You have a way of saying it that makes many of us out here wish that we had your disability.

As the two of you know...John Bingham, "father" of the 14th Amendment, the abolitionist congressman from Ohio who prosecuted Lincoln's assassins, reaffirmed the definition known to the framers by saying this:

commenting on Section 1992 said it means “every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is, in the language of your Constitution itself, a natural born citizen.” (Cong. Globe, 39th, 1st Sess., 1291 (1866))"

Thanks. I must have been at a good part of my neuro-cycle.

Due to CFS, my IQ goes up and down three times a day by about 30 points in a wave pattern as predictable as the tides and with neuro-naps of at least a half hour required in the troughs. If I try to post too early in the day (before 11:00 am) or to push past a scheduled neuro-nap to keep posting, I am prone to gaffes.

I must apologize for instances when my memory, follow-through and ability to sustain interactions are sporadic.
