, is as much a citizen as the natural born child of a citizen, and by operation of the same principle”
Citizenship is not the requirement for being President....being a Natural Born Citizen ie born in country to 2 citizen parents is.
You;re making circular arguements that are falling in on themselves......
As I said they is no doubt what-so-ever that Obama is ineligible to be President..... the only question that I will address from this post onward is “What do we do about it?” Its is the only thing relevant to the discussion.....
Saying it doesn't make it so. The SCOTUS passage previously under discussion that you mistakenly thought was from Vatell made clear that the criteria you outline leave NO DOUBT as to the natural born status, but goes on to say that many authorities go farther and grant such status to the children of aliens born in country.
What you claim is, quite simply, not in evidence.
If it were, then birther delusions about the treason of the entire SCOTUS, Congress, the Electoral College, wouldn't be groundless. The only piece of evidence as to the parentage of 0bambam would indeed show him to be ineligible because of a foreign national father.
But what you claim is, quite simply, not in evidence.
But mevermind the evidence! What are we going to do about our conclusions based upon inventions of Fulbright scholarships, travel bans on Pakistan, massive conspiracies, and a rather strange fetish for foreign essays on law rather than US law.
It is quite amusing!
