How about using the required words at all? The Constitutional requirement is explicitly clear, "natural born citizen."

Please cite the federal law that defines "natural born citizen."

Quote it, word for word.

You'll find that it DOESN'T say what you think it does.

You will never be able to provide case law challenging what I said because it will never ever exist. And if Cruz becomes president, it will become moot anyway. No lawsuit could remove him. So, we'll see what happens. If he runs your ilk will not stop him. If he's elected, your ilk will not remove him.
It's Obama whom you really love, isn't it?

Or what it wants it to say.

You claim the law defines "natural born citizen." I've asked you to cite the law word for word and post a link to the law.

Do so now, or be proven to be a liar. Your choice.

Are they deliberately ignoring facts, as in GCharlotte's blatantly honest, in your face "It does not matter" admission?

Or are they really so dumbed-down that they have abysmal reading comprehension skills?

OK, you're being reasonable by saying "please". I'm going to stick with the premise that the exact words do not have to be used. This has been a problem for a long time. There have been a lot of efforts to change it. But why would it be a problem to Congress if it wasn't for the fact that Congress intended that statute to do what I said?

Let me ask you something. Do you think anything defines the term? My guess is that you feel that the term is either self-evident or that that Congress at the time used some other source to assume it. But I don't want to guess.

Do you think the term is defined in Supreme Law and if not what defines it?

(We can return to ad hominem after the break or not)

It says exactly what I think it does. What matters is what it means and I think it means exactly what I said. Quoting it won't change either.

In other words, if I don't agree with your position I am therefore equivalent to some evil in your mind. That's one hell of a projection and I'd talk that out with a professional.

What would happen if I agreed with you on something like abortion or gen control? Would I be two people then?

You're not relying on facts because you're out of them.
