>> “yet nobody anywhere was saying this until the Fall of 2008? Doesn’t that seem...odd?” <<
.
Nobody??
Everybody I know was saying it.
You don’t get out often enough!
>> “Otherwise, there are a whole lot of military kids who are not eligible to be president since they were born in overseas hospitals. Now...you gonna tell me that the founding fathers had that in mind?” <<
.
Still trolling I see.
The founders most certainly did not have sending our military around the world to tamper in the affairs of other soverign nations in mind!
Until Obama, the Natural Born clause was well understood, as evidenced by three court decisions that cited the need for citizen parents.
Why do you wish to defaecate on our constitution?
Wrong!
Three SCOTUS decisions backed it up by specifically stating that Citizen Parents are required.
Why do you wish to defaecate on our constitution?
That is a FASCINATING LIST. thank you :)
My understanding is that George Romney’s father was not a polygamist, though his grandfather may have been.
And yet we only started to hear about it here when bloggers wrote about it in late-2008. If this was something we all already knew from school, why would you let Obama off the hook for so long?
Because genetic fingerprinting was not invented until 1985, you could find yourself being deemed not a US citizen at all if the mother was under 19 at the date of birth.
If you were deemed a non-us citizen, you couldn't get a social security number or get a passport.
What do you do if you want to work and travel Internationally, or fund your education?
Yes he is.. Then I guess Mike Duakis should not have run for President.. His parents were immigrants.
No need to sell or buy...it is the way the founders wanted it.
Unless those military babies are born in one of the fifty states or seven territories, they’re not born jus solis.
Dukakis might have been a legitimate POTUS candidate though he had immigrant parents: they were here 10-13 years before he was born, and in that time may have become naturalized citizens. I don’t know if or when his parents became American citizens, but if they were citizens by the time he was born, then he was legitimate as a POTUS candidate.
>> “If Jindal ever decides to run for president, nothing will stop him. There will be no legal ruling against him doing so and the 1% of the population who agrees with you will have no case.” <<
.
The 60% that honors the constitution will definitely have a case.
Jindal will not run anyway, but there are already 13 states that will stop him, or any other person that is not a Natural Born citizen.
Stop crapping on my constitution.
The news media are the ones that let Obama off the hook.
They refused to present the news.
Obama himself declared himself born in Kenya when running for other offices, in 2004 for one.
It’s been a common topic here since 2004.
Troll somewhere where people are less informed.
It’s my constitution too. And you’re in a very tiny minority. A person born here (other than a few special cases) is a “natural born” citizen under current law.
That’s the law. Save your breath.
No, it is you that is in a very small minority, as the polls clearly have shown.
We have the constitution on our side and the fact that at least 60% 0f us are aware of what Narural Born means.
Just being born here means nothing. The constitution is the law, and Marbury v. Madison says that you are full of $h!t.
Go back to DU or HuffingtonPuffington comPost.
You afterbirthers continue worshiping the death of the constitution.
Have you ever posted an argument that wasn’t a strawman?
One thing I have noticed in the MSM and Dem corners, is that they are listing everyone who has run for President, or a possible contender, who has immigrant parents. They are IMHO trying to confuse immigrant parents who did not become US citizens before the prospective candidate’s birth, with immigrants whom became citizens. Dukakis’ parents came here when they were 16 and 9 respectively.
i agree. everyone on here is focusing on jindal running for president and being eligible. they’re missing the point which is take a look at jindal’s BC. that is plainly and obviously a REAL BC. then look at that piece of crap obama released. the MSM and the so-called administration officials should be ashamed to even refer to it as a BC.
WHERE’S DONALD TRUMP??!!
