“James Kent, commentaries on the Constitution 1826-1824”
The 14th amendment passed long afterwards, and as such his commentaries are irrelevant for our purposes.
“BO’s father was an alien, not subject to the jusrisdiction of the United States”
Since when are aliens, or illegal aliens for that matter, not subject to the jurisdiction of U.S. law?
“BO was born in England, BO may have been a british subject, but he never would have been classified as a natural born british subject due to the fact his father was not of that country”
I am not familiar with British law. Perhaps they explicitly define the term. We, however, do not. Which leaves us to interpret the words according to their obvious meaning. Namely, people who are born rather than made citizens.
British common law is what all the liberal progressives use as claim to their argument that the founders used english common law when defining citizen for the people of the new country.
but as we have also noted in the past, founder & delegate to the Contitental Congress Charles Pickney stated:
“What better way to insure attachment to the country than to require the President to have his American citizenship through his American Father and not through a foreign father. Any child can be born anywhere in the country and be removed by their father to be raised in his native country. The risks would be for the child to return later in life to reside in this country bringing with him foreign influences and intrigues.”
BHO spent quite a bit of time living abroad during his formative years and that shows, without question, in his actions and symapthies to Islamic terrorists. He hid his muslim heritage & studies from the public with the help of the lame stream media and now we have a president who puts terrorists & enemies ahead of our soldiers and allies.
Our founding fathers were wise and knew of the inherent harm to the country should the executive have foreign influences and today we are seeing it happen 1st hand.
As far as Chester Arthur, he was a decorated soldier who fought under Lincoln as McCain did his service during Vietnam, but did that excuse them, absolutely not. Arthur got away with it and had McCain been elected, we would still be going through the same process, trying to remove an ineligible president according to the supreme law of the land, the US Constitution.
This is not about party politics, this is about the LAW.
