>> “Sorry, but there’s no way you learned that in High School Govt. It’s never been true.” <<

We all learned that in the 8th grade; it is actually required in all 50 states to teach that fact, along with the rest of the constitution. The law is just being ignored these days.

Yes, Natural Born had a well known and accepted definition at the time that the constution was written, requiring two citizen parents.

So sad that traitors like you wish to defaecate on the constitution.

That is not what it meant at the time the constitution was written. The understood meaning of the phrase was based on the English common law at the time which held people born in the realm of the Sovereign were natural born citizens.

What’s really sad is that a 1998 Freeper would be an afterbirther.

So this is a common fact that we are all taught, yet nobody anywhere was saying this until the Fall of 2008? Doesn't that seem...odd?
