red herring and idle gossip . . . Hoyte is Guyana born
He practiced law in the Islands before returning permanently to Guyana, and for sure he didn't own a St. Lucian passport
further, it goes with saying that foreign place of birth is not Constitutionally disqualifying
and, there is a dispositive term in Article 155 . . . "act"
look it up and come again
I have looked at it and have given you my addendum....custom and preference. Common law accepts as legal what has been a practice in the society over some time with no ill consequences. We have had over a generation of acceptable practice of dual citizens in the legislature. I have also seen the PPP arguments as to JJ's eligibility for office. The APNU has many of their legislators with dual citizenship and have never seen to deem it improper. The same for the PPP. Any court has to take that long standing practice into context with protestations this time. The sole purpose is to invalidate a vote. I do not have to come again. I merely have to point out hypocrisy and the practice of lowest forms of political dark arts here in hope to avoid being booted from office.
your post is a skundle o bunt to camouflage the argument consequences of repeating idle gossip and poor information
and, Constitutionally, Janet Jagan was eligible to be President
btw, you talking pure skvnt about "Common Law" in this context
