“Article II Constitutionalists”

That would be a nice change of pace. I’ve yet to meet a birther who actually accepts Article II for what it says.

Well, I can't think of a good easy name, so I'm going to revert to "birthers, npj" aka birthers not meant as a pejorative.

Eligibility purists, Eligibility types didn't seem to do it, nor does the Constitutionalist thing you suggested.

Going through this thread, several things are clear:

1. There are many kinds of birther npj's. So many of them have different opinions of who is eligible and who is not.
2. There are so many good, solid, conservative arguments against the birther npj philosophies that there is major doubt as to the veracity of the various birther npj's philosophies.
4. The article posted by Prof Jacobson here is well researched, its key points can be debated, but I've not seen any of them clearly refuted in any way shape manner or form. You may want to believe they have, but it's simply not true. He is a fine legal scholar who dug out a lot of information that is excellent.
5. There are many FR birthers npj who understand the ridiculousness of taking out one of our best candidates when the other side never gave a rats rear end if the birther npj arguments were correct or not about their own candidate.
6. There are many FR birthers npj who see the intent of the founders was to not have a divided loyalty to the Constitution and the American ideal. Cruz has no such divided loyalties, although many of his GOP opponents do, and every single rat candidate will.
7. In light of the above, most on FR would appreciate there never be another discussion on this matter of Cruz being eligible again......:-)
8. The founder of this site has weighed in, if Cruz runs those who use the birther npj philosophy against him will no longer be able to post on this site.

I disagree with where you are coming from, but it's doubtful we will resolve it, so let's agree to disagree for now and let's try to prevent as much of Bambi's heinous agenda from ruining our country as possible.
