Have ANY of you taken or ever seen the test that LEGAL immigrants take to become Naturalized citizens of this nation? How about the study guides that our government hands out to the people who take that exam?

I have!

And unless our government has suddenly changed what was printed in the study guide, our government explicitly has spelled out what a NBC is and WHO is eligible to run for/serve as president of this nation...to wit: In order to be eligible to run for/act as president of the USA, said person must be born here and both parents MUST be citizens, whether by birth or Naturalization, at the time of the person's birth.

Yes, that was ignored re Obama; however, should someone try to emulate wee barry, but run as a GOPer ( Haley, Jindal, all of Trump's kids except for Tiffany ), you all better wake up to the fact that the Dems and the MSM will all howl and scream, at the top of their collective lungs, about NBC!

Just because someone is born on this soil, it does NOT make them a NBC; just a citizen.

I and others, who know the facts of this, have posted about it, in even greater depth, here, for many years. It's long past time that others stop disagreeing and take what our government says about it; Obama be damned.

Yes, I have damned Obama repeatedly since 2007, as a liberal fascist.

But the problem is that the definition of what NBC means according to the presidential qualification is NOT settled law. Maybe with Gorsuch and Kavanaugh on the bench of SCOTUS, the issue can be clarified.

All of the bloviation in the world won’t clarify the issue.

Here is a thorough summary of the situation:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural-born-citizen_clause

But one thing is sure, no individual citizen has standing to bring an eligibility suit against a presidential candidate.
Only a state ballot access suit would bring the matter into the Courts.

As things stand now, only Congress can decide the issue of individual presidential candidate qualification.And that should be codified into law so the issue can be properly raised when necessary, but the fact is that we have no clear solution to the issue at law.

The issue is a political one in any given case and it will be for the future unless SCOTUS or Congress has the opportunity to decide to end the present ambiguity.

I doubt in Haley’s case that you could get the necessary political will power to rule on her eligibility as a presidential candidate. But things can change in the political world. So right now we have to live with the political uncertainty of the qualification issue.

No one has proposed a law to define the qualification issue clearly in the House or the Senate.If they did they would be pilloried as “birthers.”

But maybe we can get PDJT to take a stand on the issue and promise to nudge Congress to step up?
