There's not a single competent historian or significant legal authority, and as far as I can tell, there never has been, who thinks...blah, blah, blah, blah. So there!" "Your move."

See? "There you go again." Boring. Same old same ol', again and again. Boring.

Would it matter how many "competent whatevers" were shown to you by anyone?
Nope, of course not. Not yet anyway. So, why play?

You just keep playing the same...old...boring...lines...over...and...over...again...and...again...boring...until my ears are bleeding, boring.

You must just be a hoot at a party.

(Just trying to help you, brother. I can see you need it. So little time left...)

Of course it would.

Particularly when it comes to our best early legal authorities.

If John Marshall, Joseph Story, James Kent, James Bayard and William Rawle were all agreed, with the support of people like James Madison, James Monroe, and various others close to the Founders, that it took birth on US soil plus two citizen parents for a person to be a natural born citizen, then I would be saying it takes birth on US soil plus two citizen parents to make a natural born citizen.

Instead, we have the exact opposite of that. They say it doesn't, so I say it doesn't.

Because I didn't start with some kind of axe to grind.
