Another illustration of why the Founding Fathers were wise to create a presidency where Natural Born Citizenship was one of the constitutional prerequisites for the office! Unfortunately, the hacks who largely comprise today's American judiciary seem not care - at least up to now.
Thanks! Good points.
Just more evidence that Obama is the Manchurian candidate that he does not have “his country” best interests in mind.
I would be for a Conservative Family March On Washington. Such a march could be huge if conservative people would only put their money where their mouths are — that’s how Obama won, the liberals sent him more money than McCain got from conservatives. Much, much more. Liberals are willing to financially support their heinous “principles” but conservatives wait for the other guy to do it.
Such a march would have to begin with a website where people could organize from as a starting point.
Even many Freepers were mocking the birth certificate question, so you won’t get much leverage from them on that one. ;)
Obama can’t wait to start sending US troops to face war crimes tribunals. I’m so glad the American people were tripping over themselves to elect the most obviously anti-American president we’ve ever had, just so they could pat themselves on the back for “making history”. Idiots, all of them.
Obama Citizen of the World
The "birth certificate question", or more accurately, the place of birth question (as a major determinant of natural born citizenship in the instance of Obama), is not a matter to be decided by popular vote on an Internet forum, but rather a matter of fact and constitutional law.
Be that as it may, there certainly are a lot of FReepers who agree with me and feel that the question is still very much undecided. One of those is Alan Keyes. If you check out the latest update on World Net Daily, you will see Former Ambassador Keyes' views on the issue.
As you might know, if O is proven in a court of law to be constitutionally ineligible to serve as president by reason of the "natural born citizen" clause, any action he may have taken as a usurper of presidential power can be held to be null and void. So the issue is still very much relevant.
Maybe like this?
I couldn't disagree more. Read de Tocqueville or Jefferson, or even most, if not all of the FF. They are ardent free traders that placed a high priority on limited federal government and also thought that free trade was crucial to a robust capitalist democracy.
I don't need the imperial federal government telling me what I can buy, at what price I can buy it, and from where it can be sourced.
As for the ICC. Again, I believe that every Founding Father, to a man, would be rolling over in their grave if this becomes the law of the land.
You seem to be one of the last few people on this planet that takes a small thing such as a constitution and laws seriously. Take a page from the left, any law or treaty that gives the politburo more power is good.
Good MY HINDEND! It is time for Silent Majority to be silent no more. Arise! Restore the Republic to its proper place.
NO!
In theory, possibly. But no one has / is doing anything about it, including the supposed Republican Gov. of Hawaii when she had the chance. The Supremes aren’t touching it. It’s basically a dead issue unless and until someone grows some legal balls and compels him to dig the original out from under lock and key.
