At long last, Barack Obama Jr. released his long form birth certificate today, clearly proving he is NOT a natural born citizen. So, why has there been virtually no call in the Senate to begin impeachment proceedings? And why are so many news reporters acting as if all Obama needed to substantiate he was a Natural Born Citizen was to prove he was born in the U.S.A?
The U.S. Constitution and U.S. law, as of the time of Obama Juniors birth, still required a President to have a father (pictured top left) who was a U.S. citizen. Clearly Obamas father was a British citizen, as clearly shown on the very document Obama released.
Still not convinced? Lets take a refresher course in U.S. history. Our founding fathers didnt want any U.S. President to have mixed loyalties so they required that both parents of a President be U.S. citizens in order to qualify their son or daughter to be a Natural Born U.S. Citizen. Period. Simple. Not complicated.
Heres the exact language of the Naturalization Act of 1790, passed by the first U.S. Congress: And the children of citizens of the United States, that may be born beyond sea, or out of the limits of the United States, shall be considered as natural born citizens: Provided, That the right of citizenship shall not descend to persons whose fathers have never been resident in the United States
So there you have it. Obama is not eligible to be U.S. President and needs to be impeached and convicted quickly to avoid a constitutional crisis and to follow rule of law.
Bottom line: It doesnt matter if Obama was born in Hawaii, which was actually a U.S. Territory at the time of Obamas birth and not yet a U.S. state. What does matter is that Obama Jr.s dad Obama Sr. was not a U.S. citizen and thus rendering his sons Presidential aspirations patently illegal.
Need more proof? The founding fathers put the definition in writing from the defining documents of their day. Founding father John Jay used the definition of natural born Citizen straight from The Law of Nations (Vattel) that states: The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens
(Vattel in Book 1, Sec 212)
According to any reference “naturalized” does not mean what you think it means.
strangely enough, i am intimately familiar with the term.
my parents were naturalized, my mother after i was born.
as such, i was born a US citizen and british by descent.
i am not a natural born US citizen and am therefore not eligible for the office (the lefties can breathe a sigh of relief)
if my father was not a US citizen prior to my birth, and i was born in the US, i would have been a naturalized citizen upon birth.
You and I are in the same boat, which is why we understand the issue, and others don’t.
I am the product of a “Natural Born” American citizen mother, and a father who was, at the time of my birth NOT an American citizen. He has since become one, and been an outstanding citizen by any interpretation of desirability.
We have talked endlessly about how I am NOT eligible to be President, since, at the time of my birth, my father was NOT an American citizen.
Why anyone would believe Hussein Obama was eligible to be President is simply beyond me.
i have been attempting to recreate that saved document i can not seem to do it. How do you think this was done?
