Congress made eight different attempts to alter our U.S. Constitution concerning the Natural Born Citizenship Clause according to research by Carl Gallups proving they knew Barack Obama lacked presidential eligibility prior to the 2008 election!
If there was no problem for Obama why would these people do this? There had never been a question of Natural Born Citizenship in our lifetimes! Why fix what wasn’t broken?
The youtube ……..reveal a secret, closed door meeting was held with eight Supreme Court Justices just prior to the January 2009 Inauguration sent our other courts an unspoken message to don’t go there. Plaintiff attorneys with cases were pending at the time were not allowed into this meeting! Only Justice Samuel Allito declined…….
“Gallups video, are the eight different attempts to amend our Constitution…. Obama’s eligibility questions: 1 On June 11, 2003: House Joint Resolution # 59, introduced by Rep. Vic Snyder (D-AR), failed to obtain a vote; it sought to allow non-natural born U.S. citizens, “but who have been citizens of the U.S. for at least 35 years,” to serve as President or Vice President.
8. On Feb. 28, 2008, Sen. Claire McCaskill, (D-MO) attempted to add language onto SB 2678, Children of the Military Families Natural Born Citizen Act, to again weaken the NBC clause.
Co-sponsors of the failed legislation were Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama!. By the way, was not the John McCain eligibility hearing really a head fake to draw attention away from the Democrats’ elephant in the room?
“This is (a) 100 times worse situation (than Watergate); this is a crime against the Constitution and all the people of the U.S. Obama is not who he says he is, ” says Charles Kerckner whose eligibility lawsuit was turned down by our Supreme Court.

That is the most convoluted bunch of BS I've yet see here.
How's jamses777?
According to some posters here, Chavez/Castro/Che/Putin/Bin Ladin/the devil his self could have a child in the US and he/she would be Constitutionally eligible.
I guess the war of INDEPENDENCE was just a catch phrase.
Can't fight/fix stupid.....
I have no idea who you’re talking about.
Understand the origin of the word and understand the applicability of it to yourself, Kansas58. Fighting liberals and RINOs your entire life is admirable, however if there is no foundation upon which to stand, only shifting sand subject to whatever way the wind blows, what is it that you’re fighting for? An opinion? One that can be overridden by Congressional vote?
No, you’re fighting for bedrock principles immutably enshrined in the Constitution that can only be amended not defined away, but you don’t grasp the nature of those principles, nor the deliberate obstacles placed in order to make altering them a difficult thing to do. You just keep trying to pull it back to the one issue, as if there is only one issue of Congressional and Executive overreach into areas that are unconstitutional.
I’ve provided you with two examples of just why your strange belief that Constitutional terms can be redefined or even altered by legislation is wrong, wrong, wrong. On issues near and dear to you, but you still don’t get it. And regrettably, you won’t.
So, enjoy the overbearing, out of control government that you’ve helped to create, in your naive belief that the Constitution can be altered via legislation. You made this bed, now lie in it. Your fighting has been flailing to no purpose, because you never understood what you were fighting for.
Play your game with some one else, obot troll.
I can think of some pretty awful people whose children would pass any birther's test for eligibility. Do you really think we should revise our legal understanding of natural born citizenship to prevent something that will never happen?
Who?
Do you really think we should revise our legal understanding of natural born citizenship to prevent something that will never happen?
Never happen, you mean like your boy obama?
The *ucker who sells this Country out every chance he gets....that guy, a foreigner?
Are you really that *ucking stupid?
“They knew that barring the presidency to all except those who were born on American soil, to two US citizen parents, was the strongest insurance they could impose against someone of divided loyalties assuming control of that office.
That is the entire simplicity of the Natural Born Citizen clause.”
Correct. If the intent of the founders was to prevent, to the greatest degree they could, the possibility of divided loyalties (and it certainly was) in the person holding the presidential levers of power, then natural born citizenship derived by birth on US soil to US citizen parents represents the gold standard. This is not difficult logic.
