It is like we live in some form of the Twilight Zone.
To be in the house the Constitution says:
•at least 25 years of age.
•a citizen of the United States for at least seven years prior to election.
•a resident of the state he or she is chosen to represent.
To be in the senate the Constutition says:
•at least 30 years old.
•a U.S. citizen for at least nine years at the time of election to the Senate.
•a resident of the state one is elected to represent in the Senate.
To be President the Constitution says:
•at least 35 years old.
•a natural born citizen of the United States.
•a resident of the United States for at least 14 years.
How come no one will directly address the issue of Natural born citizen. It doesn’t say naturalized, or just citizen - it says natural born. Natural born is someone who is born of BOTH parents that are US Citizens.
This ongoing debacle of the rule of law is incredible. The liberal progressive left doesn’t think ANYTHING applies to them.
We are truly at war with progressives in our country. This is happening on our watch.
Agreed...the questions regarding Obama's birth need answering, for the sake of future generations of those on watch.
The natural born requirment is being treated as a nulity by the courts and by all members of Congress (both the marxist democrats and the socialist republicans). It will remain a nulity until such time as a “forcing” event is successfully launched and maintained. The bets are on hoping for an honest Secretary of State in the 2012 elections. Without a forcing event that isn’t strangled in the cradle (as that will surely be the response), then nothing can be done.
The only other option is to amend the Constitution to make the meaning explicit. However ANY reliance on elected Republicans to do this is delirium. All but the freshman class of Republican socialists have proven themselves to be traitors. My sense is most of the freshmen class will also be in violation of their oath soon.
The need to replace SO MANY traitors to achieve an amendment or another type of forcing event makes an attempt to end the nulity positively sisyphean.
Ms. Cao is a hero and patriot, the only one actually today in the House of Representatives.
