Bingo.
No one is certain what “natural born citizen” means?
I can’t scream it loud enough, or make the letters big enough.
WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG...CAN I KEEP GOING!!!!!??????
Natural Born Citizen is very simple and very clear. ONLY born on American soil, and ONLY if both, BOTH, I’ll say it again, BOTH parents are American citizens.
Anything else causes huge legal problems.
The best way to think of Natural Born as meaning a second generation American where both parents were American citizens PRIOR to the child’s birth. End of discussion. Anything else is misguided BS.
He was born via cesarean section, so he is ineligible, according to low-information voters.
The rationale driving the requirement that both parents be citizens of the nation at issue has a long history, being intended to avoid a monarch having a taint of divided national loyalties.
Barack Hussein Obama, for example, was sired by a citizen of Kenya, so far as is known, and the anti-British Colonialism rancor that he absorbed from his Kenyan forebears and neighbors was readily transferred to the U.S.A., long and close ally, and in a sense, a socio-political-cultural “clone” of Britain. A divided and highly suspect national loyalty is one his key characteristics.
Bingo.
You got right there
So about the first ten presidents were like Obama cause the U.S. didn’t exist when they wee born? Washington, Jefferson, Adams, etall were not natural born citizens. Was there an exception to them that we don’t know about?
Chip, chip ,chip. Bit by bit. The Constitution and the plain meaning thereof, are relegated to the memory of nobody.
I’m beginning to believe that for some people who have a particular favorite person that once out of the womb and breathing a child is/was ‘natural born’ even for eligibility for POTUSA.
Natural Born Citizen is very simple and very clear. ONLY born on American soil, and ONLY if both, BOTH, I’ll say it again, BOTH parents are American citizens....
May I refer you gentlemen to the 48th Constitutional Amendment (AKA The Don Ho Amendment):
(a) If said or any candidate can stake a claim, reasonable or not, to birth in Hawaii to at least one American citizen parent illegally married or not to an African bigamist, that candidate shall assume the mantle of "Messiah to his Race (s)" and be proclaimed President without reference to election rules in any State or Federal Jurisdiction.
(b)This Amendment does not apply to any Republican, including Marco Rubio, Bobby Jindal, Ted Cruz, or Geraldo (puke) Rivera.
I am sure that when the present WH Recumbent gets around to placing one or two more Lesbocommies of any sex to the SCOTUS, all of this will be resolved to our satisfaction.
Both my wife and I are US citizens. Both of our children were born overseas when I was stationed in Germany. I find it hard to believe that both are not natural born citizens.
All I know is that Cruz seems more American, more patriotic and more of a Constitutionalist than any of the republicans currently serving in office.
