“Good for you, because if you walk like a duck, and talk like a duck, you’re going to called a duck around here.”

Now all you have to do is find a US Court, State Court, State, or Member of Congress who doesn’t walk and talk like a duck. How about Rush, or Malkin, or Coulter - ducks all!

There is a reason birthers have a perfect record of failure, and the problem isn’t the Constitution.

“Interpreting the US Constitution is the Supreme Court’s job. Determining the precise definition of NBC certainly IS within their jurisdiction.”

Probably not. The only place it appears is in defining the requirements for President, and certifying the election of a President is specifically Congress’s job. Since the phrase has no need to exist outside something that is purely the job of Congress, a court may well conclude that Congress needs to define it.

And you should note, Congress has done so several times...

“They did NOT make their position clear. They simply rejected that case.”

Correct. They rejected the only case that could come before them PRIOR to Obama taking office, and did so without comment. That was either because they just didn’t think it was important, or because they didn’t think the case had merit.

Either way, only an idiot would believe they are going to try to remove a sitting President over Congress AFTER he takes office, when they refused to do anything PRIOR.

There were multiple definitions of NBC. The courts have ruled it means someone whose birth makes them naturally subject to US sovereignty.

You’re a lying POS.

I don’t know what your angle is but you’re a lying POS. The lie above has been dimsantled and taken apart and proved to be a lie over and over and over and over again on many threads.

But, because you’re a dishonest lying POS, you trot it out again and again and again, hoping people who are ignorant will believe it.

I feel like following you around and telling everyone when you post this crap that you’re a lying POS.

There is ONLY one definition and not multiples that define the meaning and intent behind the natural born citizen clause that is written in the US Constitution.

And an NBC's allegiance is ONLY to the United States.

The Constitution is senior to the courts and court rulings. Men in black robes and small groups of representatives in marble halls can decide that a thing does not mean what most men agree is the common understanding. They can issue paper rulings and bills which seek to overturn the basic agreements among the citizens, but these things will never hold if they lack the consent of the governed.

This is the area of disagreement that we now find ourselves in. Most Americans believe that what the Framers set forth in our Constitution means what it says, and they desire for our government to respect those simple agreements and understandings.

That none of them seem willing lift a finger to uphold their oaths of office to protect and defend our Constitution, is a cause for major disquiet and uneasiness among the people. This distress can't be forever bought off and quelled by edicts, statutes, findings, obfuscations, evasions, and deliberate subversions.

At some point, the people will tire of endlessly seeking redress, and finding nothing but rebuff. They will demand that those charged with administering our Constitutional republic adhere to our Founding Charter, or abdicate their positions in government. If that demand is not complied with, the people will be left with no other choice but to eject those who are willfully violating the common agreements which bind us.

That's pretty much the bottom line.
