Completely agree. By far the best way to UNDO the damage done by Barry....ALL of it, and not just the health care debacle, is to expose him (in the mainstream) as the usurper he is.
"On some long ago FReeper thread on the topic, I vaguely remember someone saying a specific Supreme Court ruling spelled out what Natural Born Citizen means. But I’ve never seen it mentioned again. That’s something that would be useful!"
The definition came directly from Vattel. Someone the founders were well acquainted with an relied upon for more than the NBC term. NBC = born in country, to citizen parentS.
That same definition was reaffirmed by:
Founder and Historian David Ramsay in 1789.
Many early SCOTUS cases:
"THE VENUS, 12 U.S. (8 Cranch) 253, 289 (1814) (Marshall, C.J. concurring) (cites Vattel’s definition of Natural Born Citizen)
SHANKS V. DUPONT, 28 U.S. 242, 245 (1830) (same definition without citing Vattel)
MINOR V. HAPPERSETT, 88 U.S.162,167-168 ( 1875) (same definition without citing Vattel)
EX PARTE REYNOLDS, 1879, 5 Dill., 394, 402 (same definition and cites Vattel)
UNITED STATES V WARD, 42 F.320 (C.C.S.D. Cal. 1890) (same definition and cites Vattel.)"

And 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))"
Excellent information. Thanks very much!
