What about Fact 2 from the Left Set? What about Fact 1 from the Right Set?

And those are irrelevant. Either jus soli or jus sanguinis, by itself, is enough to make a person a citizen by birth, and (as James Bayard said and Chief Justice John Marshall approved) citizenship by birth is sufficient for a person to be, Constitutionally, a "natural born citizen" for Article II Presidential eligibility purposes.

You've got your choice. You can either hold to the birther theory of what a natural born citizen "must" be, or you can hold to the Founding Fathers, our history, our laws, and the Constitution.

You just can't have both.

You haven’t addressed a single point.

Good bye.

Bayard? Really?

Why don't you address a point?

Bayard was a US district attorney for six years before becoming a full time politician.

Compare with Samuel Roberts who you've previously belittled as "little several-counties-judge Samuel Roberts".

Roberts was admitted to the bar of Philadelphia county 1793, was commissioned president judge of the Fifth Judicial District June 2, 1803 and presided until his death in 1820.

While upon the bench for 17 years he wrote and published “Roberts’ Digest of British Statutes in Force in Pennsylvania,” a work well known to the profession, the last edition of which was published in 1847.

What did Roberts say? Read it:


Yeah that's right, mine's bigger than yours. All day any day. All you seem to care about is "authority". Well "my authority is better than yours" Roberts wipes the deck with Bayard.

Sarcasm aside, why don't you address a point? Hmm? You can't. You just throw out "you're a 'birther'" crap.

You don't understand venn diagrams, you cop one and screw it up, and can't even recognize that your position has internal conflicts.

Address a point.
