“I believe the Justices will fully hear Leo Donofrios case and in voting on Friday to hear the case they will order an immediate stay. That will put a hold on the Electoral College vote until a ruling is made. I may be wrong, but that is the way I see it.
You earlier stated the 14th Amendment would apply to Obama which would make him a natural born citizen.
The way I see it, it would make him a citizen, but not natural born. The definition of natural born is still under question but I still believe it is someone born of parents who are both US citizens and born on US soil. Not just one or the other, but both in order to hold the Office of President.”
I THINK THEY WILL STAY THE EC TOO - UNTIL THIS IS RESOLVED ...
As for “natural born” - I agree, and I think this is the crux of Donofrio’s arguement.
“Natural born” is not defined - anywhere, but I believe that it is a COMBINATION of two (2) rights of citizenship:
1. Jus Soli: (of the soil). If you are born on U.S. soil, you are a “citizen”.
2. Jus Sanguinis: (of the blood). You derive your citizenship from your father - you are a “citizen” of his country.
A “natural born” citizen possesses BOTH Jus Soli AND Jus Sanguinis ...
~~PINGing the list for this one. Other thread pulled.

pissant: please ping me for articles on this.
So you would agree with Donofrio that McCain is ineligible to be president?
