“commonly understood definition of natural born citizen (born to two citizen parents on native soil) “
Only to you is that some kind of fact when it isn’t. It is my Constitution, too, buddy, and you don’t get to redefine its meaning based on some barracks lawyer bullshit with the mentality of a teenager, “Well, gosh , EVERYBODY just knows that’s what it means! All my friends do!”
You are posting on a thread Jim posted about the CATO writeup and you haven’t even read it.
I don't give a rip who posted this thread or what the left-leaning CATO Institute claims. If you or anyone else wants to redefine--or even define--in an amendment, the meaning of "natural born citizen," then go amend the Constitution!
You're making quite a few assumptions about me (what I have or have not read, what I think or know or have studied,etc.), and that's fine; what do I expect from a jaded, knee-jerk, which you seem to be? But, I will say that you sound just like a liberal, with your baseless hostility. I have said NOTHING hateful against Ted Cruz--I said I like him!--yet, you attack me with your vicious crap.
Work to amend Article II of the Constitution, if you don't like it.
