The Constitution provides no legal guidance on defining “native born citizen”
Not surprising, since the term appears nowhere in that document. Of course few “terms of art” are defined in the Constitution. You are supposed to be educated enough to know what they mean. In 1787, people did.
Yes, I’m reasonably certain that knowing what the “terms of art” mean is why Barack Obama was sworn in by Chief Justice John Roberts, had his Electoral College votes certified without challenge by 535 members of Congress and that is why to date all Obama eligibility cases have been denied by the Supreme Court without comment.
Thus far, 50 lawsuits have been denied or dismissed concerning Barack Obama’s eligibility to be president. No lawsuits have ruled for plaintiffs and 8 cases are on appeal or awaiting additional hearings.
Oh, and the Constitution wasn’t ratified until June 21, 1788.
Barack Obama was sworn in by Chief Justice John Roberts, had his Electoral College votes certified without challenge by 535 members of Congress Whatever. None of that makes someone not eligible suddenly eligible.
Oh, and the Constitution wasn’t ratified until June 21, 1788.
But the ratification period started in 1787. Your point is?
