In 2004, Liberals Pushed Amendment to Allow Immigrants to Run For President, May Be Trying Again?
Unspun America | October 17, 2009

As reported by wnd.com today, in 2004 a congressional committee deliberated on a plan to allow immigrants to run for POTUS. A major supporter of this plan was Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass.

"We do have now this major obstacle in the way of the voters, and we say to them, 'We don't trust you, you could get fooled, I mean, they might, some foreign country might sucker you by getting some slick person and mole him into the United States or her and get that person citizenship and then years later have that person get elected president and you'll be too dumb to notice.'

"I don't think that's accurate and I don't think that ought to be the governing principal. I really believe that the people of the United States ought to have the right to elect as president of the United States someone they wish," he said.

These comments were of course made before questions of Barack Obama's eligibility surfaced in 2008. ...

Yeah, or maybe we just people who understand American thought and that don’t have mixed loyalties.

Thank Goodness Our Forefathers saw the Bwaney Fwanks and Obozo Husseins coming along to destroy AMERICA during the Formation of Our Great AMERICA!! and Did All They Could to Protect Us and OUR AMERICA from These Demented Characters and Enemies from Within!

By the way, If OBama has truly become a Christian, Why do Muslims Love Him Instead of Treating Him as They Treat All Other APOSTATES? The answer has to be that They KNOW OBAMA Never became a Christian! Thats probably why He demanded to be Sworn In a Second Time Without the Infidel’s BIBLE!

It already happened; the psycho jimmy carter, and the rapist bill clinton were the closest to being a foreign enemy placed as president. Today, they have a kenyan muslin as president of this country.

Why bother? Our current system of "Don't ask, don't tell" works fine for them. The Constitution requires the President to be a natural born citizen, but no one asks and no one tells. It's a fait accompli.

The Dims will never stop trying to subvert the Constitution by any means necessary if it means a larger voter base for them.

So where oh where are our Troll friends? I'm ready for 'em now...

Stop bloviating about this idiocy. Passing an ammendment requires 2/3 of the states, and 2/3 of the states are not going to pass this amendment.

Spin yourself up on a real issue.

Congress can’t do this; the Constitution has to be changed and ratified. (probably RATified is a poor choice of words).

“Stop alleviating about this idiocy. Passing an amendment requires 2/3 of the states, and 2/3 of the states are not going to pass this amendment.”

AndJ, thought you a bit harsh. So I went back and PJG aka unspun. Without commentary. It’s a brief, direct and informative cut

Then back to AndJ. The only bloviation bubble is no you, seems your also short a tad of alleviating, it seems to me. Probably a bit harsh, my bad.

Its 3/4 of the states, 38 out of 50.

(Kenyan math, its 43 out of 57.)
