Quote from jem:
No, I have not been looking for a change in the law... because the law has not been tested nor defined.
how many different ways can someone say, natural born citizen has not been defined by the U.S. Supreme Court. And note... on top of this Obama's eligibility for president has never been tested by a court or state body.
Now you want the Supreme Court to just give their opinion, not a ruling to change law!?
So put it this way then.
You're asking that the Court tests the understanding of the law as it stands, so the application of it will change, by specifically defining the wording used in the Constitution to expressly describe whether anyone born on US soil by a US american mother is a Natural Born Citizen or not.
And you think that a worthy application of justice in the interest of all americans
It's easy to see where this would go. Birthers hope there is a decision that a child born on US soil with both parents US citizens is the meaning of
Natural Born.
Then down the line another President, who birthers don't like either, want the Court to test whether the parents being citizens is enough to make their child Natural Born, and ask the Court to "test" whether the grandparents too must have been born themselves by two other Natural Born parents as defined, who themselves, in an unbroken line all the way back to the drawing of the Constitution, were
Natural Born.
It's not a test of law its a mockery of it.
There is little if anything in three hundred years of law that differentiates between a citizen and
natural born which leads to understand other than anyone born within the power, protection and jurisdiction of a territory, is the natural born subject and citizen of it.
