What's my point? Because of all that uniquesness, the issue isn't settled and there isn't precedent'. The 'pubs have been very sloppy about not getting a definition of natural born citizen since then. The way this is going down the slippery slope, there won't be ANY restrictions on who can be President!
Again, Trump is correct. He does have to be colorful and provocative. It's the only way peole take notice of these very important issues he brings up.
‘Did he ever renounce his Indonesian citizenship that replaced his British Commonwealth citizenship?’
Right. Lots of nagging questions. Like where is his VISA?
As to the confusion ...
The ‘G’ OP doesn’t think they have any say about eligibility. They defer to the Ivy Leagues and shrug their shoulders.
There are millions of people in this country like me. We are old enough that we received a decent education, we were taught in high school the constitution, the construction of the American government, the rights and responsibilities of an American citizen.
We were taught that a natural born citizen is a citizen born in the United States of two citizen parents. We are and were not political junkies, just went about our lives, working and raising our children. When Obama ran we said, whoa - this guy is not a NBC. We were and are ridiculed because of our beliefs.
Now, eight years later, we have seen just how badly that went. Does anyone think that we will get up and vote for yet another person who we do not consider a NBC? Already the few of us that are commenting are being called birthers again.
The media 24/7 and boards like this delight in calling us low information voters. Well, I can about guarantee that if the Republican candidate isn’t a natural born citizen we will stay home, vote down ticket only or vote third party. Because one of the things drilled into us growing up was the responsibilities of being an American citizen.
