More nbC Comments: More Humble Servant Responses | by Joseph DeMaio | @ ThePostEmail.com

(Feb. 13, 2024) — One of the more useful features of The P&E platform, apart from the topical articles appearing here, is the comments section.  There, some insightful and frequently robust discussions can take place where differing views can be voiced and compete with one another.  Is not the First Amendment cool, despite the efforts of many on the Left to censor and neuter its existence?

One of the topics generating some of the more spirited and robust exchanges is – that’s right, Virginia – the “natural born Citizen” (“nbC”) presidential eligibility issue under Art. 2, § 1, Cl. 5 of the Constitution.  That provision restricts eligibility (not “qualification”) to the presidency to a “natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution….”

It is assumed that most, if not all who are reading this offering, are generally familiar with the competing theories of what the nbC term actually meant to the Founders in 1787 when they were drafting the Constitution.  For a quick “refresher course,” some may wish to review this post

In addition, from time to time it is useful to explore in more detail some of the comments submitted to posts addressing the issue.  That has happened several times in the past, as for example here and here.

Such a time again presents itself regarding multiple comments offered by commenter Joe Leland to a recent article by your humble servant addressing references to the nbC issue occurring at the recent Supreme Court oral arguments in Trump v. Anderson.  That is the case where the Colorado Secretary of State is attempting to keep President Trump off the primary ballot on the claim that he is an “insurrectionist” barred under the 14th Amendment.  Your servant addressed that mile-high anomaly here.

Mr. Leland offers many comments relating to the nbC issue as discussed in your servant’s “Anderson” article, and readers are encouraged to review those comments…, and perhaps offer their own comments.

As for the present article you are reading, the objective will be to respond to and counter some selected comments offered by Mr. Leland.  There are many responses that might be made, but a complete analysis would rival “War and Peace” in length.  Your servant will offer, instead, examples and responses that would typify those for a complete novel…, but shorter. 

Ready?  Let us begin. … continue reading here: https://www.thepostemail.com/2024/02/13/more-nbc-comments-more-humble-servant-responses/
