Obviously, Squeeky, you are more knowledgeable of what the Framers meant and upon what the relied concerning the law of citizenship that either Chief Justice John Marshall or Mr. Jusice Joseph Story. You must have considerable credentials to know that your opinion outweighs theirs. What are they? Were you like they familiar with the Framers? Did you know them as well as St. George Tucker, the foremost authority on the English common law at the time of the founding, whose views were precisely those which you ridicule? How about Daniel Ramsay? They were all, in your veiw, crazy, right?
Oh, I know that I am not a lawyer, and that is why I rely on what the law case thingies say. Like:
“Based upon the language of Article II, Section 1, Clause 4 and the guidance provided by Wong Kim Ark, we conclude that persons born within the borders of the United States are “natural born Citizens” for Article II, Section 1 purposes, regardless of the citizenship of their parents.”
I did have a minor in English, sooo I bet that sentence says Obama is legal if he was truly born in Hawaii (or Connecticut). But, just to be sure, I also asked my mother’s lawyer and paid him $50 last year. Plus, my BFF Fabia Sheen, Esq.
So yes. I am pretty confident.
