Being born in the United States does not even make one a 'NATIVE' citizen.

Being born in the United States does not even make one a 'NATIVE' citizen.

Immigration and Citizenship: Process and Policy fourth edition Under Jus Soli, the following is written "The Supreme Court's first holding on the sublect suggested that the court would give a restrictive reading to the phrase, potentially disqualifing significant number of persons born within the physical boundries of the nation. In Elk v. Wilkins 112 U.S. 94, 5 S.CT. 41, 28 L.ED. 643 (1884), the court ruled that native Indians were not U.S. citizens, even if they later severed their ties with their tribes. The words "subject to the jurisdiction thereof," the court held, mean "not merely subjct in some respect or degree to the jurisdiction of the United States, but completely subject to their political jurisdiction, and owing them direct and immediate allegiange." Most Indians could not meet the test. "Indians born within the territorial limits of the United States, members of, and owing immediate allegiance to, one of the Indian Tribes, (an alien through dependent power,) although in a geographical sense born in the United States, are no more 'born in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof,'*** then the children of subjects of any foreign government born within the domain of that government ***. Id. at 102. It continues that Congress eventually passed legislation with the 'Allotment Act of 1887, that conferred citizenship on many Indians.

The fact remains, the Court held, complete and sole Jurisdiction. As I have held that being born anywhere in the United States, jurisdiction is required, sole and complete, and Barack Hussein Obama was already claimed by British jurisdiction under the British Nationailty Act of 1948, and as such fails the United states Constitutional requirement of a Natural Born Citizen.

“When Barack Obama Jr. was born on Aug. 4,1961, in Honolulu, Kenya was a British colony, still part of the United Kingdom’s dwindling empire. As a Kenyan native, Barack Obama Sr. was a British subject whose citizenship status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.‘s children.

Barack Hussein Obama did not have sole jurisdiction under the United States.

Title 8 and the 14th Amendment clearlt state the following;

All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof

Note: 'subject to the jurisdiction thereof'

“As a lawyer, Obama knows better than to even claim to be a Natural Born Citizen, He has always referred to himself as a Native Born citizen.”

Apparently, the Hawaii Attorney General’s office won’t even put their stamp of approval on that!

Hawaii Attorney General’s office refuses to corroborate Obama’s Hawaii Birth:

"The only way this may happen is if you are born with TWO American citizen parentS, and then assume a second citizenship afterward."

Gong!!! Buzzzzzzz!!!! Wrong!!!! No soup for you.

I was born on US soil to two citizen parents. And just BTW, they were also both born on US soil. And yet, under Italian law I am a citizen of Italy without ever assuming anything afterward.

"If you are like Obama Jr, with ONE American parent citizen and ONE British parent Subject, you will be an American citizen with a dual citizenship to the UK, but not a US Natural Born Citizen. You have DIVIDED LOYALTIES, which is EXACTLY what the Framers feared the MOST of their Commander in Chief."

I was more than 40 years old before I discovered I had been a dual citizen from birth. In the meantime I grew up, went to West Point, was commissioned in the US Army, and was shot and bled in defense of my nation. All that time, I had no clue that I was an Italian citizen too.

Pray tell... point out those divided loyalties? Exactly?

Tens of millions of Americans are dual citizens and don't even know it. Maybe even you. Divided loyalties therefore can hardly have anything to do with some foreign nation granting you citizenship involuntarily... or even with your knowledge.

Once again, you demonstrate that you do not think about these things very hard.

"So according to you The US constitution allows someone with multiple citizenships to be the President of the United States.

Please quote the article of the US Constitution that says exactly that."


Sure. Here it is. Article II, Section one.

"No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States."

You will note that it does not prohibit plumbers, ethnic Luxembourgers, bilateral amputees or dual citizens from being President.

Therefore, by an act of omission it allows plumbers, ethnic Luxembourgers, bilateral amputees and dual citizens to be President. This list is not inclusive.

If you feel it does not allow dual citizens to be President, then you must also conclude that it does not allow plumbers.

And I'd love to see you try to make that argument.

I have a simple question for you, I hope you can answer it without utilizing your never ending talent of going around in circles.

What, is the difference between a Citizen and a Natural Born Citizen?

