FULL TITLE: "A nation without public virtue...betrayed by their own representatives..."- First Chief Justice John Jay, President of American Bible Society

Let us not forget the wisdom of those who came before us.

It was John Jay who insisted on “natural born citizen” be added as a requirement for President. His reasoning was that no one with ANY foreign loyalties could be President.
No children of foreign nationals.
No foreign born.

Rubio, Cruz, Haley and Jindal were the future of the party and the reason for the GOP to go along with the Keyanesian Usurpation.

THEY ALL KNOW OBAMA IS INELIGIBLE.

Amen to the great God and our coming again Saviour from heaven, Jesus Christ our Lord.
In his Last Will and Testament, John Jay wrote:

“Unto Him who is the Author and Giver of all good, I render sincere and humble thanks for His merciful and unmerited blessings, and especially for our redemption and salvation by his beloved Son. He has been pleased to bless me with excellent parents, with a virtuous wife, and with worthy children.

His protection has accompanied me through many eventful years, faithfully employed in the service of my country; and his providence has not only conducted me to this tranquil situation, but also given me abundant reason to be contented and thankful.

Blessed be His Holy Name. While my children lament my departure, let them recollect that in doing them good, I was only the agent of their Heavenly Father, and that He never withdraws His care and consolations from those who diligently seek Him.”

On MAY 17, 1829, John Jay was drawing near death after a life of serving his country.

As recorded by his son, Judge William Jay, John Jay was asked if he had any words for his children, to which he responded:

“They have the Book.”

 "the rulers of the state are the servants of the people, and not the masters of those from whom they derive authority..."


That'd be WE the consenting governed.

Creepy. We need to keep this Christian stuff out of politics. Lay off the anti-trump articles.
