If they did, they would put an end to birther claims once and for all.
Birthers are 0-226. There really is no need for a SCOTUS decision. It's been quite clear for years that any US citizen can be president.
They were all dismissed on procedural grounds. No standing is what the judges said. The judges also didn’t want the race card played against them by the Obama administration and media.
If we abandon the natural born citizenship clause now, it will be exploited by others who come after Mrs. Haley, who may not share her political convictions, and expose us all to the greatest threat to the Republic the founders and framers of the US Constitution, knew well, feared most, and warned us all against: the loss of our freedoms and liberties not from an external military threat but from political subversion from within our own political system.
When you stop and realize virtually all executive power in this country is held by one person as the commander in chief of the nation’s armed forces, the vast increase in speed and destructive firepower modern weapons now have over their 18th Century counterparts, and, sadly, the present invasion of illegal aliens flooding into our country (including Chinese, Russians, and Iranians to name a few) you begin to realize just how important this requirement has become in today’s turbulently shrinking world; how important it is to apply the narrowest of definitions to the “natural born citizen” requirement rather than standing on the threshold of abandoning it altogether — forever.
There is no absolute, failsafe, clause or provision that will protect the Republic from just such a fate, but if we weaken this provision now, that fate will come sooner rather than late, and future generations of Americans will look back at this time and call out our names, giving us the blame.
They love themselves some losing causes, don’t they?
