If the Founding Fathers had done that with every phrase in the Constitution it would have been the size of the IRS code.
The success of our experiment in self-rule depends upon whether or not the people are honest, moral, and upright, and are a people with the good will to make the experiment work.
It is impossible to write enough laws that are tightly enough constructed that it can corral immoral people who are determined to corrupt the experiment.
An honest, upright, straightforward, and moral person would be **HONORED** to prove he was a natural born citizen and qualified to fill the post of president. That Obama has not done and has had so many enablers bodes ill for this nation.
May God save our Republic from the Commufascists.
To be fair, I did say "or the legislative sessions immediately after the adoption of the USC should have addressed this issue".
The Constitution is pretty darn vague with respect to the set-up of the actual judicial branch of government. Which is exactly why the "Judiciary Act of 1789" was one of the very first acts of Congress.
For whatever reason, Article 2, Sec 1 is one of the few (perhaps the only) constitutional clauses that hasn't been addressed or built upon legislatively.
That also is nonsense. Locker room lawyers can make all kinds of arguments about what the law is or ought to be. If this case ever gets argued to a Court on facts demonstrating that he was born in Kenya, he is just the White House squatter until the Federal Marshal gets there to kick him out.
There isn't any doubt about what the Constitution means by "natural born" and Obama isn't.
An honest, upright, straightforward, and moral person would be **HONORED** to prove he was a natural born citizen and qualified to fill the post of president.
