No, Jean, I didn’t. The first I heard of this issue was at FR. I didn’t bring it up do a google search on it. But the question got asked, and not just here.
I do NOT know the answer. Shoot, I don’t even remotely know the Military rules or regulations which govern such things. I do not know what laws govern this, I have not done an ounce of research into it. I going from what other posters here at FR have said. Thats it. I do not know the answers. Please enlighten me. I am asking you to.
I am not asking anyone to prove a negative! I didn’t make any accusations. I am not the one who asked the question.
Do you want to give a answer? Great! I really want do one! I have a primary coming up in Oregon and I REALLY want to be able to cast my vote for Santorum without any hesitation because I think he is the best man left in the race with a chance!
You and Jim are both acting like I am out to knock Santorum out of the race. No. I repeat, NO.
I want to vote for the man! I cannot do that if he isn’t a Natural Born Citizen! I have too much invested in the position of never voting for a person who is NOT a Natural Born Citizen!
You are staking the utterly absurd position that the administrative and bureaucratic process to finalize his citizenship matters more than the oath Aldo Santorum took and his service to this country that made him automatically eligible, by U.S. Code and long-standing tradition, to be a citizen in the first place.
What if a bureacratic snarl had tied up finalizing Aldo's citizenship to a time after Rick Santorum's birth, as what happened with MD Expat in PA's father? Would that matter more to you than the fact that Aldo served? Do you want to declare MD Expat in PA ineligible to seek the presidency, using your own absurdly stringent definition of an NBC?
Apparently so. Good ideas can be taken to the point of irrelevance and then absurdity if you refuse to factor in other points of view. You have clearly gone well past irrelevance and into abject absurdity.
