The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Steve,

The statute you cited just repeated the exact language of the amendment, including the additional requirement, in addition to being born here, of "subject to the jurisdiction of."

I didn't see where the statute you cited defined what "subject to the jurisdiction of" actually means.

Even if Congress had its own definition of what that language means, since it's taken from a Constitutional provision, it would still be up to the Supreme Court to review Congress's definition.

Apparently that's what's going to happen later this year.

Unlike a lot of people posting here, I don't claim to have a crystal ball to know what the Supreme Court is going to do.

Also unlike a lot of people posting here, if the Supreme Court decides in favor of the U.S. born spawn of illegal aliens, I won't be upset, I won't gnash my teeth and rend my garments, and I won't declare the Supreme Court to be illegitimate Nazis just because they decided the case contrary to my feelings about what would be best for our nation.

Like lots of other things in the law, it's subject to varying interpretations.

I can almost predict you guys will declare the Supreme Court void, illegitimate, and Nazis if they decide the way Trump wants him to.

Because you guys don't believe in the Rule of Law.
