" You gave me NOTHING that contradicted me. Your 'sources' state that the President must be 'native-born'."
__

Oh, is that right?

When Jeff Winston said "Pretty much everyone in America thinks that 'natural born citizen' and 'born a citizen' pretty much mean the same thing," you replied, "Really? Which orifice did you pull that nonsense out of?"

(http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3057103/posts?page=210#210)

Now you obviously did not pay much attention to the list I provided, but I'll quote just one of its sources for your convenience:

"Such natural-born citizen is one who is born a citizen of the United States ... A child born of parents, citizens of the United States temporarily residing abroad ... is as much a natural-born citizen as if born within its borders." (Civil Government of North Carolina and the United States, by William Joseph Peele, bold-face added)

Now, as I said earlier, I'm not claiming that any of these sources is definitive, as a piece of legislation or a court ruling might be. But they clearly indicate various individuals' views of what the prevailing understanding was at the time.

There may have been other individuals whose views were more in accord with yours, which would help to support your claim that everyone who went to school learned it your way.

But, since we've seen no evidence for that, I was hoping you could supply some.

Yes, but you already knew that, didn't you? You did take the time to read what was printed in the link that you posted?

There may have been other individuals whose views were more in accord with yours, which would help to support your claim that everyone who went to school learned it your way.

But I never claimed that, did I? and quite obviously there were others, because it was you who originally responded to one of them, with your ignorant comment.

When Jeff Winston said "Pretty much everyone in America thinks that 'natural born citizen' and 'born a citizen' pretty much mean the same thing," you replied, "Really? Which orifice did you pull that nonsense out of?"

That's right. Do you have any evidence that everyone in America actually believes that? If so, please share it, because Jeff Winston certainly doesn't, otherwise he would have posted it.
