It’s not healthy discussion. You are telling me that you read the 387+ comments in 11 minutes? And SCOTUS HAS RULED! As I and others herein have pointed out.
No I posted that before I started reading your reference. I did go there and gave up just now after 150 posts.
Obviously there is a difference between natural born citizen and citizen because the Constitution spells out the qualifications of President and Senator. Senators need not be natural-born and Presidents need to be. That is where the confusion comes in because the writer did not define NBC. Sure we can assume a meaning based upon the writing of a guy named Vattel but we can’t make that assumption with certainty. I do agree however that the SCOTUS decision in Minor v Happersett defined NBC so that should settle it.
So why is Obama President and why was nothing done about it? After mulling this over for a bit (actually as I write this) I now take the birther stand but that places me in the minority and I don’t like being there. What to do?
