I respectfully disagree with your first assertion and beg to differ with your characterizaation of “birther idiots” ...
INDEED there are “idiots” among every group of people I’ve ever met.
But our Founding Fathers attempted to seriously address this matter (and it reflected their concerns that future presidents be loyal to our country). The very last thing they wanted (at least for all time after their current generation) was for a foreign (especially in their historic context, British) subject to get anywhere near the office.
But I really haven’t the time right now to pursue this, so I must apologize for that. I do trust that there are a number of others, whether you see them as “birther idiots” or not, that can answer your note in greater depth for you.
If you wish to inform yourself further on the subject, though, you may wish to start with the Supreme Court case citations I posted earlier.. reviewing them in the light of our nation’s political history. I respectfully submit that you will come away from that little exercise with the knowledge that there is at least a serious issue involved here, and that at least some of the people who raise it are not necessarily “idiots.”
Thanks, and again my sincere apologies for dropping this for now... I really, really am hard-pressed for time...
thanks for your understanding and good luck with your research. (I do like the Senator very much...so it appears we at least agree on this.) Best regards,
