And why was it noted that:
Modified and affirmed.
MR. JUSTICE DOUGLAS took no part in the consideration and decision of this case.
Native Jus Soli (right of soil)
Natural Jus Soli & Jus Sanguinis (right of soil and right of blood)
Again - my opinion, but I do believe this was the intent of the Natural born clause as it is placed on the President and Vice President only.
I think your opinion is a valid interpretation.
I think mine is as well.
I also think the US Supreme Court SHOULD have taken the case in Dec 2008 and issued a written ruling on how they interpret “natural born citizen” - BEFORE Obama took office.
Had they found him ineligible, the Congress could have sworn in Biden and he could have picked a new VP. To do so now would be far more disruptive, and I don’t think the Court will touch this case unless forced.
And the only way I see to force the issue would be for a state to determine that NBC means born to two US citizens, and therefor pass a law stating that they will not accept a candidate on their ballot who lacks 2 US citizen parents.
THAT ought to force a US Supreme Court case!
