The constitution left “natural born citizen” virtually undefined and then gave the power of defining it to the Congress, AND gave them power to create all the laws necessary to bring about what they intended.

So where is Congress’ definition of “natural born citizen” then? If they’ve got one then why is there any question of what the term means? Why does everybody acknowledge that there is no passage of Constitution or law that expressly says that anybody born on the country’s soil or born to anybody who is a US citizen is a “natural born citizen”?

In the end, as passionate as we can all be about this subject, our passion means nothing. What the Constitution says, at this point, means nothing. The only thing that means anything is what SCOTUS is going to rule, and Hillary Clinton is going to challenge Ted Cruz’ eligibility if Cruz ever beats her to win the Presidency. That is just a fact. Can we agree on that? And when she challenges it, the decision will fall to John Roberts. Can we agree on that? And John Roberts is owned by the Obama regime and the handlers for the Obama regime. Can we agree on that? And they will tell Roberts to do whatever he has to, to get rid of Cruz or any other man or woman who has the gumption to do what is necessary to save this country. Can we agree on that?

It’s fun to debate stuff, but if the debate keeps us from doing what has to be done to save the country, it is DANGEROUS debate. We can’t afford that kind of debate. It is absolutely imperative that we get a court ruling on the definition of NBC so we know the rules when we choose our Presidential candidate. If you feel certain that your understanding is correct then you should welcome that. If somebody arguing with you feels certain of their view then they should welcome that. We should ALL welcome a ruling by SCOTUS. But the key, critical, absolutely essential aspect of that ruling is that it needs to come BEFORE the 2016 primary, which means we need to get busy and focus on getting ‘r done.

How can we do that? Everybody here needs to be asking how we can get a definition locked in stone BEFORE the primary of 2016 so the wily critters can’t make all our effort wasted through one single legal blow.

My suggestion is at http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3084995/posts?page=431#431 . Please, please, please, can we discuss a strategy that will work? As fun as the circular firing squad is, it will end up hurting us. We need to work together for SOLUTIONS.
