Congress' principal power to grant citizen lies under the power to established a "uniform rule of naturalization . . . throughout the United States." There actually is no other express power permitting Congress to confer citizenship. From that, I would deduce that any legislation granting citizenship is a form of "naturalization." And a "naturalized" citizen is not a "natural born" citizen. A "natural born" citizen is one who becomes so as a result of the Constitution, and only a person born in the United States is so.<BR/><BR/>By the way, I never understood McCain's reference to Barry Goldwater and a "decision" by the Supreme Court that Goldwater was eligible because born in the Arizona territory before it became a state. I know of no such decision or opinion by that court.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16743995.post-37854116665685740912008-03-07T08:43:00.000-06:002008-03-07T08:43:00.000-06:00I will admit that in some of my earlier discussion...I will admit that in some of my earlier discussions I did bring up the fact that if you or your parents have to prove anything in order for you to considered an American citizen then I could see how that could be considered something other than "natural born".Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03678897999653396527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16743995.post-4149336027572469312008-03-02T09:26:00.000-06:002008-03-02T09:26:00.000-06:00Filipino and Japanese Amerasians (G.I. babies) hav...Filipino and Japanese Amerasians (G.I. babies) have been stripped of their right to become U.S. citizens. U.S. Public Law 97-359, known as the Amerasian Immigration Act of 1982.<BR/><BR/>That's what happens when you are not a 'natural born citizen' on US soil.<BR/><BR/>Expound on that ;)<BR/><BR/>Natural Born Citizen speaks for itself, otherwise why would it be natural ?<BR/><BR/>Look at natural born baby -vs- C-section. Is there a difference ? If, "no", then Panama John is a natural born citizen and so are the Amerasians denied citizenship.<BR/><BR/>Keep telling yourself Panama John is a natural born citizen, the Supreme Court will (lol)<BR/><BR/>The truth is a big lieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
