I’m sorry it hurts so many feelings that natural born citizen is an exclusionary term meaning one can only be a US citizen and nothing else, born here of citizen parents.
Naturally a US citizen because there is no other possibility.
Barry Soetoro/Barack Hussein Obama should be proof enough of the wisdom of the founders when they tried to prevent him from being President by requiring someone who could only be a US citizen and nothing else.
Born here of citizen parents.
Naturally a US citizen because there is no other possibility.
One cannot be anything else and also be a natural born citizen.
Obama told us he was born a British Subject.
Who believes Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Jay, Monroe, Madison, etc. would have found him to be a natural born citizen?
Rubio and Cruz think they should get away with it because Barry Soetoro/Barack Hussein Obama got away with it.
Usurpation Day, January 20, 2009, happened with the complete cooperation of both parties.
They want the Constitution changed without the hassle of amending the Constitution.
The bench was the reason the GOP went along with the fig leaf resolution for McCain as cover for Obama.
Jindal, Rubio, Haley and Cruz were all up and comers and the future of the party and ineligible.
my first generation Italians grandparents were more patriotic that the current under 35 crowd has been and will ever be.
and i’m sure some of them go way way back. what good does it do?
it’s a closed minded backwards law.
I agree totally. If anchor babies can become President (Rubio being one...born here to two foreigners) who’s to say any two foreigners who perhaps hate America can arrive here, give birth to a baby, and at some time in the future that child could come here and live the requisite years in the U.S. and run for President. It is ludicrous. Cruz position is the same, it appears he was 100% Canadian as his CRBA wasn’t instigated until he was 16-17 and needed a U.S. passport to go abroad on a school trip. Thereafter, he was a dual national (American and Canadian) until 2014. I know I will take heat for this, but the Constitution is the law of the land and can only be altered by Amendment.
Plus one. Good post.
