Even Ankeny v. Daniels acknowledged that WKA was NOT ruled a natural born citizen, and Obama doesn't even meet the standards SCOTUS ruled on in WKA. Obama's father was never domiciled in the U.S.
Of course he was. He didn't get on a plane and leave the country at the end of day when classes were over. He went to sleep under a roof that sheltered a building constructed on American soil. That's domiciled. And if you're going to bring up permanent domicile--then remember that Wong's parents moved back to China. So their domicile certainly wasn't permanent.
The Civil Rights Act (on which the 14th Amendment is based according to the Senate Judiciary Committee) very clearly states:
Quote:
"Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That all persons born in the United States and not subject to any foreign power, excluding Indians not taxed, are hereby declared to be citizens of the United States"
Cue HistorianDude calling the Senate Judiciary Committee liars in ...3 ...2 ...1
As I said... If you feel so strongly about this and you want Obama to be eligible, you can work to try to Amend the Constitution. In fact, there have been no less than 24 attempts to do so since the late 19th century, and there have been several within the last decade: //www.city-data.com/forum/22532204-post76.html
You'd be fighting an uphill battle, though. NONE of the attempts to Amend the Constitution to allow someone other than a natural born citizen to be Constitutionally eligible to serve as POTUS or VPOTUS have succeeded. Not a one.
It's not my opinion; it's historical fact. I've already provided documenting links.
No, it's your interpretation of history. Your interpretation of what others meant.
And it's contrary to what is the accepted definition of "natural-born citizen." And that's current and relevant fact that trumps anything you dream up.
Coming from someone whose side has lost...every...single...time.
On procedural rulings, not on the merits of the cases.

Still haven't come up with a rational answer to anything I asked...just obfuscation and deflection.
Unlike you, I don't subscribe to the false left/right dichotomy. I've already explained why...

Seriously... take a look at what has happened to our country under the leadership of both. Bush: record deficits, record debt, crony capitalism. Obama: even higher record deficits, even higher record debt, Wall Street banksters' puppet. Both: erosion of our Constitutional rights in the name of 'national security.'
