I think the news conference is tomorrow.
Disagree with you on that.
If BO isn't a natural born citizen, then he's not eligible to hold the office, and to leave him there would be an unacceptable precedent, to put it mildly. At least Biden is a natural born citizen.
No, I don't think it's too late at all.
“You should have stopped me at the dinner roll.”
Punch line from a great story by another FReeper, whose name escapes me.

Hell they want us to give up but I’m praying otherwise as the continued existence of our Country depends on it.
Yes, I think it was Sen. Hatch who wanted to change it.
Now Elena Kagen is on record wanting to curtail the 1st Amendment rights of those whose speech is not beneficial to social justice, or some such ridiculous thing!
Well, people like Hatch and Kagen forget that “their” kind of people aren’t always going to be in power.
You know the old adage, “be careful what you wish for, ‘cause you just might get it!”
LOLOLOLOL!!!

You move on.
Thanks for the ping!

Andy Martin:
“Heres a guy with no ties to the country; he comes in and rolls in the hay with some girl, and now they want to make this guy president! Its almost the kind of battles that used to take place in Europe about the French kings and the English king and Mary, Queen of Scots, and whether you were legitimate or illegitimate. You see, they had revolutions over these things, and people were beheaded because kings would roll in the hay with people and the question arose about legitimacy. So the Founding Fathers put this safety valve in to say, look, ‘Well be practical with the Congress, but we want to be sure that the president is natural-born and that we know who his daddy is and his mommy is. We dont want this stuff going on that weve seen in Europe.’ “

Brings up St. George Tucker:
“That provision in the constitution which requires that the president shall be a native-born citizen (unless he were a citizen of the United States when the constitution was adopted,) is a happy means of security against foreign influence, which, wherever it is capable of being exerted, is to he dreaded more than the plague. The admission of foreigners into our councils, consequently, cannot be too much guarded against; their total exclusion from a station to which foreign nations have been accustomed to, attach ideas of sovereign power, sacredness of character, and hereditary right, is a measure of the most consummate policy and wisdom.
The title of king, prince, emperor, or czar, without the smallest addition to his powers, would have rendered him a member of the fraternity of crowned heads: their common cause has more than once threatened the desolation of Europe. To have added a member to this sacred family in America, would have invited and perpetuated among us all the evils of Pandoras Box.”
