Right, because everyone knows the Founding Fathers didn't speak/read any language other than English.
(That's sarcasm, if you didn't catch the hint.)

Pointless sarcasm.... since natural born citizen is an English language phrase, and we are debating over its definition.

The jury is currently in deliberation. The prosecution asked for 2 years in prison, dismissal from the service (the commissioned equivalent of a dishonorable discharge) and full forfeiture of pay and benefits.

We will probably know in an hour or two.

John Jay can tell you. Read his letter to Washington. (Hint: It's in English.)

Wrong note. Here. Let me fix it for you.

Note to troops: do not disobey lawful orders.

The jury is now deliberating.
The defense asked for a slap on the wrist - a reprimand, “some” forfeiture of pay, no dismissal and no confinement.
The prosecution asked for dismissal, confinement for 24 months, and forfeiture of all pay and allowances.

Well, I believe that would depend on how many ducks a would-duck would duck if a would-duck could duck ducks.

How is deployment lawful when the command issued from an illegitimate CIC?
