Having just won a revolution, the Founders were faced with constituting a new nation. Under the constitutional plan devised by the Founders, they had to identify who were the members of the new nation. They called these members “citizens” of the United States. Thus, they created our first generation of United States “citizens.” These persons were either born abroad or in the British colonies before July 4, 1776 or abroad or in the new States thereafter, but in all cases inhabited one of the colonies or States and were loyal to the American revolution. The Founders under Article II grandfathered...

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - A Lubbock woman is suing President Obama. Dr. Penny Kelso of Lubbock and other members of the Tatriot's Heart Media Group claim that Obama's real name is Barry Soetoro. They claim he is an Indonesian citizen and therefore not entitled to be President. Dr. Kelso has not returned a call from NewsChannel 11. Meanwhile, the local chairwoman of the Democratic Party says the lawsuit lacks merit. "The birth certificate is signed, sealed, and delivered. And there's simply no debate. But there is a sense of real desperation on the part of the extreme conservative fringe of...

The relationship between President Obama and Factcheck.org has been on my mind recently as I’ve been preparing an exhaustive (and exhausting) research report pertaining to the issue of whether the President of the United States is currently a citizen or national of any other country besides the US. As far as I can tell, President Obama himself never publicly stated during or after the election that he isn’t a Kenyan citizen In a now famous report, Factcheck.org, in response to a story originally published in The Rocky Mountain News, attempted to lay rest to allegations that Obama was currently a...

Rarely, when conducting legal research does one find a historical document that is directly on point. But even more rare is to find a document which is directly on point multiple times. But that’s exactly what has happened this week. A historical document which destroys every bogus point being made by Obama POTUS eligibility supporters was recently discovered by a cracker jack team of university students from UConn. They call themselves UNDEAD REVOLUTION. They have been sending me good stuff for quite a while now. A wonderful contributor to comments at this blog – Kamira – is part of that...

Taking the birther thing to a new level, archconservative Rep. Trent Franks (R-Ariz.) is considering filing a lawsuit to put President Obama on the spot over his birth documents, according to a Mohave Daily News readout of a Franks town hall over the weekend. Oh, yeah, and Franks apparently didn't object when an audience member suggested Obama "denounced" the U.S. as a Christian nation during an overseas trip, which never happened. MDN's Jim Seckler: The other main issue dealt with numerous speakers questioning Obama's birth certificate and why there wasn't an investigation into whether he is a naturalized citizen. One...

The Law of Nations as U.S. Federal Common Law and Not English Common Law Defines What an Article II "Natural Born Citizen" Is -------- Given the profound differences between the citizenship rules associated with the English common law and those connected with American national citizenship, it is evident that the Founders did not use English common law to define what an Article II “natural born Citizen” is but rather used the law of nations for that purpose. To the extent that the English common law was relied upon in the colonies and States, that law was at the time that...

US Rep. Trent Franks, R-Arizona, held a townhall meeting in Kingman, Arizona. Some 950 people attended the boisterous event in a local church. Franks said it would take 34,000 years to pay off the indebtedness incurred by the Obama administration. He said that Obama's eligibility was one of the hottest topics that included concerns about national defense, stimulus spending, health-care bills and the "cash-for-clunkers" program. Franks is considering a lawsuit to establish Barack Obama's eligibility for the presidency. Franks said there is conflicting evidence on the question of Obama's status as a "natural born citizen." His allusion to the possibility...

There has been much talk recently about the “birthers,” those supposed right wing “crazies” who refuse to let die the issue of President Barack Obama’s qualification to hold his elected office. These birthers have been relentless in pursuing what they believe is a critical issue to our nation. In turn, they have elicited an equally potent response from Obama and his media architect, David Axelrod. The truth of the claim itself is beyond the scope to be addressed here. Much has been written in an attempt to support both sides of the argument—that Obama is or is not properly qualified...

WASHINGTON – U.S. Rep. Trent Franks, R-Arizona, told a townhall meeting in Kingman yesterday he is considering a lawsuit to establish Barack Obama's eligibility for the presidency. Franks said there is conflicting evidence on the question of Obama's status as a "natural born citizen." His allusion to the possibility of a lawsuit forcing release of Obama's original, long-form birth certificate is as far as any member of Congress has gone on this issue. The eligibility issue was one of the hottest topics at the town hall meeting that included concerns about national defense, stimulus spending, health-care bills and the "cash-for-clunkers"...

Given the profound differences between the citizenship rules associated with the English common law and those connected with American national citizenship, it is evident that the Founders did not use English common law to define what an Article II “natural born Citizen” is but rather used the law of nations for that purpose.

