He IS the POTUS DC, and he may even be elected again. Whatever you think or believe...nobody who matters cares. Obsessive forum posts and the posse aren't going to change that. It either means you alone have the truth, or you are wrong. Hmm..
They only believe it's Democracy when they are in charge
... and that's what i find so fascinating about the birther madness. the ability to disregard what will logically happen and believe all/only things that support the theory of how they wish things would happen.
“Additions might always be made to the citizenship of the United States in two ways: first, by birth, and second, by naturalization. This is apparent from the Constitution itself, for it provides that ‘No person except a natural-born citizen or a citizen of the United States at the time of the adoption of the Constitution shall be eligible to the office of President,’ …
“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 [not natural born citizens; ed.] 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."
Minor v Happersett
This definition is Law. This definition mirrors Vattel in chapter 19 of the Law of Nations, which the Supreme Court wrote has been a part of our laws for over 200 years.
“My assumption and my understanding is that if you are born of American parents, you are naturally a natural-born American citizen,” Chertoff replied.
“That is mine, too,” said Leahy.
They both assumed in error if the birth occurs outside the US. You will be a "US Citizen born abroad" and have a certificate stating such, even if both parents are US citizens. And you will not be eligible to be president.
.... even if both parents are US citizens. And you will not be eligible to be president.
obviously 2008 congress felt differently about that. also that's an opinion that has yet to be supported by any congressman, judge, law professor or constitutional scholar.
are you ever going to address your depth of cognitive dissonance?
