Apparently, I’m not explaining myself well today, so I’m not getting into this any more except to point at my OSAS illustration.
So far as George Washington and the 1790 law, the law said that a person born overseas was an NBC....IF they met 2 provisions.
Those are generally ignored AND the implication of them. I didn’t even notice them for the longest time.
I was born in the USA of 2 citizen parents and did not have to meet any provisions.
FWIW the courts will rule that anyone born a citizen would qualify as a NBC. So this whole issue is a non sequitur. But the courts will never touch it anyway. So arguing about it at this point is like arguing about how many angels can dance on the head of a pin.
In fact arguing about how many angels can dance on the head of a pin is probably more productive and edifying than trying to convince anyone on this forum to change their minds on the NBC issue.
To some they would rather see the country destroyed from within than to elect an ineligible leader. If, in the face of the certain tyranny of a Clinton or Sanders presidency, that would be someone’s sole reason to stay home then they do not love this country.
Frankly if Maggie Thatcher were alive and on the ballot against this group of clowns, not only would I vote for her, but I’d quit my job to work on her campaign.
We have a country to save. This kind of nonsense is not going to help. We are all engaged in a circular firing squad here. Thankfully I have run out of ammunition.
