”(constitution) says, 'No person except a natural born citizen ... shall be eligible to the office...'

Peerless says, "Hold" ultimately comes from the word "to" as it was used in Article II.



I maybe a little drunk at the moment but this guy doesn’t know the difference between the words ‘to’ and ‘hold.’

He needs to go away. As he is trying to put it “it depends on the meaning of word ‘to’”
You can read all his posts and stuff but this is his whole argument in a nut shell.

As he puts it:
“So it's quite clear.." that he needs to go away.

No, the problem isn't that I don't understand the difference between the words "to" and "hold." The problem is that you don't understand the meaning of the word "to" as it relates to Article II.

I've provided the definition. Which to repeat means to serve as, or in the capacity of.

Are you seriously arguing that to serve as President, or to be in the capacity of President is not synonymous with holding or otherwise occupying the office of President?

Yes, he’s peerless in his annoyance but he at least is knowledgeable. He makes some interesting points. I say let’s keep him. We need more knowledgeable freepers, and we shouldn’t be getting rid of smart newbies just because we disagree with them.