The other main issue dealt with numerous speakers questioning Obama's birth certificate and why there wasn't an investigation into whether he is a naturalized citizen. One woman said a newspaper announcement of his birth in Hawaii was not sufficient. Another asked how he could have a passport without a birth certificate. Franks said there was not enough evidence that Obama is not an American citizen. He did say there was a lot of conflicting evidence of Obama's citizenship and that he was considering filing a lawsuit, the only congressman to do so. Franks asked why the president did not simply...

A Meditation Especially for Fellow Christians (and those willing to think so.) Much of my thought and writing in recent days has, not surprisingly, focused on the events and issues involved in the current battle over the national, socialist takeover of the health care sector being engineered by the Obama faction. Though a discussion of health should focus on how best to strengthen and preserve life, I am struck by the deep preoccupation with killing and death the Obama faction's proposals have forced upon us. For all his hollow rhetoric of hope and compassion, the inescapable essence of Obama's actions...

Posted by constitutionallyspeaking(patlin) on August 21, 2009 Following up after a very informative debate on Wednesday evening, I set my sights to further research St. George Tucker and his commentaries on the Constitution. During the debate, the lawyer for the liberal cause was quite adamant that the 1790 Naturalization Act,even though it had been repealed, was the one law that backed his claims that Obama is constitutionally qualified under A2 S1 C5 of the Constitution. Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story who was also the founder of Harvard Law School begs to differ with the libs and wishes to set them...

...Many people say if Obama has problems with his constitutional qualifications the Clintons would have made it know. Would they now? The reason why the Clintons did not push the constitutionally disqualifying evidence of Barack Hussein Obama II is simply because they were being set up to be racists. This happened early on and continues to this day. Anyone who disagrees with the One is a racist, and an infidel. Perhaps Hillary is reminding us what her husband Bill said, when it became apparent that the undemocratic Democratic party aligned the elites behind Obama against the majority of popular votes...

Discovery hearing re. Obama’s Kenyan BC, request for depositions of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Secretary of Defense Robert Gates scheduled for September 8th, 8am.

(snip) What I would like for someone to take the time to explain is why on earth Obama doesn't ask Hawaii to send him a copy of his birth certificate with the state seal and the name of the doctor who delivered him, his weight and length at birth, the hospital where he was born and all the other information that is on everybody else's birth certificate. I don't understand why it is a crazy request, but by making it I am an idiot and a fanatic. No doubt Duke University will send someone out to repossess my diploma and...

A commenter on the post about who the birthers like- Sarah Palin- asked for a breakdown on who Republicans who do think Barack Obama was born in the United States like. Great question. 60% of those folks (the reasonable wing of the party?) have a favorable opinion of Mike Huckabee, 58% have one of Sarah Palin, 57% have one of Mitt Romney, and 52% have one of Newt Gingrich. When it comes to favorability spreads with those voters Huckabee's at +43, Romney's at +40, Gingrich is at +29, and Palin is at +27. That's because Palin's negatives with that group...

Have you ever noticed how Democrats play the "vast right wing conspiracy" card whenever the truth is more than they can bear? Hillary Clinton played that card when her husband's serial adultery started to catch up with him. The media took up her cause and set out to assist she and Bill Clinton in destroying anyone who dared to aid in the government's case against her husband for perjury and obstruction of justice. After the body count piled up on the Republican side, Bill finally gave a half-hearted admission that he had done something wrong but said he only lied...

Here is video of former GOP House Majority Leader Tom Delay on with Chris Matthews where he came right out and asked Matthews to ask President Obama to produce his birth certificate. Matthews had asked DeLay if he was a "birther," and Delay answered, "I would like the President to produce his birth certificate." Matthews proceeded to laugh at him. Delay went on to point out that Democrats had questioned whether he was a citizen of Texas, requiring him to produce proof that he was. Delay said he could produce his birth certificate and said he thought Obama ought to...

Although no evidence has surfaced placing Barack Obama's mother in Kenya at the time of the president's birth, a taped telephone conversation in which his Kenyan step-grandmother purportedly claims he was born in the coastal city of Mombasa has become an Internet hit since its submission as evidence in a lawsuit challenging the president's eligibility. Philip J. Berg, a former Pennsylvania deputy attorney general, included a transcript of the tape and sworn affidavits in a filing with the U.S. Supreme Court after lower courts dismissed as frivolous his Aug. 21, 2008, complaint alleging Obama was born in Mombasa. The Oct....

(Not only is it back, it is a "sponsored link", meaning ears is using money to pay for it to pop up first on google. Just google "Obama birth Certificate" and see.) ****** Smears claiming Barack Obama doesn’t have a birth certificate aren’t actually about that piece of paper — they’re about manipulating people into thinking Barack is not an American citizen. The truth is, Barack Obama was born in the state of Hawaii in 1961, a native citizen of the United States of America. Next time someone talks about Barack’s birth certificate, make sure they see this page.