“No person except a natural born Citizen
[natural-born citizens who are or shall be born of parents]

or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution,
[Barack Hussein Obama claims to be born in 1961, that is a far cry from being a citizen when the United States Constitution was adopted on September 17, 1787]

shall be eligible to the Office of President;

neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.”

So Barack Hussein Obama does not have US Citizen parents does he?
Nor was he a citizen on September 17, 1787, was he?

Therefor Barack Hussein Obama, the muslim, the illegal undocumented alien is not qualified, per your understanding

Richard Nixon is proof the office doesn’t allow Plumbers.

I have already proven that a Natural Born Citizen is the child of US Citizen Parents (plural) according to the laws written by the very first Congress and our founding Fathers.

As you put it then it follows by “an act of omission” if that law allows anyone Born to US citizen Parents (plural) to be exclusively Natural Born Citizens by law no matter where they are born even beyond the seas, then by an act omission, (Again) all those born within our borders to US citizen parents (plural again) are indeed Natural Born Citizens and the only type of American Citizens that can be eligible for the presidency.

"What, is the difference between a Citizen and a Natural Born Citizen?"

Citizen is a general term that includes all natural born citizens and all naturalized citizens.

Natural born citizen is a special (not general) term that excludes naturalized citizens.

(Note the symmetry. Natural vs. naturalized. It's not an accident).

"“No person except a natural born Citizen [natural-born citizens who are or shall be born of parents]"

Syc... I'm still waiting for you you to give me examples of those other natural born citizens. You know the ones. The ones who are not born of parents!!! Until you do, your entire set of comments here makes no sense whatsoever.

The only person I can think of who fits that bill was a Nazarene, not an American.

This graphic should help. As you see, the natural born citizen is inside the big circle that encompasses all US citizens. So an NBC is still a citizen but not all citizens are NBC.

Tuan Anh Nguyen v. INS - Oral Argument

Justice Ginsburg: Mr. Kneedler, if Congress went back to the way it when was everything was determined by the father’s citizenship, go back before 1934, suppose Congress accepts your argument or we accept your argument and say plenary power, they can do whatever they damn please, so they say children born abroad of fathers who are U.S. citizens can become U.S. citizens, but not children who are born abroad of U.S. citizen mothers where the father is an alien.

Now, again was Barack Hussein Obama’s daddy a US Citizen or a?

and futher on.

Justice Ginsburg: Suppose Congress wants to restore the way it was, the way it was for most of our Nation’s history, that the father’s citizenship gets transferred to the child, not the mother’s?

So even with possible citizenship from Stanley Ann, based ONLY if BHO was actually born in Hawaii, claimed but never proven. His British citizenship is sttill confired by his foreign father and that is a dual national and not free from any foreign influence and intrique. That is ‘Native’ status only and never can be a ‘Natural Born Citizen’ which requires being born in the United states to Parents who are citizens.

Yes there is symmetry but they have entire different meanings.

Just like pasture and pasteurized.

Ergo a naturalized citizen cannot be a Natual Born Citizen.

For the purposes of defining what the difference the Founding Fathers had in mind for POTUS, why did they use two wholly different terms, both with different meanings.

"I have already proven that a Natural Born Citizen is the child of US Citizen Parents (plural) according to the laws written by the very first Congress and our founding Fathers."

Unfortunately your "proof" also proves that a natural born citizen cannot be born on American soil. So forgive me for remaining entirely underwhelmed.

"As you put it then it follows by “an act of omission” if that law allows anyone Born to US citizen Parents (plural) to be exclusively Natural Born Citizens by law no matter where they are born even beyond the seas, then by an act omission, (Again) all those born within our borders to US citizen parents (plural again) are indeed Natural Born Citizens and the only type of American Citizens that can be eligible for the presidency."

See? You're getting close!!!! I knew you would if you tried hard enough.

The Naturalization Act was not a definition after all. Just as Article II is not a definition. It is silent on everything it is silent regarding... to include children born on American soil.

LOL... I'm sorry, but this is the funniest thing I have seen written on this forum all day, and I gotta tell ya, with Syc posting your competition was fierce.

"Just like pasture and pasteurized."

Now, that's just comedy gold right there!!

No, Ron... Pasteurized does not come from "pasture." It comes from the name of a man, Louis Pasteur.

Theoretically you actually could pasteurize both a pasture and a Pasteur. I don't think either would benefit from the process however.

But if you thought that was an valid analogy? Not so much.
