The Post & Email ^ | Jan. 5, 2010 | P. Patriot

Posted on 01/06/2010 6:30:17 AM PST by SvenMagnussen

(Jan. 5, 2010) — The Post & Email can publicly confirm that on the first of December, last, U.S. Congressman Nathan Deal (GA-R) challenged the eligibility of Barack Hussein Obama to hold the office of the U.S. presidency.

Todd Smith, Chief of Staff for Representative Nathan Deal of the United States House of Representatives serving Georgia’s 9th district, has confirmed today that Deal has sent a letter to Barack Hussein Obama requesting him to prove his eligibility for the office of President of the United States of America. The letter was sent electronically the first of December 2009 in pdf format, and Mr. Smith said that Representative Deal has confirmation from Obama’s staff that it has been received. The letter did not have additional signatories. It originated solely from Representative Deal.

Clinton wasn’t a Kenyan Pinko Muslim traitor that was hell bent on destroying this country. The Kenyan is one termer. I’ll put money on that.

. Nixon resigned after the House passage of allegations (impeached).

No, Nixon resigned when the House Judiciary Committee approved 3 articles of Impeachment.

Nixon, unlike Clinton, was never impeached by the House. The House brought 4 articles of impeachment against him. Nixon did have enough honor to resign, again unlike Billy Jeff.

Only two Presidents have been impeached, Andrew Johnson (Lincoln's VP) and William Jefferson Blythe Clinton. Neither was convicted in the Senate. Although in Johnson's case I believe the Senators at least looked at the evidence, and did not argue Scottish law. In fact they took over 2 months to do so, and fell only 1 vote short of conviction. There were 11 articles of impeachment. But Johnson's real "crime" was trying to "go easy" on the defeated South, as Lincoln wished to do, and being a Southerner himself.

Clinton's was lying under oath.

>>Treason is one such term; it is interesting to note that besieging DC would NOT be an act of treason under the Constitution as DC is NOT a state.
>
>But since D.C is part of the United States then yes, it would.

Let’s see what the Constitution says, here is Sec. 3 of Art. 3:
“Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted
of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.

The Congress shall have Power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted.

1) Note the plural of “them” in the sentence, obviously this indicates that the states themselves are being referenced.
2) Secondly, note that nobody is to be convicted of Treason except on a) confession in an open court, OR b) the testimonies of at least two people.
3) Section 8 of Article 1 says, in part, this:
“To exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten Miles square) as may, by Cession of particular States, and the Acceptance of Congress, become the Seat of the Government of the United States, and to exercise like Authority over all Places purchased by the Consent of the Legislature of the State in which the Same shall be”
This is referring to what would later become Washington DC; note that is is specifically NOT a state, but rather a district.
4) Note the second part of the definition of Treason: “or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort” this can be quite nicely illustrated by the so called “sanctuary cities” where the local governance acts in defiance of laws AND allows those who could rightly be considered invaders more than just a little protection.

Therefore, while an attack [by a foreign power] on DC would rightly be considered an Act of War as it is an assault upon the seat of our governance, it is not Treason for the people, or even several states, to besiege that city. Perhaps Sedition, but that has a different definition.

I still want to see the source.
Also why hasn't Keyes been more vocal about this?
It seems to me if it happened and can be reliably sourced Keyes and others would be using it.

Our whole government is lawless, yet they keep heaping laws on the citizens. Laws and taxes. Who works for whom when they can spend our money before they even have it?

He always calls FReepers names. He’s only nice all the time when he’s posting over at Kos and DU. See what a nice person this ah is?

Why would he grant it without giving the other side a chance to respond? Are you sure you aren’t clueless?
Well, keep telling yourself that stuff and we’ll see what happens in October.

She has committed political suicide. Palin will never be president, will never even be the Republican candidate for president. Bookmark this thread and see if I’m right.
Where’s the book you moron? So you can prove what you’ve been blathering about all this time.

“Obama’s campaign sent in $10 or whatever, got a standard issue COLB from Hawaii, and thought, like any normal person, that this would settle the issue. They didn’t realize they were dealing with a bunch of lunatics impervious to reality.”

So once they realized they were dealing with a bunch of lunatics why didn’t they provide the long form with the doc’s name and signature? Rather they have tied up several courts and spent large sums of money (probably taxpayers)to keep this document from seeing the light of day. From an earlier post and worth repeating, “Silence can only be equated with fraud where there is a legal or moral duty to speak or where an inquiry left unanswered would be intentionally misleading.” United States v Prudder, 424 F. 2d 1021(5thCir. 1970),cert. denied,

You get a security clearance by winning the election

No, you get to see whatever you wish without one. But you have to ask to see or be told stuff.

The Constitution allows the voter to be a colossal fool and put an absolute traitor in office if the voter is so inclined.

As in the case of Red Ron Dellums, who came within a hair's breadth of being head of the House Intelligence committee, which he would have likely become if the Dems had held onto the House in '94. He's currently mayor of Oakland CA.

Probably this should have been thrashed out before Obama entered the White House,

Folks tried, the courts and the "media" were not interested. In the later case they'd have called anyone who questioned The One's eligibility racist.

Native born' or 'natural born,'... they're all different terms for the same thing

Chief Justice Waite (in Minor v. Happersett) takes the liberty to use the terms interchangeably.

I just thought it odd that fight the smears would use the more obscure term, Native born; rather than the well known one, Natural born

. ... the Constitution identifies two specific forms of citizenship - natural born and naturalized.

Yes, and you also believe that Obama is a Natural/Native Born Citizen -- even though he admits his father was a foreign national.

Correct?

The same Chief Justice Waite (in Minor v. Happersett)indicates that the above stance is worthy of doubt, as follows:

In Minor v. Happersett Chief Justice Waite delivered the opinion of the court, which included a definition of natural-born citizens based on the common-law:

“The Constitution does not, in words, say who shall be natural-born citizens. Resort must be had elsewhere to ascertain that. 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{PLURAL} who were its citizens{PLURAL}became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives, or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners. Some authorities go further and include as citizens children born within the jurisdiction without reference to the citizenship of their parents. As to this class there have been DOUBTS but never as to the first. For the purposes of this case it is not necessary to solve these DOUBTS. It is sufficient for everything we have now to consider that all children born of citizen parents within the jurisdiction are themselves citizens.

(emphases mine)

It would seem that if Chief Justice Waite were on this forum he would be called a "birther" for indicating that such a birth as Obama's is fraught with doubt as to his (Obama's)Natural/Native Born status.
