To: EnderWiggins; STARWISE; All
Question:

What exactly do the words ‘defending our borders, our Constitution and our national sovereignty’ mean to you?

I (we) would like a direct answer and not the evasive tap-dance you gave STARWISE, as follows:

“They certainly do not mean trying to informally rewrite the Constitution to try and get rid of a President you don't like.”

I take this issue VERY seriously!

The above question is arguably the MOST important question of our time... and I(we)would like a genuine and complete answer to the question.

Your answer may rest within the bounds of the constitution and the laws on the books.

There is no need for you to make sarcastic remarks about "rewriting" the constitution.

Thank You!

Okay. The question was:

"What exactly do the words ‘defending our borders, our Constitution and our national sovereignty’ mean to you?"

"Defending our borders." A border is the line between our country and either another country or international waters. Defend means "to ward off attack; guard against assault or injury." So... defending our borders means to ward off attack; guard against assault or injury across those borders.

"Defending our Constitution." Our Constitution is the system of fundamental principles according to which the United States of America is governed. Defend means "to ward off attack; guard against assault or injury." So... defending our Constitution means to ward off attack; guard against assault or injury to the system of fundamental principles according to which the United States of America is governed.

"Defending our national sovereignty." Sovereignty is the supreme and independent power or authority in government as possessed or claimed by a state or community. Defend means "to ward off attack; guard against assault or injury." So... defending our national sovereignty means to ward off attack; guard against assault or injury to the supreme and independent power or authority in government as possessed or claimed by the United States of America.

"There is no need for you to make sarcastic remarks about "rewriting" the constitution."

It was not sarcastic. It was deadly serious. I actually respect the US Constitution and have taken an oath to defend it. I believe that the Birther movement thinks that you must destroy the Constitution in order to save it. I call BS on that.
