Oh, good grief. We’ve been through this before, Sarge. months ago. The Supreme Court has not ruled on that. Go back and read the Supreme Court decisions in Minor and Wong Kim Ark, all the way through. You will see that Minor does NOT define the minimum requirements to be a natural-born citizen. The language you are referring to is used only to establish beyond doubt that Mrs. Minor was a citizen of the US. The Minor decision sidesteps the issue of the minimum requirements. For more on the subject, see Wong, in which there is extensive discussion of the intent of the authors of the Constitution, based on English common law, which would have been their background and training. Wong does not rule on the issue, but cites common law and other sources to suggest that the authors would have intended the term “natural-born citizen” to include all of those born here with few exceptions such as the offspring of foreign diplomats.

It isn’t false outrage nor are they traitors.They may be wrong about some things, but their desire is for a better America as they see it. .The case COULD be made that those who push for continuing fiscal irresponsibility are betraying the nation, but I’M not going to do it. I assume they’re just shortsighted and shallow.

Tea party didn’t exist when latest wars began.in part they caused it as a counter response to the fiscal irresponsibility they involved.That is why they did not want President Obama to commit acts of war against Syria, too expensive.

Romney would NOT have made a good president. He was the best the Republican Party could offer, but that was the most discouraging fact.

Actually, lookinside is correct that you show signs of paranoia, obsessive compulsive disorder and a disconnect from reality.Few will be surprised if you go on a killing spree.

It is bad to torture animals, even rats.People who do so ofren go on to be serial killers as they enjoy hurting people too.Please seek professional mental help.

Perhaps being born of two American citizens would have assured American citizenship, but the Constitution also guarantees it to those born in America.Please try to see reality.
