As far as I can tell, the only people born here who would be excluded from citizenship are children of diplomats and royalty and such, who aren’t subject to the jurisdiction of the US (which is I believe why they can’t get parking tickets).

I DID the research for over two years. What is so hard to understand, why the truth is right in front of your face?

It doesn’t matter what he meant. What matters is what he wrote; it’s not the fault of the courts if Trumbull wrote something other than what he intended.

Mods, can we keep the troll? Please?

Two years? I found this in two minutes:

Trumbull did WRITE EXACTLY what he intended, in the Civil Rights Act of 1866 (which he too authored) and was passed by the same Congress, months before the 14th amendment was passed. So, no NEED for redundancy!

1st line of the Civil Rights Act of 1866 says:  
“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;”

Skimming that clip, it all seems to be based on an argument from the 1860s under which **Indians** can’t be “natural born citizens.” Less said of that the better.

Of course he is. He has a Hawaiian birth certificate and a US passport. His election has been ratified by Congress.

Sorry to break the bad news, but your crazy-ass theories have been thoroughly debunked and the world has moved on.

hahahaha, it’s funny how I show Congressional Documents to support my facts and you still call them theories…

It wouldn’t matter if he was born on the White House steps, his father was never a citizen, which means Obama can NEVER be a Natural Born Citizen.

The person who writes bills and amendments is not the only person who has to pass them. They’re voted on by Congress and/or the state legislatures. If Trumbull couldn’t get what he wanted passed, that’s his problem.

Let’s say that I am a legislator in the State of X. I propose legislation that says, “no municipality shall tax tobacco products” and put it up for a vote. Then, during debate on my bill, I say, “by the way, I really meant ‘no municipality shall tax loose leaf tobacco’”. Another legislator says, “but that’s not what you wrote, is it? This bill will outlaw city taxes on cigarettes.”

The bill passes.

Do you think the courts will give a shit about what I said, when I didn’t bother to fix what I’d written?

I’m sorry, **BobLibDem** , but I cannot accept your argument unless you agree to capitalize random words and make up new definitions for some of them.

I propose redefining “fundamental”, “nation”, “parentage” and “Chinese”, and putting every fifth word in all caps. That oughta do it.

LOLOLOL What is this GARBAGE?

This is not the exclusive definition of what constitutes a citizen. You wishing it were so does not make it so, and nearly 150 years of legal decisions and legislation agrees with me.

Please read the rules of the website. You are not allowed to insult other posters this way (and they’re not supposed to call you names like troll or fruitcake). You need to be civil if you want to post here - or else you can just take this to The BBQ Pit, where there are fewer rules.
