Obama Finance Committee Member's Lawfirm Floats "Repeal" of Natural Born Citizen Requirement
scribd.com ^ | 2006 | Sarh Herlihy

Posted on 03/03/2010 6:51:16 PM PST by capacommie

"The natural born citizenship requirement in Article II of the United States Constitution, has been called "the stupidest provision" in the Constitution...

So writes Sarah Herlihey in 2006, an associate attorney specializing in litigation at the Chicago law firm Kirkland & Ellis LLP. Kirkland law partner Bruce I. Ettelson was a “Former Member of finance committees of U.S. Senator Barack Obama.” Floating the idea of "repealing" (which cannot be done) the natural born citizenship requirement, she "acts stupidly" in insisting that it's "racist" to not consider an alien for the presidential slot.

Pinging a few of you whose names I remember!

Obviously premeditated and they know he’s ineligible. I wonder just “how” ineligible. Probably really serioulsy ineligible, if they want “aliens” to be President.

“Obviously premeditated and they know he’s ineligible.”

From “Zapem’s Blog” January 2009: “Obama Knew He Wasn’t Eligible For POTUS.” Google the title!

Senators Clinton, McCain, Leahy, Coburn, McCaskle, Obama and Representative Menendez ALL COMPICIT in the cover-up with SR 511.

Funny this brought up now that several states have considered passing laws requiring proof of citizenship to get on the ballot.

No. In fact, H*LL NO! Look where having a non-natural born citizen as President has gotten us! Fear that he’ll have to prove it is the only thing that will keep obama from running a second time. He’s already floated the idea of his being a one-term President. Well, not only does he have zero chance of being re-elected due to his performance to date... He knows he would have to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt his eligibility to even get on the ballot in many states. He is spending millions to hide his past via legal channels. There’s no way he’ll run again. He’ll make some grandiose excuse about sacrificing his career etc. for his ideals. BS. He just doesn’t want to go to prison for fraud on an unprecedented scale.

Then I guess every f*cking country out there is a racist country; because they all elect only born citizens.

I believe the penalty for treason is still hanging.

Changing it now doesn’t matter, ex post facto and all of that. It was illegal when the One took office, even if they change the constitution, it was still illegal when he took office - can’t change that inconvenient fact.
