Because, as is obvious by inspection, Billy Ayers passes all the birfer tests with trampling colors!
August 2001 |
Born in Glen Ellyn, Illinois, which makes him natural born. To two citizen parents, Mary Andrew Ayers and Thomas G. Ayers, who were also natural born citizens, which makes him redundantly natural born. His daddy was a big American crony crapitalist, being CEO of Commonwealth Edison, and that doesn't hurt.
Why do I think this dude is not what Jefferson and Madison and the rest of them had in mind as Natural Born?
The intent of the NBC clause was to preclude the likes of Maximilian I of Mexico ever taking hold in the US. There is no way the Founders could ever have foreseen the likes of Barack Hussein Obama! Or Billy Ayers (if he were ever to run).
We need to stop arguing about what NBC means and agree that anybody who is a birthright citizen is eligible.
That is what SCOTUS will hold, if they are ever forced to hold.
Well, if you mean eligible....yes. Although he's a criminal and a traitor, his accident of birth makes him eligible (God help us)
Why do I think this dude is not what Jefferson and Madison and the rest of them had in mind as Natural Born?
He is, but they also would have shot him.
We need to stop arguing about what NBC means
No we don't. We need to "stop arguing" and follow the framers original intent...the meaning at the time.
and agree that anybody who is a birthright citizen is eligible.
You would accept anchor babies as candidates.
That is what SCOTUS will hold, if they are ever forced to hold.
They already did. And it's two citizen parents born on our soil. A hundred years after the signing.
OR, Cruz could've handled this legally, run for President, then Trump gracefully pick him for the VP spot under the older Trump for 8 years and then Cruz get elected as President for another 8 years.
I had it all planned out, but those 2 dumb b*stards didn't listen to me. lol.
