Expert: Watch loyalty, not certificate of birth
WorldNetDaily ^ | August 10, 2009 | Bob Unruh

A constitutional expert says the arguments over the definition of "natural born" citizen – a constitutional requirement for any occupant of the Oval Office – should be resolved by looking at how God instituted governments and where the person's loyalties lie.

Herb Titus, a one-time vice presidential candidate considered an expert on the U.S. Constitution, says it probably was up to the electors from the 50 states or members of Congress to make certain President Obama is a "natural born" U.S. citizen.

There is available when Congress votes on the acceptance of the Electoral College results an opportunity for those with questions to object, but that process was not used in the 2008 election.

Since then, a multitude of lawsuits have challenged Obama's eligibility to hold the highest office because of concerns over his place of birth and parentage.The U.S. Constitution requires a president to be a "natural born" citizen.

But Titus said probably the most important factor in the argument should be the president's loyalties.

"The reason for the concept of natural born citizens is so a country can't just throw you out willy-nilly," Titus told WND. "Your citizenship is in God's sovereign decision-making. You were born of certain parents.

A one-time vice-presidential candidate on the Constitution party ticket. Wow.

It doesn’t appear that anyone made certain of anything in Obozo’s case.

Look at the way Obama treats America and its people. His loyalities definately do not lie with either.

Herb Titus is actually pretty decent. I’ve read some of his legal briefs and corresponded with him on the issue of protecting marriage in the State of Texas.

However, on this one he is just flat wrong. The one underlying issue of Constitutional Construction which seems to be getting clouded in the last 30 years is that the constitution was a limitation on GOVERNMENT, NOT on the people. To say that GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS determine the eligibility and that it is not available to the PEOPLE that Constitution is supposed to govern is distorted.

Even a cursory exploration of Obama’s “family” lands one squarely in Dysfunction Junction. We’ve been suckered for some reason by this inveterate liar. All of his type end badly, but not usually before they have wreaked a good amount of damage.

"If Obama is not 'a natural born Citizen' or has renounced such citizenship, he is simply not eligible for 'the office of president' (Article II, Section 1, Clause 4). …. For neither the voters, nor the electors, nor members of the House can change the constitutional requirement, even by unanimous vote."

"Perhaps most importantly, Congress can pass no law while a usurper pretends to occupy 'the office of president,' Vieira warned. "The Constitution provides that “[e]very bill which shall have passed the House of Representatives and the Senate, shall, before it become a law, be presented to the President of the United States” (Article I, Section 7, Clause 2). Not to an usurper posturing as 'the president of the United States,' but to the true and rightful president."

Obama is doing everything in his power to change or destroy America that he can get away with. The natural born citizen clause was added to the US Constitution to prevent people like Obama from becoming the president.

His loyalties lie with his agenda not with the Constitution which he violates every chance he gets. Thus if loyalty or lack thereof is a measuring stick of natural born status, then he most definitely is not a natural born citizen.
