Actually, several were heard and rejected. At its root, he screwed up. NBC was never legally rooted in Vattel. In 1797, 10 years AFTER the Constitution, a translation of Vattel was made in Amercia which substituted NBC for “indigene” - a word that needed no translation since it is an English word as well meaning “indigenous person”. Vattel NEVER said a NBC needed two citizen parents. An indigene did, but the Constitution doesn’t require indigenous people for President.

Since Vattel was a popular and respected writer on international law, that false, post-Constitution translation entered legal thought - but it never gained traction. It was rejected as early as the 1840s, and Wong Kim Ark removed it from any serious legal consideration in the 1890s.

Folks can howl about “what I was taught” - but no competent lawyer would agree. Nor would any historian. The “two citizen parents” thing was never a part of the Constitution!

In any case, after 8 years of Obama, IT IS OVER. After 8 years of Kenyan father Obama as President, IT IS OVER.

And honestly, it was always stupid as a practical matter. Hillary meets the two citizen parent thing - is she loyal? What about Kerry? What about Diane Feinstein? There are uncounted America-hating leftist loons running around in America, all with two citizen parents. Elizabeth Warren is by anyone’s definition a NBC - and she hates America.

It is over. Find something useful to fight leftist on!
