"It was "student note" written by a law student"

It was a scholarly work published in the Yale Law Journal. If you weren't an uneducated rube, you might have figured that one out on your own, smart-ass. Again, for the intellectually challenged, here's the article...

Natural-Born Citizen Clause and Presidential Eligibility: Resolving Two Hundred Years of Uncertainty, 97 Yale L.J. 881 (1988).

If you ever went to a blue-chip law school, rather than flipping burgers at Dennys or wherever, you might understand the significance of being published at Yale. Typical birther though, can't find the rear-end in the dark with a flashlight and a map.

"Native born = Natural born? Well settled? Really? Where? When? By whom?"

Here you go, birther boy. Quoting form the majority opinion in Schneider v. Rusk, 377 U.S. 163 (1964)...

"We start from the premise that the rights of citizenship of the native born and of the naturalized person are of the same dignity, and are coextensive. The only difference drawn by the Constitution is that only the "natural born" citizen is eligible to be President. Art. II, § 1. "

The import of Schnieder is clear (you know what import means, right?) - they are using "native born" and "natural born" interchangeably, establishing a clear vernacular difference with no legal distinction.

"Amazing. Really. The definition that the framers knew is "interplayed" with the 14th Amendment and naturalization powers. Wow. Yeah. Sure"

You have no idea what she said, and you're mocking her. You're hysterical, and not in the good way.

Hmmmmm.

Can you show us just where he says explicitly that "native born" citizens are eligible to be President???? Something appears to have been lost in your interchange.

If he meant "native born" citizens can be President, then why didn't he say "native born" citizens can be President???

He correctly says "natural born" citizens -- not "native born" citizens. Are you saying that was a spelling error????

Words have meanings and distinctions, you know. Ask your cleaning lady. If she is as good as you say, then she can help you with those things.

Is this the kind of flimsy evidence that you are relying on to support the lawless disregard for the Constitution by the Obama regime???

Hey dumb-ass, before you go calling someone a smart-ass, you might want to look at your precious "evidence" first!

----------------------------

For starters, have a look at the document name: "pryor_note.pdf" Follow that with doing a search in her NOTE, for the term NOTE. You'll see that SHE call's this brilliant piece of "scholarly work" a NOTE.

Not enough for you? Try this on for size then, you ignoramus you...

"Twenty years ago, I examined this question in my student note for the “Yale Law Journal,”"
Written by none other than you vaunted "blue chipper" Jill A. Pryor herself on Tuesday, April 08, 2008 in an article titled McCain bid revives 'natural' question

It was a STUDENT NOTE!

Schneider v. Rusk found that native born had the "same rights of citizenship" as Natural Born. Right? Right. Guess what, Naturalized citizens HAVE THE SAME RIGHTS OF "citizenship" AS WELL! Your case there, ANTI-BIRTHER BOY, did NOT say that native citizens are eligible to be POTUS. Now, did they?

Your so blinded by the copious amounts of Barry Kool-Aid you've ingested, that you didn't even read your own quote from the case: "The only difference drawn by the Constitution is that only the "natural born" citizen is eligible to be President. Art. II, § 1. "

Who's the burger flipper here? Stunning!

STUDENT NOTE, from 1988. LMAO! Funny, but not.
