You argue against Madison and Hamilton, not me.

Neither defined natural born citizenship.

Search their writings all you want, they do not offer a definition.

Minor v. Happersett, in context, ^did^ define NBC as born on US soil to both a man and a woman who were citizens at the time of birth (not just ONE parent, but both).

It did not make a definition, either in its context or on an absolute basis.

It simply said that no definition of natural born could exclude Minor, since she would fit under even the narrowest conceivable definition.

The court did not say that unless one was precisely situated as Minor was one could not be a natural born citizen.

Hey...it works for you.

Why should the rest of the US ask questions?

Again, we are not butting heads on this. Obama was elected and inaugurated. Cruz can be, too, outside of any SCOTUS decision to the contrary. If Cruz runs for POTUS, and if he wins the primary, I won’t mitigate against him.

I restate, I am disappointed that so many Americans can disregard the Constitution for expediency.

But, trust me, the communists will bring this up and MOST CERTAINLY will bring up any perceived hypocrisy in the conservative base regarding the BLATANT SIMILARITIES to Obamugabe’s bona-fides.
