Never heard of a court calling the views of the Framers o "of little value". It takes a special kind of moron to believe such a thing. Get a grip.

Lest we forget that there are consequences for such BHO fraud and media deceit. Because of Barry, there were 3 ineligible GOP candidates for president, 2 still remain. For God's sake, Ted Cruz is a naturalized citizen in black and white in U.S. public law. Yet, nobody will ever again breathe a word about eligibility because it cannot be done without casting a shadow on Obama - and that is verboten. This is forever a non-issue.

The Natural Born Citizen requirement is the founders' zero tolerance for foreigners. It's a neon sign that foreigners need not apply. I said in 2008 that this farce would change forever the landscape for POTUS eligibility if left to stand and commie Barry was allowed to usurp the presidency. It's done. We now have three foreigners as republican candidates (Cruz, Rubio, Jindal), one of which (Cruz) was actually born in a foreign country, none of which would even be citizens at the time of ratification. Of all the things the moron in the White House has reigned upon us over the last several years, unilaterally changing the constitution for POTUS eligibility is the worst and not even an issue because the media and congress are afraid of this moron. The question now is, who isn't eligible?

Sadly.........
1. The media will certainly ignore whatever it is that might come out.
2. As with everything heretofore, nothing is going to happen, nothing.

Gallups now says they are "shooting for" March. Sounds like maybe not March - maybe not? What?

Sad. Sad.

Why is this smrstrauss allowed to spew this crap? I thought Obot idiots were banned from the site?

"Native Born is a SYNONYM for Natural Born". OMG, you ARE a MORON.

Neither of his parents were citizens when he was born.

It's Vattel dipshit.

“At common-law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was NEVER DOUBTED that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners.” The Court stated clearly that if one was not born in the country to citizen parents, one was an “alien or foreigner.” This is exactly the same way Congress dealt with children born in the United States to alien parents in its Naturalization Acts of 1790, 1795, 1802, and 1855. In these Congress said children born in the United States to alien parents were alien born and in needed naturalization.

I'm not seeing any doubt on this issue - NEVER DOUBTED can't be interpreted any other way than NEVER DOUBTED.

I am not a lawyer but those lawyers that refer to the case as precedent do so because she argued that citizenship was the basis of her right to vote and the court had to analyze the citizenship issue to make a decision, and therefore how they came down on citizenship, including NBC is central to their decision and binding on future courts.

I could be wrong, but I'm unaware of any historical precedent (SCOTUS or otherwise) that would support the obot arguments for NBC. There was no naturalization at the time of the ratification, so the suggestion that any citizenship other than parentage or grandfathering would be OK falls apart because there simply wasn't any other kind. In that scenario Barry would have to have been part of the revolution. And, most importantly if you believe that the framers would abide a POTUS that had any foreign allegiance you would have to believe they would have be OK with a Brit when they just fought a war with the British and that's pure nonsense. Of course most obots and moonbats want the constitution to evolve rather than to be interpreted as how the framers intended when it was ratified. That's just bullshit IMO, but there are at least four SCOTUS justices that would gladly go that route if they were able.

I just disagree that none of them 100% defined the issue. More than one expert believes that Minor v Happersett is precedent, and that's 100%. Every punk obot will claim that all this is dicta, but that aside M v H is very specific with respect to the definition.

This is never going to see the light of day in a courtroom unless it's after punk Barry is out of office (you know the office he's usurped). There's a possibility that then if the politics allow that something might get done. But the nixo on that will be if one of these Republican fakes would happen to get elected and then all bets are off forever.
