Rep. John Bingham of Ohio, considered the father of the 14th Amendment, “ ... every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is, in the language of the Constitution itself, a natural born citizen...”
Bingham ( 1868) some serious warnings:
“May God forbid by the failure of the legislative power of the people to triumph over the usurpations of an apostate President, the fabric of American empire fell and perished from the earth!... have taught us all to obey the law; that none are above the law...”
The above is paraphasing comments by Bingham
OBAMA STATED THAT HE WAS BORN WITH ALLEGIANCE TO ANOTHER NATION BY HIS DUAL CITIZSHIP AT BIRTH.
THIS ALONE WOULD DISQUALIFY HIM FROM BEING PRESIDENT
From the US Supreme Court’s decision in Elk v Wilkins, 112 US 94 (1884):
“The distinction between citizenship by birth and citizenship by naturalization is clearly marked in the provisions of the constitution, by which no person, except a natural-born citizen, or a citizen of the United States at the time of the adoption of this constitution, shall be eligible to the office of president; and ‘the congress shall have power to establish an uniform rule of naturalization.’ Const. art. 2 Section 1; art. 1 Section 8
In “Minor v Happersett from 1874, the Supreme Court ruled:
“Additions might always be made to the citizenship of the United States in two ways: first, by birth, and second, by naturalization. This is apparent from the Constitution itself, for it provides that ‘no person except a natural born citizen,or a citizen of the United States at the time of the adoption of the Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President,’ and that Congress shall have power to establish a uniform rule of naturalization.’ Thus new citizens may be born or they may be created by naturalization.”
Minor v. Happersett (1874) 21 Wall. 162, 166-168
All children born in a country, of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners. Some authorities go further, and include as citizens children born within the jurisdiction, without reference to the citizenship of their parents..... all children, born of citizen parents within the jurisdiction, are themselves citizens.’ “Minor v. Happersett (1874) 21 Wall. 162, 166-168.
Was it the intent of the constitution for Children of one -citizen parents to be considered Natural Born ? NO
The issue with obama is not whether he is or is not a citizen? the question is whether or not he is qualified as a Natural born citizen due to his lack of full and complete allegaiance at birth.
We both can play the game of citing cases and quotes that appear to point towards our point of view, but that does not resolve the issue.
I know that the founding fathers wanted to make sure that there was no foreign influence in the office of the President. This is the purpose of Article 2. Does obama’s actions show a allegiance to Africa and his muslim roots. I believe they do. This is what the founding fathers wanted to protect us from.
