    Yes you did. However many jokes you make, it still is the requirement to be President. It matters not that you think I have a shallow take on the subject.
    You simple have no answer except bullshit. The media can feed you shit and they do. Perhaps you should change your handle to Mushroom.

    I explained, the media is not an entity...it's millions of people..all under fire from the administration since our executive branch declared war on them..sure there are fake news articles...always have been....even the KKK have a publication..as do the communists and conservatives. Trump daily declares the entire media liars....and then lies...you believe him, I don't.

    You sound like Trump talking about the media.....I guess I'm just one of millions of people who stand up and question the sanity and temperament of the president.....go ahead and love him....trust him...follow his directive to the tee.....I have no reason to....you can call my opinions bullshit all you want. Better if intelligent folks express and discuss opinion..apparently you're not wanting a conversation but would rather speechify...posting here is valid protest.

    Of course not.....never said it did, but he escalated it and brought TV ratings to a security briefing and a church pulpit...no president has ever done that....you think that was a smart thing to do?

    Give us a truthful reasoned meaning of the requirement in the Constitution of the term Natural Born Citizen. One that does not render the word Natural as a superfluous adjective.
    That was the first example of a subject the media failed to address, and this was long before Trump was a player.

    I believe Obama is an American citizen and was fully qualified to be president......now, you obviously don't because his father was not natural born although his mother was.....paternal or maternal eligibility for citizenship.......the mother didn't give up her citizenship to become Kenyan did she?

    paternal or maternal? reasoning would require you look at both.....let me give you an example...my son is eligible for Taiwanese citizenship only because he's male....if he'd been born female, he could not apply for citizenship...they only recognize male children as eligible. Our founding fathers were similar...a paternally dominant political body without female representation...that's not the world we live in now...although you may prefer that...I don't....reason some of that...now Obama's claim to citizenship was through his maternal parent.

    As an aside, I think the "natural born citizen" requirement of the Constitution is stupid. It's an unnecessary qualification.

    I will try again. I did not ask you for your belief, I asked you for your understanding of the use in the Constitution of the term Natural Born Citizen. What historical reference can you provide
    back up this understanding? This is stuff the media should have done rather than belittle people asking questions.
    Then I would ask you, why this requirement is in the Constitution? Yes, there is a reason.

    Ha! Now that is the most honest comment in this thread. No sense in asking you why it is there, hey! I think River agrees with you, he just doesn't want to say so. It might reflect poorly on him as an ex school teacher. You can't have school teachers teaching the Constitutions is unnecessary.

    but my opinions are bullshit according to you....why? simply because they don't fit your narrative...as to the thread....the media is diverse and not a single left wing dominated entity....conservatives are posting media articles all over this site supporting Trump's agenda....problem is Trump can't even be civil with the conservative media...he's even pissing them off

    Ah! Here is a smart lad! You may step forward and give us all the answer, why is the requirement, Natural Born in the Constitution?

    I'm not shy....my view of government doesn't exist in the modern world.....I've stated that many times here. I think the president should be the most qualified American we can elect....still waiting for one to run for the job...I'm married to a foreigner who's now a citizen so I'm not such a nationalist

    Sorry River, I should not have said bullshit. I will rephrase. I think you are being dishonest in not telling us what you know to be, because you do not want it to be. Just like the media.
