It's Time for Congress to Pass the 'John McCain Rule'

A year after the election and the Democrats, the media, establishment Republicans are still apoplectic over the inauguration of President Donald Trump.

It’s obvious they hate him. When did the media stop looking at Donald Trump as an entertainment figure and begin to loathe him? True, bat-guano, off-the-charts loathing. The answer, of course, is when Donald Trump challenged President Obama to produce a birth certificate.

Even today, few things get a liberal Democrat or the media more riled up than questioning President Obama’s qualifications to be president. It’s almost (but not quite) the same level of hate and disgust as they reserve for climate deniers whom they want to strip their citizenship, stuff in a boxcar, and shuffle them to a gulag. Conservatives and Republicans have learned to just “not go there.” No good could ever come from even a rational discussion.

Isn’t the liberal hysteria a case of: They doth protest too much, methinks. What is the source of their hatred that they would do something like hiring a third party to generate a phony document in order to get back at and unseat the president?

Outside the myth-making and propaganda-making apparatus that is the media, President Obama’s story has rarely been told—without spin. Why is there even a question—isn’t it “settled science” since a birth certificate was produced? Wasn’t it all about the birth certificate? No.

Born in America (Hawaii) of a foreign father (a British subject before Kenya gained their independence) and an American mother, any lawyer in the (now defunct) Immigration & Naturalization Service would have said of the infant, “Per the U.S. Constitution, Little Barack is an American citizen.” Also, per the father’s country’s constitution, Little Barack is also a British subject or Kenyan citizen—pick one. That is how constitutions and laws work.

I actually believe Obama is a citizen because he was born of an American mother.

That does not make him a Natural Born Citizen. There are conditions for passing citizenship and they were stricter when Barry was born.

This article is yet another example of why the “Birther” argument was impossible to make.

There were many who felt the NBC requirement was too restrictive, they wanted to run Arnold, or Cruz, or Rubio.......

[eartick]

That would make him American born too.

Good now we can hand him for being a traitor. Let's get on with the trial and hanging forth with
