As usual, when you get called, you resort to belittling and marginalizing. If you forgot what I wrote, I’ll forgive you since it was last night and we’ve all had a lot to think about since then.

But, just a reminder, the lesser of two evils is trying to decide to violate my oath to obey the Constitution, or vote to keep a democrat out of office. That would apply to Cruz (eligible?) as it did to Romney (senor plastic), Bush (can’t put 3 words together to make sense, the patriot act, etc.), McCain (sheesh), Dole, Bush Sr., Ford and Nixon, and anyone else I forgot.)

I thank you for your advice to not vote again. But, since it’s given by someone who believes the following, I’ll pass on it:

Born to American father and foreign national mother in a foreign country = natural born American citizen (not a dual citizen or citizen by statute)

Born to American father and foreign national mother in a foreign country on US Military base = natural born American citizen (not a dual citizen or citizen by statute)

Born to American father and foreign national mother in a foreign country in a US Embassy or consulate = natural born American citizen (not a dual citizen or citizen by statute)(this may actually be correct, since Embassys and consulates are considered American territory)

Born to American mother and foreign national father in a foreign country = natural born American citizen (not a dual citizen or citizen by statute)

Born to American mother and foreign national father in a foreign country on Military base = natural born American citizen (not a dual citizen or citizen by statute)

Born to American mother and foreign national father in a foreign country in a US Embassy or consulate = natural born American citizen (not a dual citizen or citizen by statute)

Born to American father and American mother in a foreign country = natural born American citizen (not a dual citizen or citizen by statute)

Born to American father and American mother in a foreign country on Military base = natural born American citizen (not a dual citizen or citizen by statute)

Born to American father and American mother in a foreign country in a US Embassy or consulate = natural born American citizen (not a dual citizen or citizen by statute)

Born to resident alien foreign national father and American mother in America = natural born American citizen but not a citizen of father’s country (i.e. not a dual citizen)

Born to resident alien foreign national mother and American father in America = natural born American citizen but not a citizen of mother’s country (i.e. not a dual citizen)

Born to resident alien foreign national father and resident alien foreign national mother in America = natural born American citizen but not a citizen of father’s and mother’s country(ies) (as they may be from different foreign countries) (i.e. not a foreign citizen, dual citizen or triple citizen)

Born to illegal alien foreign national father and American mother in America = natural born American citizen but not a citizen of father’s country (i.e. not a dual citizen)

Born to illegal alien foreign national mother and American father in America = natural born American citizen but not a citizen of mother’s country (i.e. not a dual citizen)

Born to illegal alien foreign national father and illegal alien foreign national mother in America = natural born American citizen but not a citizen of father’s and mother’s country(ies) (as they may be from different foreign countries) (i.e. not a foreign citizen (not subject to American jurisdiction) or dual citizen or triple citizen)

Natural born citizen = born citizen = naturalized citizen = dual citizen = triple citizen?

Or, to put it in the parlance the Founders would understand, their “obvious” intent would have been that:

Born to American father and British mother in Britain = natural born American citizen (not a dual citizen or citizen by statute or natural born subject)

Natural born citizen = born citizen = naturalized citizen = dual citizen = triple citizen = natural born subject?
