roe v wade legalized abortion
The main problem with NBC morons is that they want to take the focus off Kamala and the dozens of very real reasons why she should not be elected and instead they try and turn the argument into a meaningless mass of nothing burgers.
That - and the fact that NBC kooks are racist.
It’s a congressional issue as I see it. The courts are not qualified. Congress is our sole legislative body.
I agree! I do not think that the Democrats could have picked a worse candidate, except maybe for Admiral Rachel Levine.
OK, which one of you is Little Bobby?
The only hope is clarifying this at the Constitutional level via an Amendment, but given the current polarized nature of the US populous that has less chance of happening than Q-Anon succeeding in flushing the child traffickers out of the Deep State.
Which is NOT and has nothing to do with the idiocy of the Sovereign citizen lunatic movement. Nancy Pelosi is to blame for “vetting” a Non-Natural Born Citizen- as defined clearly in the Federalist Papers. Written by the Founders who covered the qualifications in Article of the US Constitution ratified in 1788! from that time all the way to obywon- there has NEVER been anyone but a true US born to US parents (both of them) President. the kenyan-indonesian-being a purposeful exception, and illegal as hell.
The King of Thailand was born in Cambridge Massachusetts. He can run for Prez too? Really?
Personally I think there’s an excellent original it’s case that a child of diplomats is not a natural born _citizen_.
But there’s exactly a 0.00% chance that anything will ever be done about it, even if the courts agreed the argument. And anyway they don’t agree.
So this is a rabbit hole for people who want to lose an election on “principle.”
Nope, the Courts are exactly the right people to decide legal issues such as the definition of natural-born citizen. AND, Congress did pass the 14th Amendment, which established the right of natural-born citizenship for all persons born here, with a couple of exceptions.
Originalist. My auto correct never heard that word before!
The courts would not even agree to require a birth certificate for a presidential candidate. They have ruled that this is not an issue for the courts to decide.
“OK, which one of you is Little Bobby?”
LOL! I think they all are! Like the Lesbian Space Witches say in the Acolyte - “We are One! We are two! We are many!”
I think “subject to the jurisdiction” needs to be better defined, but that is a court case for another day. And whatever, it would not be defined retroactively.
Was the King of Thailand a citizen here at birth?
Arnold Schwarzenegger was born in Austria, he ran for and was elected Governor of California.
I’ve no doubt that if he ran for the White House, he would have no court interference of his eligibility.
None.
Just like Obama. 226 challenges. Not one was successful.

Your opinion of lawyers is higher than mine. Let Congress determine the scope of legislation it passes. John Marshall be damned.
Well, the problem is that the term was NOT defined in the Constitution, and that is the issue in the Wong Kim Ark case. Which decided that parentage, unless of a couple of exemptions, did not matter.
You may agree with that, or you may disagree with that, but unless Wong Kim Ark is overturned, it is the law.
Churchill’s mother was American. Kennedy made him an honorary US citizen.
I suggest that if age and desire wasn’t a problem, Winston could have changed roles as Great Britain’s Prime Minister to US president.
