  • Hey, Birthers, Obama is an American. Got that?

    This is really pretty simple based on Article 2 Section 1 Clause 5 of the U.S. Constitution requiring that the POTUS must be a Natural Born U.S. Citizen:

    Born on American Soil (1 point)
    Both parents are U.S. Citizens (1 point)

    1+1=2 (qualified to be POTUS)

    We know that OBAMA Sr. was a British Citizen so it does not matter where OBAMA Jr. was born because 1+0 is not equal to 2!

    This is amazing! The west coast and the east coast except for Virginia will still be off limits! Virginia wants to drill off their coast (Republican Governor).

    The so called “Birthers” are not idiots. We are a movement that understands that OBAMA does not meet the eligibility requirements per Article 2 Section 1 Clause 5 of the U.S. Constitution in that to be eligible for POTUS you have to be a Natural Born U.S. citizen. If my respect for the Constiution of the United States makes me a moron then so be it.

    Look at the destruction that OBAMA has done on this country in one year and he has 3 more years to completely destroy this great nation. However, when the first lawsuit that challenges OBAMA eligiblility to be POTUS reaches the Supreme Court then he is done because he will be forced to step down and the Democrat Party will be dealt a blow that they will never recover from! I bet justice Sam Alito is looking forward to this!

    United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649 (1898)

    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.

    I’d like to add to these, Perkins v. Elg, the importance of which is that it actually gives examples of what a “natural born citizen” of the U.S. is; what a “citizen” of the U.S. is; and what a “native born citizen” of the U. S. is.

    In this case, the U. S. Supreme Court found that a “natural born citizen” is a person who is born of two U.S. citizen parents AND born in the mainland of U.S.

    Finally it should be noted, that to define a term is to indicate the category or class of things which it signifies. In this sense, 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.”

    Hence every U.S. Citizen must accept this definition or categorical designation, and fulfill his constitutional duties accordingly. No member of Congress, no judge of the Federal Judiciary, no elected or appointed official in Federal or State government has the right to use any other definition; and if he does, he is acting unlawfully.

    Jim,

    The eligibility issue is pretty simple. The Constitution requires that a person to be eligible for POTUS be a natural born U.S. citizen. A natural born U.S. citizen is one whose parents are U.S. citizens and is born on U.S. soil.

    txoilman to rxsid

    I have thought much about why the top conservative talk show hosts and Fox News have not taken on the eligibility issue. It is actually pretty simple since only a natural born U.S. citizen (both parents U.S. citizens and born on U.S. soil) is elibible for POTUS. Since I have learned that the conservative pundits and Fox News ratings have sky rocketed since BHO was elected POTUS, I have come to the conclusion that this all about money. If BHO is not POTUS then these folks will not be making all that dough!

    I have to turn Beck off every now and then also. He had Michele Bachmann on his radio show today and showed little respect for her. When he lumped the republican party with the democratic party I had to turn him off.

    This has nothing to do about where OBAMA was born. This is all about the Constitution of the United States and the requirement that a president has to be a Natural Born U.S. Citizen to be eligible for the office. Bottom line, this is all about whether or not the Constitution is the guide for America's future or will we go down the road to destruction. Looks like to me we are traveling on the broad road of destruction. We have a President that does not meet the requirements per the Constitution and many of his policies are in my view unconstitutional.

    Very good post and well put!!! The CONSTITUTION matters and Orly Taitz is putting her money and life on the line to defend Article 2 Section 1 Clause 5 “NO PERSON BUT A NATURAL BORN CITIZEN SHALL BE ELIGIBLE FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATUS.”

    OBAMA has spent over one million dollars to prevent the release of any information that will or will not prove that he is eligible for POTUS.

  • BP announces `giant' oil find in Gulf of Mexico

    The initial reserve estimate for this find is 3 billion barrels of oil. Usually these estimates are very conservative. This 35,000' well was drilled in 4 months since they were drilling thru a lot of salt. So the future development costs should be lower than what is normal for wells in water depths exceeding 4000'.
  • Letter - Obama born in Kenya; groomed by radicals

    txoilman to WOSG

    The simple truth is that the most important safeguard of our national security – the President of the United States – is only eligible to that office if the Constitutional requirement of a natural born citizen is met. But in our entire history of a nation, this issue has never been judicially determined.

    SCOTUS in Minor and Wong Kim Ark – both decided years after the adoption of the 14th Amendment – tell us the definition of natural born citizen is not written into the Constitution. Any attempt to simplify the issue by stating that all 14th Amendment native born citizens are also POTUS eligible on that basis is a fraudulent statement.

    The issue is in serious need of litigation. It’s in the best interest of the nation to have the issue settled. If Obama’s eligibility is not heard on the merits in our judicial system, then the answer to who is a natural born citizen will be settled by virtue of Obama being President.

    Per the United States Consitution (Article 2, Section 1, Clause 5):

    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.

    Bye the way I am not a birther. I could care less where OBAMA was born.

    Please tell me how OBAMA qualifies to be POTUS?

    I like to simply what is in Article 2 Section 1 Clause 5 of the Constitution: POTUS must be a Natural Born U.S. Citizen (NBC). A NBC is one that is born on American soil to parents that are U.S. citizens.

    Mathmatically PER THE CONSTITUTION we have:

    Born on American soil = 1.0
    Father is U.S. citizen = 1.0
    Mother is U.S. citizen = 1.0

    Based on Article 2 Section 1 Clause 5 to be qualified for POTUS: 1+1+1=3

    Here is what we know about OBAMA:

    Father is from Kenya and British citizen = 0
    Mother is U.S. citizen = 1.0
    OBAMA born in Hawaii (assumption) = 1.0

    Now we have 0+1+1=2

    Since 2 is not equal to 3 then that means based on the U.S. Constitution OBAMA is not qualified to be POTUS.

    See how simple this is.

    Bottom line AMERICAN THINKER is that the CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES IS A SACRED DOCUMENT AND MATTERS!!!!
