My comment was made up on the spot, I've always been amused that Weiner assumed the name "Savage," find it comically pretentious, that's all there is to it.

I have no idea who "Grant Gigante" is. As far as what I think the meaning of the term natural born citizen is, it boils down to no foreign entanglements via citizenship by birth. There is no question that an individual born within the country to citizen parents is a natural born citizen. As to others, there is doubt, but the question can be resolved. Individuals born outside the country to parents in the diplomatic corps are natural born citizens, because there are no other citizenship claims upon them. Individuals born outside the country in jus sanguinis countries to citizen parents are natural born citizens as well, because there are no other citizenship claims upon them.

You can play out various scenarios, a non-citizen parent for instance, and the child of such a parent can be natural born so long as birth was within the country and the non-citizen parents' nation made no jus soli citizenship claim due to being born to one of their own citizens.

That's what I believe, not that what I believe matters one whit, what matters is the Constitution and the law, neither of which are being observed regarding this particular issue. You'll find that the above interpretation does not conflict with any known case involving natural born citizenship.

I presume this answer will be sufficient to satisfy your interrogatory desires regarding the source of my opinion pertaining to the loudmouth screecher Michael Savage (nee Weiner), not that he's worth it but you asked.

Ya’ll can complain about Savage, but he is _far_ better than most _conservative_ commentators - Because they are sound asleep. No idea how serious things are.

I really wasn't interested in your understanding of Natural Born Citizen. We all have our own. I was commenting on one who pretends to be a Constitutional Scholar. (What an F'n joke!)

By "Grant Gigante," I was referring to the late, great Bob Grant. Not knowing who he was is another black mark upon you.

[Was that a racist comment?]