Over the last two weeks, Taitz has been featured in a segment on Channel 10 television’s popular nightly news show “London and Kirschenbaum,” filmed a segment for the far-right Arutz 7 Web site and recorded a show for their radio channel, was featured in a three-page article in mass circulation daily Ma’ariv, and was the subject of a feature on Channel 1 TV. Israel’s Russian press has also taken notice, and interviewed Taitz for a feature for Russian radio and Israel’s Russian-language Channel 9. Taitz will also be the subject of a lengthy article in “Vesty,” Israel’s largest Russian-language newspaper.

Eligibility billboard campaign goes viral Americans make homemade 'Where's the birth certificate?' signs -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted: August 18, 2009 8:58 pm Eastern © 2009 WorldNetDaily WASHINGTON – Americans are picking up on the "Where's the birth certificate?" billboard campaign by creating their own homemade versions of the signs and displaying them on highways, byways and on their own properties.

U.S. President Barack Obama's domestic and foreign policies pose "a clear and present danger to Israel," says the driving force behind the campaign to prove Obama was not born in the United States and therefore ineligible to serve as president. The so-called "birther" movement that alleges that Obama was born in Kenya found fertile ground for publicity during the perennially slow news days of late July and early August. As cable and online news outlets devoted more and more time to the phenomenon, Israeli-American activist Orly Taitz emerged at the forefront of the campaign, and her star steadily rose until...

On August 19, Markham Robinson and Wiley Drake asked a U.S. District Court in Orange County, California, to re-enter the lawsuit Barnett v Obama, SACV09-82. This is one of the lawsuits over the constitutional qualifications to be President. Drake was the vice-presidential candidate listed on the November 2008 ballot in California for the American Independent Party, and Markham is the state chair of the faction of the AIP that supported Alan Keyes for president. The two are now represented by attorney Gary Kreep. Earlier the attorney for the other plaintiffs, Orly Taitz, had submitted paperwork that indicated Drake and Markham...

Motion set for 8/17/2009

Additional documents uncovered by WND support a previous report that President Obama's parents did not live together as husband and wife at the Honolulu address listed in birth announcements in two local newspapers. Both newspapers, the Honolulu Advertiser and the Honolulu Star-Bulletin, carried the announcement that Barack Obama Jr. was born Aug. 4, 1961, to Mr. and Mrs. Barack H. Obama, residing at 6085 Kalanianaole Highway in Honolulu, Hawaii. Additional research has established that the grandparents, Madelyn and Stanley Dunham, lived at 6085 Kalanianaole Highway, not Barack Obama Sr. and Ann Dunham.

In the lastest quirky drama of Mission Viejo attorney Orly Taitz's lawsuit to get President Barack Obama tossed from office, she has filed a motion today asking that Magistrate Judge Arthur Nakazato by removed from the case. She says that Nakazato is holding up the case by being "hyper-formalistic." On Aug. 1, Taitz filed what she said she thought was a Kenyan birth registration for Obama. You can read here about evidence indicating it's fake, but the reason Nakazato threw the filing out was because Taitz didn't have her paperwork in order.

How can an official certification of live birth be obtained if the person on the document wasn't born in the state or even in the country the document was issued? Actually, it's been done before.

AUDIO IN ISRAEL OF ORLY TAITZ ABOUT BIRTH CERTIFICATE AND EFFECT ON USA PRESIDENCY

It's not the nature of the evidence but the seriousness of the charge. When William Jefferson Blythe Clinton was impeached by the House of Representatives on December 19, 1998, most Democrats and the entirety of the mainstream media were outraged that a sitting president should be so ill-used for purely political ends. The argument made by the Clinton spin machine – and eagerly gobbled up by their slobbering allies in the media – was that the impeachment was about Mr. Clinton's private sex life, and that Prosecutor Ken Starr was simply digging up salacious material to smear Their Guy. Clinton's...

The state of Hawaii has made a series of procedural changes that would allow officials to destroy President Obama's original long-form birth certificate, concealing its contents forever. The warning comes in a report by an investigator commissioned by a retired CIA officer.

* How is it possible that that woman he claims as mother was taking classes in Seattle 15 days after his supposed birth in Honolulu? * Why wasn't the man we're told was his father there with her? * Why is it that his parents apparently never lived together as husband and wife? Was it a marriage of convenience to establish U.S. residency for a foreigner? Were they, in fact, his real parents? * Why were addresses used by his parents apparently fictitious?
