I have a real problem celebrating this day when our own elected public officials could care less about the Constitution and only about themselves and what they can reap from the people.....I’ll put my heart on hold until we have those in office that will.

Then I hope and trust you support the state amendments convention portion of the Constitution’s Article V to reestablish limited government.

""And now the future is all before us, and Providence our guide." - John Q. Adams, "Jubilee"

And not one leader today recognizes this necessary ingredient for America's future liberty.

The website is fraudulent regarding Article II qualifications for president. It defines natural-born as "born in the United States or one of it's territories" with no mention of parental Citizenship (jus sanguinis - right of blood).

Note the reference to Natural Law in the first sentence of our Declaration of Independence.

It is crystal clear that the Founding Fathers used the Natural Law definition of 'natural born Citizen' when they wrote Article II. By invoking "The Laws of Nature and Nature's God" the 56 signers of the Declaration incorporated a legal standard of freedom into the forms of government that would follow.

President John Quincy Adams, writing in 1839, looked back at the founding period and recognized the true meaning of the Declaration's reliance on the "Laws of Nature and of Nature's God." He observed that the American people's "charter was the Declaration of Independence. Their rights, the natural rights of mankind. Their government, such as should be instituted by the people, under the solemn mutual pledges of perpetual union, founded on the self-evident truth's proclaimed in the Declaration."

The Constitution, Vattel, and “Natural Born Citizen”: What Our Framers Knew

The Supreme Court of the United States has never applied the term “natural born citizen” to any other category than “those born in the country of parents who are citizens thereof”.

MINOR V. HAPPERSETT IS BINDING PRECEDENT AS TO THE CONSTITUTIONAL DEFINITION OF A NATURAL BORN CITIZEN.

"The citizenship of no man could be previous to the declaration of independence, and, as a natural right, belongs to none but those who have been born of citizens since the 4th of July, 1776."....David Ramsay, 1789.

I know that you must be very proud.

I think the operative colloquial phrase is "fit to bust."

A local newspaper interviewed him, and he told the reporter "We need to remind the people that the Constitution is there to limit government, not limit the people."
