He's legally eligible to be our President. Get over it. Seriously.
P.S. I'm not going to watch a 14 minute video on something I already know is bogus, especially since I'm at work right now... but I've noticed a disturbing trend these days, where people actually refer to YouTube videos as "sources." I don't know what that particular video claims, but you do realize ANYONE can record & post a video on there, don't you? I hope so!
Take a listen when you get home. It's very educational about Natural Law and Positive Law and how citizenship was granted by fathers only at the time of the adoption of the Constitution.

The man has no idea what the hell he is talking about.
"Based upon the language of Article II, Section 1, Clause 4 and the guidance provided by Wong Kim Ark, we conclude that persons born within the borders of the United States are "natural born Citizens" for Article II, Section 1 purposes, regardless of the citizenship of their parents."

After listening to this educational video, the court got it wrong.

Based on what? He seems to be well versed in the founders original intent, allegiance and the reasons why the founders created Article 2 Section 1. It had to do with citizen fathers when it came to the presidency. During the founders time, you were recognized to have political rights and allegiance based on having a citizen father and that gave you the natural right to qualify for the presidency. He makes the distinctions of our law compared to the monarchy at the time of the adoption of the constitution.
...... how citizenship was granted by fathers only at the time of the adoption of the Constitution.
"Therefore every person born within the United States, its territories or districts, whether the parents are citizens or aliens, is a natural-born citizen within the sense of the Constitution, and entitled to all the rights and privileges appertaining to that capacity."

Based upon everything he has been writing for the last 4 years. He has never gotten within the same county as the Founder's and Framer's original intent.

You only believe that because your own ignorance on the subject is so intense that you are easily lead to accept anything that conforms to your prejudice.

Nope. It had to do with 300 years of Anglo-American common law under which the citizenship of the parents was irrelevant.

And that distinction is a figment of his imagination.
you may also want to try throwing a temper tantrum. works for some kids.
Let's get something straight. I wore the uniform and served in the Army for 20 years and was in serious fierce combat. You have no idea what the hell you are talking about when it comes to my character. I do not throw temper tantrums.
