That we had a chief justice under FDR who tried to do what Obama has thus far managed to do, Charles Evens Hughes running against Woodrow Wilson, shows that chicanery at the highest levels is not unusual. Ironically, a future AG under FDR wrote the eloquent analysis supporting the ineligibility of Hughes. Then, Hughes wrote the decision in Perkin v. Elg which referred to Minor v. Happersett, confirming the Vattel definition - “born in the country of citizen parents.” Hughes, like Obama and Chester Arthur, had a British citizen for a father.
Is it all a game played by the elite? The Constitution keeps the serfs feeling secure enough to produce the wealth which a cabal oversees? The Constitution is being undermined, whether or not our legislature or our conservative media will even discuss the issue. The issue is weakening the influence our conservative voices have. Mark Levin endorses an AG for California who will challenge Orly Taitz, but doesn't have the courage to name her. We will see if this candidate will answer the simple question “What is the Constitutional definition of natural born citizen?” If he vacillates, we should pay no attention, in spite of all the resources he will no doubt garner.
Was it FDR or was it Teddy Roosevelt?
parsy, who isn’t sure
We have seen the government move further and further away from the Constitution for years and we have said nothing. Not only has the Constitution been diluted it has been molded to suit whatever the needs at the moment. Would anyone be surprised that the powers that be would feel very secure in putting up a candidate who is not a NBC? His mom was a citizen, in their minds that is enough.
I’m not sure I can explain this right but, I am sure defining NBC as two citizen parents would not only make Obama ineligible but it would effect so many citizens as well. Not as far as being President but their feelings of being NBC. I have seen it on these threads before, people who claim dual citizenship or their kids are dual citizens and they believe that they are NBC....the law is fine as long as it does not apply to them! God forbid people get upset! Just like we won’t enforce immigration laws, don’t want to upset anyone! Too much of a hassle!
