No offense taken. I know that simpler is better. I just don’t know any simpler way to accomplish what needs to be done, given the lawlessness that Obama’s case has revealed.
Here are some of the challenges I tried to address in these bills:
1. Corrupt bureaucrats who have forged documents, broken state laws, and violated the Federal General False Statement Act but cannot be held accountable because state and federal law enforcement looks the other way.
2. State officials who refuse to obey general statements. That’s how Roger Calero got on the NJ ballot even though the NJ SOS was required to verify eligibility. Simple language is ignored. Soros knows that can always be done, which is why he is pushing for communist SOS’s.
3. Courts which deny the people justice (usually by denying “standing”) when government officials violate the rules and laws.
4. Lawyers who use procedural tap-dancing to evade critical judgments, and a judicial system that is so complicated that the only people who can maneuver within it are the people who make their living from playing games with justice.
There’s more, too, but that’s a start.
We have to realize that we’re dealing with the fallout right now from having a US Senate and House which ignore whatever laws and rules they don’t want to follow. They can do that because the laws don’t specifically state how the law will be enforced, or who has standing to sue for violations. A law that isn’t enforced doesn’t exist, for all practical purposes. So we have to establish a method of accountability also, which takes words to do.
Saving the nation is a complicated job. If nobody is up to the task of taking the time to do it then the nation will die from its own apathy. I want this to be as easy as possible, but it’s just not an easy or quick job to clean up a system that is this messed up.
I am thoroughly convinced (personally) that being born with dual citizenship rules out NBC status.
But most people are not convinced, and there is no statute or case law to resolve the issue. Therefore, your statute can be construed (rightly) as an attack on BHO's individual circumstances, rather than a tool of general application.
I think the solution is either to define NBC in the U.S. Code by statute, or remove the parental clause from your proposed statute.
