I worked for McCain too, but he lost. This birth certificate nonsense especially the stuff about his mother’s status is a non-starter.

His mother’s status IS important because she was not old enough under the law at that time to transfer her citizenship to an offspring, leaving BO only with the citizenship of his father.
You are probably too young to remember (as am I ;~)) that in some states, property, inheritance, citizenship were ALL gender issues.Citizenship was determined paternally for a LOOOOOOOng time. It wasn’t really that long ago that women got “equal rights” guaranteed. TODAY YOUNG PEOPLE TAKE IT FOR GRANTED that women always have been treated equally.

You are simply saying that the constitution is meaningless. You might be right, the court may so decide. But if you are right, then it is completely meaningless.

If Article II - Section - I is meaningless, the entire document is meaningless. You are saying that it doesn’t matter “how” he won.

I’m saying, if 66 million Americans can ignore Article II, then 56 million Americans can ignore Amendment XVI...
