"Although some of the reasons for maintaining the natural born citizen requirement are rational, many of the reasons are based primarily on emotion. Therefore, although globalization is one impetus that should drive Americans to rely on reason and amend the Constitution, this paper argues that common perceptions about globalization ironically will convince Americans to rely on emotion and oppose a Constitutional amendment."
Sarah P. Herlihy is employed by Kirkland & Ellis LLP http://www.kirkland.com . Note: this law firm is based in Chicago. Bruce I. Ettelson, P.C., is a Member of the finance committees for both U.S. Senators Barack Obama and Richard Durbin.
It now appears that the One World Order proponents behind Barack H. Obama have been working on this issue for a few years. They intend to thoroughly trash our Constitution and destroy the United States of America.
For a complete look at the document go to the above listed source URL. This is truly frightening.
Only traitors to the Framers intent would call this a stupid provision. Blind fools or worse.
Sounds like somebody’s gettin nervous.
Oh my.....chills up my spine.
This document along with a brief, clear explanation should be circulated widely.
I see no reason for the conservative talkers to hold back now. The plan has been in place for some time.
CITE: 10 USC Sec. 502 01/03/95 EXPCITE: TITLE 10 - ARMED FORCES Subtitle A - General Military Law PART II - PERSONNEL CHAPTER 31 - ENLISTMENTS HEAD Sec. 502. Enlistment oath: who may administer STATUTE Each person enlisting in an armed force shall take the following oath: ''I, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God!" ------------------- This oath may be taken before any commissioned officer of any armed force.
The oath refers to a valid President of the United States that meets constitutional requirements.
Of course they vehemently opposed any change when it looked like Arnold was a possible viable national candidate.
I’m beginning to think that Chicago is the root of all evil.
The most patriotic naturalized citizen...the late, great Balint Vaszonyi, was for keeping this provision.
The scenario I envisioned goes something like this.
Zero gets himself elected. (done) After taking office it’s proven that he’s ineligible to hold that office leading to a major fight in congress. The democrats refuse to remove him but fail to get a constitutional convention. The issue is left unresolved. By 2016 another foreign born presidential hopeful shows up at the supreme court demanding their “right” to run and citing the Obama presidency as a precedent set and showing that “no harm was done”.
I suspect the next foreign wannabe will be someone easily acceptable like a Canadian. (Jenny Granholm seems to be getting groomed for that job now) Next it will be a Mexican candidate and by then the free for all will be well underway.
I’m beginning to very seriously think that 0bama is NOT a natural born citizen, and that the libs have known it and started preparing for an amendment to the Constitution years ago. NO AMENDMENT!
By who?
WHERE’S THE BARF ALERT?
STE=Q
Alexander Hamilton was probably the only foreign born American citizen at the time of the adoption of the Constitution that the founders intended to be eligible to be president:
“No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.”
Martin Van Buren was the first president actually to have been born an American citizen. All prior presidents to Van Buren were born in British colonies!
That’s nice Sarah, but I believe you have your head up your tookas!
His ACORN group has been working on how to get foreigners to vote.
It's only natural to assume that the next goal is to get foreigners to be President.

Sarah,
It will need to be amended before the electors meet (Dec 15) or else your guy is not eligible.
Some women should only be seen and not heard.......
Well, they'd better try to erase the "ex-post-facto" and the "bill of attainder" provisions while they're at it.
You know if Obama was found OUT to not be a natural born citizen, congress will changes the rules.if it serves thier cause ..just like Hairy the Reid said the other day that the Senate could end up deciding the race between Frankinstein and Coleman
