You are WORSE than ignorant. You decided before you started what it was going to mean, and you look at NOTHING except stuff you can twist into supporting your predetermined meaning.No, the problem is that I DIDN'T decide beforehand what I wanted it to mean, but simply went with the evidence. Which there's plenty of, in spite of your unrelenting attempts to mischaracterize and obfuscate it.
And his actions as President Completely disagree with YOU. He supported Ambassador Armstrong's (Also a Delegate) Determination that James McClure's citizenship was in doubt until further papers could be provided from South Carolina.
Birth in Charleston was NOT SUFFICIENT to convey American Citizenship. John Armstrong made this determination and James Madison Backed him up on it!
No, he didn't. As you well know, the SOLE REASON given by the Madison Administration for McClure's being an American citizen was that he was BORN IN CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA.
James Madison even wrote to the Alexandria Hearald under his well known pseudonym "Publius."
There's not the slightest evidence that "Publius" was James Madison, and you know it. "Publius" could've been anybody in America, and "Publius" himself expressed doubt about whether he was correct. And you know it.
Making a stupid assertion again and again as if it were fact, when there is literally no evidence to support it, doesn't make it true.
Of All I can recall you having mentioned, I don't recall any delegates among them.
Ah, except for the nearly HALF of the Signers of the Constitution who declared in 1790 that the children born to US citizen abroad were to be considered as "natural born citizens," directly contradicting the birther BS.
Ah, but it's easy to overlook President Washington and nearly half of the Signers of the Constitution, isn't it?
You can keep posting your repeated known, verified false claims and other BS for as long as Jim will tolerate you. But I won't be surprised if one of these days... Viking Kitties...
No, the problem is that I DIDN'T decide beforehand what I wanted it to mean, but simply went with the evidence. Which there's plenty of, in spite of your unrelenting attempts to mischaracterize and obfuscate it. And all of it you can find comes from YEARS LATER, even DECADES LATER, and written by people who DON'T KNOW WHAT THE **** THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT.
No, he didn't. As you well know, the SOLE REASON given by the Madison Administration for McClure's being an American citizen was that he was BORN IN CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA.
Still trying to lie Jeff. The article is here for anyone who wishes to read the whole thing. It was explicitly noted that being BORN IN CHARLESTON was insufficient proof. That's why it took a Congressman and a Supreme Court justice to round up sufficient proof and present it to James Monroe before they would intercede on behalf of James McClure.
Only then did the Madison administration act. Prior to that, they had left James McClure IN FRENCH CUSTODY FOR A YEAR AND SEVEN MONTHS!
There's not the slightest evidence that "Publius" was James Madison, and you know it. "Publius" could've been anybody in America, and "Publius" himself expressed doubt about whether he was correct. And you know it.
No, it's pretty certain that whomever Publius was, he certainly put forth the position held by the James Madison Administration, complete with knowledge unobtainable by any other source. How do you suppose that "Publius" knew more about the case than did James McClure's lawyer? Where would he have garnered this information? You do recall that all the pertinent details were only know to the US And French Governments? If it wasn't Madison himself, it was definitely an agent acting on his behalf and at his direction.
Figure it out.
Ah, except for the nearly HALF of the Signers of the Constitution who declared in 1790 that the children born to US citizen abroad were to be considered as "natural born citizens," directly contradicting the birther BS.
And still you are so dense as to not comprehend the difference between the words "are" and "Shall be considered as."
You can keep posting your repeated known, verified false claims and other BS for as long as Jim will tolerate you.
I believe that of the two of us, it is YOU who has been told to "back off" by Jim Robinson.
