2016 Presidential Race

[Diamondback 2/2]

The ironic thing is that the first few presidents of the USA were all British citizens at birth.

That's a bit of a play of words, as the colony's were British territory, thus they were born as British citizens. However, they were born CONUS.

A more interesting issue is what is a natural born person vs an unnatural born person?

 

[SpitfireV]

It's still ironic they'd set laws like that though.

Unnatural born...could be Trump or Clinton really...

CONUS was Britain. Also the law doesn't state that you have to be born CONUS, so that's meaningless.

The following Presidents were born British subjects before the establishment of the United States:

• George Washington
• John Adams
• Thomas Jefferson
• James Madison
• James Monroe
• John Quincy Adams
• Andrew Jackson
• William Henry Harrison

Yeah I thought I covered that, with the whole British territory comment...but challenged it with the fact that the presidents were born in the current formed territory of United States?

Anyway.

Which makes makes no sense...

They were born in Britain, were British citizens, became traitors, and formed a new country and made a new set of laws.

But Nobama was born in Kenya, he can't be president.


Vote Cruz 2016

All said tongue in cheek.

 

[Brill]

But Nobama was born in Kenya, he can't be president.

Why did he take so long to put the "controversy" to rest?

The "controversy" was created by idiots.

Exactly! Kinda like the current one, huh?

This, and Hillary's shit, is EXACTLY why Trump is maxing capacity at various venues. Joe Six Pack is sick of this crap.

 

[Jay_Pew]

Did anyone watch the debate last night? Solid performance by many of the cannidates.

So I'm 80% sure Ted Cruz is a closeted homosexual. Listen to some of his speeches where he rants on and on about it, almost as if hes afraid of his own tendencies. I think he is another Ted Haggard in the making.

I really wanted to like Ben Carson, I was so happy we were going to have a science literate candidate. Turns out hes not at all...

Long is the transition, and hard
That from wonder leads to fetish.

Perhaps an answer? Cutting is better than ripping.
Is the doctor in?

I hate it when you make me learn and stuff.

No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.

Relevant portion in bold. "at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution" modifies the second clause only.

Are we seriously debating the Founding Father's legitimacy based upon their birth place? I wonder if a LexisNexis search of Poor Richard's Almanac will yield evidence of a Birther conspiracy...

Well, since you brought it up...

I jest surely.

You'd argue with a rock about granite before calling it a cunt and leaving to have a beer.

No I wouldn't!

You Cunt.

Right oh, off for a beer!
