The diamonds got stolen in that election too. All diamonds need to be returned. Either we return to constitutional principals in toto or we have no country. Getting to pick and choose which parts of the Constitution are okay and which are not going to be followed means utter destruction of the Republic.
Yep. I presented the Obama/McCain thing to illustrate the “picking and choosing” thing, and the damage it’s done.
AFAIK, there’s never been an “official” definition codified. The Constitution says only “natural-born citizen”, but as you know, there’s been fierce debate ever since on precisely what constitutes “natural-born”. Even the cases of Minor v. Happersett and USA v. Wong Kim Ark aren’t accepted by everyone, nor is Vattel’s Law of Nations.
Not holding out any hope for the current Supreme Court issuing a unanimous Opinion to settle the debate once and for all. If they’re all booted out and replaced, however, maybe clarity can prevail again.
Will keep praying for a timely resolution, as you’ve very wisely advised doing before. Have a great rest of the day, and I’ll look forward to another of your breathtaking images tonight. They really do help restful sleep. Best, AFB-XYZ
