Good point. SMH.
So, you flatly fail to address the substance of my remark, and then engage in ad hominems and insults. If you wish to point the finger of progressivism, you could do no better than starting with the mirror.
The case for getting rid of editorials posing as journalism.
Somin is a legal academic. Orin Hatch proposed this amendment years ago. It gets proposed from time to time in Congress. I don;t have a list of them, but found half a dozen on a casual search a few days ago. Looked back to 1995 or so.
YouCon Ted agrees.
I think it’s Obama who was the nose of the camel.
I agree. Anyone could become a naturalized citizen (even some Kenyan kid from Indonesia) and do this country irreparable harm, given the right grooming, backing, and handlers.
Cruz would agree, to keep NBC. Given that he is natural-born, according to current law, there is no impact.
The most important thing is for it to be clarified.
We already got rid of it for Democrats.
Oh heck, for that matter how would the WaPo feel about Benjamen Netanyahu running for President? He has American citizenship!
JUST MORE INSANITY FROM THE WAPO. In this NWO insanity to remove all borders and throw the world into one great big stew pot with no requirements for allegiance to a country, no retention of culture, values, individuality, or right to dissension, the WAPO is right on schedule. Try to make the THINKING AMERICANS mold into stupid little robots and slaves so we no longer have any sovereignty or say so on our own country’s laws. All will be decided from cradle to grave by a few elite kings and queens and the REPUBLIC of the United States of America will exist no more.
Either we stand up and DEFEND the Constitution AS IT WAS WRITTEN, or we Lose forever our rights and privileges as independent people. The Liberal Road is directly to insanity. We have been warned. We had better listen!
Is the profanity necessary ?
I disagree. The existing requirement should be enforced. When a candidate files their paperwork, the valid documentation should be part of it.
The current requirement is rational, the framers of the Constitution put it there for specific reasons. It is entirely reasonable.
But like much of what we see going on in government, there are no penalties for ignoring the Constitution. Nobody in the elected bodies care or have the guts to say anything.
You are only as much of a valid constitutional republic as the willingness of the elected officials to follow the rules outlined in it. And they are routinely ignored. So we aren’t much better than a banana republic now.
Not only that but they did not want foreign interference in the presidential selection process. There had been numerous wars in europe, and elsewhere, as one country tried to put is favorite prince on the throne of another country.
Should Queen Noor’s kids be able to be our president?
I don’t think so.
Wow you were the one who stated you wanted “something rational and reasonable.
THAT change is NOT Original intent. It falls under the category of living document. ( the liberal democrat preference )
Once part of it goes the remainder will be open to adjustment also
Others with more legal authority might explain it better
Is an “anchor baby” a citizen by birth?
No. Pray to God no. We need to tighten requirements for public office.
I am not going to have people, including Ann Coulter, pulling this crap. When we pointed out that Barack Hussein Obama is not a natural born citizen, we were called loonies, cranks, and birthers. Now people who are communists or impressed by the bulge in Trump’s pants (I mean his wallet for Ann Coulter) do what they excoriated people such as me for. There is no Constitution anymore. We live in a post Constitutional society and we need a principled Conservative to get us back. That means a Ted Cruz or the army taking over and having a Pinochet style figure put in charge.
