More on Minor v. Happersett here - http://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=5117525999793250938&hl=en&as_sdt=2&as_vis=1&oi=scholarr


Quote:

The Constitution does not, in words, say who shall be natural-born citizens. Resort must be had elsewhere to ascertain that. At common-law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives, or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners. Some authorities go further and include as citizens children born within the jurisdiction without reference to the citizenship of their parents. As to this class there have been doubts, but never as to the first. For the purposes of this case it is not necessary to solve these doubts. It is sufficient for everything we have now to consider that all children born of citizen parents within the jurisdiction are themselves citizens. The words "all children" are certainly as comprehensive, when used in this connection, as "all persons," and if females are included in the last they must be in the first. That they are included in the last is not denied. In fact the whole argument of the plaintiffs proceeds upon that idea.



So the case they're citing for the definition of a natural-born citizen explicitly states that it does not need to define what a natural-born citizen is. Sounds like a publicity stunt to me.

He took the oath. He is the President. Period. End of discussion.

He even took the oath twice because nutjobs got all upset about a flub Roberts made the first time.

Oath under fraudulent pretense. The digital document that he eventually released was proven, documented and confirmed to be a fraud by a dozen independent digital document experts.


But that is okay, at 15 trillion dollars and over 100% of GDP in debt, a fraud in the White house is largely irrelevant at this point. Well except to the people in some middle eastern nation we will be bombing next year in an effort to reset some of the debt burden.

Obama is definitely President. That doesn't mean he can't be removed from office if he committed fraud in achieving the office.

good. so this means i can challenge the republican candidates qualifications and tie him up in court to ruin his chances in illinois.


sucks to be the republicans.


maybe we should challenge all the candidates qualifications under grounds that they are fatcat liars and crooks who arent fit to represent a lump of white crap let alone american citizens on the political arena.
then at voting time the ballots would be blank
