It clears him. This issue? It’s dead. On to actual policy differences!


It’s only dead if the US Constitution is dead. Acrime against the Constitution has been committed, and you want to look the other way?

… or hidden away!

Keep in mind that WE ALREADY KNOW THE UNAMBIGUOUS LEGAL DEFINITION OF THE TERM-OF-ART “natural born Citizen”!! It was put into the law of this land by the United States Supreme Court decision in the 1875 Minor v. Happersett case and has never been overturned (but even has been recognized and confirmed in other cases since that time). At the time of the decision in Minor it was almost 100 years after the nation’s founding and even now 230-plus years later it still means the same thing. One simplified way of stating this is “born in the US of 2 US citizen parents”.

The actual 1875 Supreme Court opinion in Minor v Happersett:

“The Constitution does not in words say who shall be natural-born citizens. Resort must be had elsewhere to ascertain that. 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. Some authorities go further and include as citizens children born within the jurisdiction without reference to the citizenship of their parents. As to this class there have been doubts, but never as to the first. “ (emphasis added)

This means the simple “born in America of 2 citizen parents” still is the active, pertinent law of our land. It should in conjunction with A2S1C5 of the Constitution, be the law that determines Obama’s fate … of course he and the Flying Monkeys won’t agree; they’d rather just ignore or rewrite the Constitution, but I wouldn’t.

Case closed.

Usually when this is cited as proof of the “UNAMBIGUOUS LEGAL DEFINITION OF THE TERM” natural born citizen they leave off this end part.....

“Some authorities go further and include as citizens children born within the jurisdiction without reference to the citizenship of their parents. As to this class there have been doubts, but never as to the first.”

The “UNAMBIGUOUS LEGAL DEFINITION” has “doubts”?

If Hussein is "Natural Born" and eligible to be POTUS, so is the offspring of 2 illegal aliens from mexico that was born in the USA.

The "Natural Born" question needs to be answered, and soon, because this dumb son of a whore is causing a LOT of damage.

Hussein and his party are a bunch of socialist crooks who need to be run out of DC on a rail, and the press is their propaganda wing.

I guess it will be Trump who will have to bring it up, because the idiots running the GOP sure don't have the balls.
