I don't think it ever will end. Unfortunately. Not until the Courts and/or Congress grow the ba11s to define a "natural born citizen". It is unfair to Romney, his father, McCain, Obama, Rubio, and anyone else who may ever run for this to *not* get resolved. It will either require a court to define it unmistakably or for Congress to pass a law defining it unmistakenly. I think it should say. . . "If you are born in the US, then you're a native and thus a natural born citizen. If one of your parent's is a US citizen, then geography of your birth is irrelevant and you are a natural born citizen." Period. That solves all those listed above. All are eligible.

I thought the 16th Amendment was ratified in 1913, not 1916. Was it just that it took the gov't nearly 3 years to figure out how to tax? Hard to imagine. ;)

Exactly, and Zimmerman is a registered Democrat.
None of the Founders would. :(

1913 was the end of the United States. Amendments 16 (income tax) and 17 (direct election of Senators), and the Federal Reserve Act. Downhill ever since with only a few temporary slight upticks.

So what if his biological father wasn't an American? His mother was. There's no clear definition of what a "natural born citizen" means. There's no clear definition whether "natural born" is a subset of "native born" or visa versa. I can't stand Obama, never voted for him and never will. Not because he's half-black or where he was born or where his alleged father was born. I won't vote for him because he's a big-government liberal. I'll vote and support whoever is to the right of him. I suggest you do too no matter how you lean politically.

He was fired in 2007 for research misconduct. But he filed a lawsuit (typical lib) and won $1. He's appealing.
