Puerto Rico is a Commonwealth, a Internal self-governing, unicorporated territory of the United States.

The question of whether or not a Puerto Rican is qualified under Article II to run for,and serve as POTUS is a damned good one.

Based on the strange body of law known as "The Insular Cases," IMHO, the probable answer is "NO."

BTW is Kenya, Haiti, Indonesia some of the 57-60 states Obama mentioned?

Thomas meant that: If a KENYAN can be POTUS I guess a Puerto Rican can also.

That is what Justice Thomas meant when he said we are giving you MORE OPTIONS.

SCOTUS can't do anything UNLESS it is brought in front of them. They can’t file cases to hear or make rulings without having an issue brougth to them. Meaning they are powerless to initiate actions/filings their only power is to make rulings of issues brought to them.

I bet if Tim Turner brought an Eligibility Case as a Sovereign American he would have STANDING and it Would be Heard.

KENYA RECALL OBAMA?
KENYA??
