Everyone is biding their time. When Obama finally has no power you will see the system quietly go into hyper-drive to keep this from happening again. The law will be strengthened to make clear what “natural born citizen” means. They won't pursue the original meaning, they will dilute it so it fits retroactively as well as being clear for future candidates. Being born in the U.S. will be sufficient, both parents will not need to be U.S. citizens at the time of birth. Weakening it is not good, but it's much better than the existing ambiguity that risks a constitutional crisis.
Yep.
Everything Americans hold dear can be destroyed, as long as it avoids a Constitutional crisis.
The original meaning is FINE.
How about if we require people to show their birth certificate before running for office. They have to show a lot of other stuff .. tax records, financial records, etc., as well as proving they have no criminal records.
Just being born in the USA means the children of the new President of Egypt would be eligible for POTUSA. Where do you think their allegiance would be? The Founders were way ahead of the times.
I’m with you. I think they are just hoping this will pass quietly into the night and they can deal with the language under the radar. Because with all the illegal immigration activity of the past 20 years, this WILL come up again.
