No requirement was needed when the Constitution was written. If there are any doubts that would raise a question regarding NBC, then the person isn’t one.
There are Federal statutes governing the US citizenship status of everyone born without natural born citizenship.
There are NO laws governing the US citizenship acquired naturally by birth when both parents who are citizens. That person acquires his/her citizenship naturally from the parents (no matter where the birth takes place).
We are now living in a time where money buys Congress, judges, the presidency and every office on down. Money has bought the free press which could have kept the people informed and the government free of corruption.
I believe in America and our Constitution, but I don’t know of any way, without help from God, we are going to overcome the situation we now find ourselves in this country.
You and the other birthers need to get your story straight.
I note that you are strictly jus sanguinis, while a good many of your buddies are an odd combination of jus sanguinis and jus solis, holding that both conditions must be met to be NBC.
In my personal opinion, either condition works, as NBC merely means citizenship at birth, as opposed to naturalized citizenship acquired after birth.
Obama meets the jus solis requirement, and he arguably meets the jus sanguinis requirement, since one parent was most definitely a US citizen. Unless one wanders off into the bizarre la-la land of Obama not really being the child of Obama, Sr. and Stanley.
I note that some birthers have recently headed off down the self-defeating path that his “real” father was someone else, such as Frank Marshall Davis. In which case, of course, Obama would meet both jus solis and jus sanguinis. Except that the law doesn’t recognize the “real father” of the child of a married couple as anyone but the husband. Giant can of large worms.
Neither your opinion nor mine, is a FACT. They are both opinions. And they will remain so unless and until the Supreme Court rules on the matter, which would of course be precisely the role the Founders intended the Court to play.
