There are various definitions of the term “natural-born citizen.” It’s not defined in the Constitution. Supposedly, even if you were born in the US to parents who were both aliens, you would still be “natural born.”
This is the best analysis of O’s birth certificate that I’ve ever seen. This and Sheriff Arpaio’s bombshell yesterday should trigger a Congressional investigation into possible forged identity documents.
Hey, I’m all for the Sheriff’s work and I think he’s uncovering some important stuff.
I just don’t see anything to back up the claim to that statement, which is central to the argument presented.
The Constitution states ‘natural born citizen’. Being ‘natural born’ might be a given in some frame of reference but including the word ‘citizen’ makes for a specific feature. Your example includes my own birth and I have no problem not being a ‘natural born citizen’ even after service in WWII. The USA has been great to/for me even though I lost an only brother fighting on Okinawa.
People who view the condition of Natural Born Citizen in such a way, don't understand its meaning or history. That fact is made abundantly clear by the author of the piece in his opening statements.
Fact: The Framers attempted to restrict the highest office in the land to only those whose tie to The United States was as undiluted and unalloyed as possible (for obvious reasons).
The best way to ensure that the holder of the presidency was of the purest allegiance, was to restrict the holding of that office to only those who were born on US soil, to two US citizen parents.
That is the total simplicity of the Natural Born Citizen clause. There is no other complexity to it.
So the top adviser to Obama is a natural born citizen of Iran?
That would be concerning.
