The Obama Ballot Challenges: A Crisis of Confidence
American Thinker ^ | 2-9-12 | Monte Kuligowski

Posted on 02/09/2012 6:19:54 PM PST by STARWISE

Just a few months ago, FOX News reported on polling data which suggested that "[i]f Americans could cast a 'confidence' vote in the style of European parliaments, President Barack Obama would not fare well. A 56-percent majority would give his administration a vote of 'no confidence.'"

Ample evidence abounds for Americans to have no confidence that the economic justice activist-turned-politician is working out for the good of the country. Even at the most fundamental level, doubt remains as to whether the man occupying the White House is constitutionally eligible for the job.

"She was born with a natural, undivided allegiance to the United States."

Well done, written by an attorney.

To the more pertinent points of the article:


"Judge Malihi avoided the substantive distinctions among a naturalized citizen, a native-born 14th-Amendment citizen, and the constitutional safeguard for the presidency: the requirement of natural born citizen status.

The Supreme Court in Minor was asked to decide whether the "privileges or immunities" of citizenship guarded by the 14th Amendment gave Virginia Minor the right to vote in spite of Missouri's male suffrage laws.

The Court ruled that Ms. Minor did not need the 14th Amendment for her citizenship (and that the right of citizenship never came with an automatic privilege of suffrage). Minor's type of citizenship preceded the amendment passed (by Republicans over Democrat protest) to protect the former slaves.

The Court held that Virginia Minor was a natural born citizen. Though Missouri law denied her the vote, she could have become president. She was born with a natural, undivided allegiance to the United States."

Excellent. The reason that three branches of government stick their collective heads in the sand defies understanding. Pray for our country.

Chief Justice Waite
in Minor - Happersett

“.......At common-law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives, or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners.”

Obama returned from Indonesia as Barry Soetoro, Indonesian National, in 1971 as an Unaccompanied Minor. He was taken into Federal Protective custody and placed with Catholic Social Services of Connecticut through the Federal Foster care system.

The Soetoro Adoption was annulled. His name was changed back to Barack Hussein Obama II and a HI COLB was "filed" with the HI DoH. The adoption annulment did not change his citizenship. He became Barack Hussein Obama II, a permanent resident alien of the United States. Permanent resident aliens are qualified to obtain a SSN. Catholic Social Services of Connecticut filed on behalf of Obama for his SSN; thus, a Connecticut based SSN.

Obama remained in the custody of Catholic Social Services of Connecticut until he reached the age of majority. Barack Hussein Obama II naturalized to become a U.S. Citizen in 1983. He's ineligible for POTUS because he is a naturalized American citizen.

That fails to explain the fact that the SS# he uses was previously issued to a man born in 1890. He conveniently died in Hawaii.

Sven - where did you find this federal custody and foster care stuff? I’ve never heard of it. And the Catholic Social Services?

Thanks - Rick

sorry...in my enthusiasm at the possible addition of another Bath-House Barry nail-in-the coffin, I posted to the wrong person.

(I like your question.)

Sven,

This is your 2nd “trial baloon” on this (see link below). Until I see some substantiating evidence for this I’m treating this as either BS or posting of deliberate misinformation designed to distract from real issues. And I recommend other folk do this also. Any substantiation Sven?
