I have read the rest. None of it changes the simple incontrovertible truth that the law you cite (in the first clause of the first sentence) awarded citizenship at birth to anyone born in the Commonwealth.
Period.
Blatantly false.
Quote:
"...and all infantswheresoever born, whose father if living, or otherwise whose mother was a citizen at the time of their birth, or who migrate hither, their father if living, or otherwise their mother, becoming a citizen, or who migrate hither without father or mother, shall be deemed citizens of this commonwealth, until they relinquish that character in manner as herein after expressed; and all others not being citizens of any the United States of America shall be deemed aliens."
Infants born to non-citizens were deemed aliens.
The first part (that confuses you ) states this:
Quote:
all white persons born within the territory of this commonwealth, andall who have resided therein two years next before the passing of this act; and all who shall hereafter migrate into the same, other than alien enemies, and shall before any court of record, give satisfactory proof by their own oath or affirmation that they intend to reside therein; and moreover shall give assurance of fidelity to the commonwealth ...shall be deemed citizens of this commonwealth, until they relinquish that character in manner as herein after expressed."
Both qualifiers had to be met.
Note the specific differences in the use of 'and' and 'or' in the statute. The use of commas and semi-colons should tip you off, as well.
“I find no proper legal or historical basis on which to conclude that a person born outside of the United States could ever be eligible to occupy the Office of the President of the United States. In other words, In my opinion, Mr. George Romney of Michigan Is Ineligible to become President of the United States because he was born In Mexico and is, therefore, not a natural-born citizen as required by the United States Constitution.â€
Note the specific differences in the use of 'and' and 'or' in the statute. The use of commas and semi-colons should tip you off, as well.
Nonsense. The conjunction is not between two qualifications. It is between two classes of person, both classes of which are citizens.
It says, "all white persons born within the territory of this commonwealth, andall who have resided therein two years next before the passing of this act."
Think about that. If both criteria were required, it means that whoever became a citizen by that set of clauses would not be citizens until they were at least two years old. It would arguably be the most stupid set of citizenship criteria ever put to paper.
Note the specific differences in the use of 'and' and 'or' in the statute. The use of commas and semi-colons should tip you off, as well.
How about instead of interpreting state statutes from 200 years ago, you tell me why you think the virtual consensus of American constitutional experts has remained silent about what you believe to be the greatest constitutional crisis of our time?
For the third time: is the virtual consensus of the legal community remaining silent because all of them (except for a handful of birthers) are ignorant about the natural born citizen clause, or are they all intentionally conspiring to remain silent and allow a fraud to continue?
Yes... they were. That's what applying "the same rule" means.
Basic English, IC. Not Birther English.
