While the birth cer5tificate is a big issue, there does not seem like much attention is given to the very long list of documentation that is also hidden.
Some time back, on Hannity and Colmes (yes, when their show was called that) Ann Coulter mentioned Obama’s other name, Barry Soetero and both Sean Hannity and Allen Colmes turned completely ashen and looked extremely scared. They immediately went to a break, but not before Ann Coulter said “What??? What did I say wrong? That was his name...Barry Soetero!”
I have never seen such a scared look on both of their faces. They would not say a word, which made me wonder what the heck was going on. No one has talked about Obama’s other name and how it was changed, and then changed again. If Bush had a name change, you can bet there would be a lot of discussion about it.
That rings a bell, I think I remember seeing that show.
Everything about this guy and his Pres__dency stinks...even Mooshelle says he stinks!
Chester Arthur is the only president prior to Obama who after the grandfather clause of Article II, Section 1, expired was not born in the United States of two citizen parents. As such, Obama supporters have sought to use Chester Arthur as precedent for justifying Obama's eligibility. Such reliance is unfounded because it wasn't known at the time Chester Arthur held office that he was born with dual nationality. That this was concealed from the general public is confirmed by two important law review articles --->> HERE
When determining whether a child born in the U.S. is an Article II natural born Citizen, the question is not whether the parents of the child are foreign born. Rather, the question is whether they are citizens of the United States at the time of the childs birth in the United States.
In other words, Mommy and Daddy had to be a U.S. citizen at the time of birth in the United States.
There have been 43 Americans that have served as President (not including Barack Obama). Ten were born before 1787. Until Martin Van Buren (who was born in 1782 or six years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence) became President in 1837 (making him the 8th president), all the Presidents had been born before 1776 to parents who, undoubtedly, at the time considered themselves to be loyal subjects of one of the British Kings. The president following Van Buren, William H. Harrison (the 9th president), was also born before 1776 to parents who were British natural born subjects. All Presidents born before July 4, 1776, were born British natural born subjects. Those early presidents were naturalized to become Citizens of the United States through the Declaration of Independence and by adhering to the American Revolution. These presidents included Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Adams, Jackson, and Harrison. Article II, Section 1, Clause 5, allowing anyone who was a Citizen of the United States at the time of the adoption of the Constitution to be eligible to be President, grandfathered these presidents to be eligible. All presidents born after 1787, except for Chester Arthur and Barack Obama, met the natural born Citizen criteria, i.e., born on U.S. soil to a mother and father who were themselves U.S. citizens at the time of the Presidents birth. Neither Arthur nor Obama were natural born Citizens at the time of birth. Arthur was born to an alien father who also made his U.S. citizen mother an alien. Obama was born to a non-U.S. citizen father who never became a U.S. citizen and, being here only on a temporary student visa, was never even an immigrant. There have been 46 Americans that have served as Vice-President (not including Mr. Biden). Ten were born before 1787. All Vice-Presidents born after 1787, except for Chester Arthur, met the natural born Citizen criteria. Fourteen Vice Presidents have gone on to be President.
The only exception to all this, apart from Barack Obama, is Chester Arthur. Chester Arthur (1881-1885), was born on October 5, 1829 in Fairfield, Vermont. His father, William Arthur, when eighteen years of age, emigrated from Co. Antrim, Ireland. His father did not become a naturalized U.S. citizen until 14 years after Chester Arthurs birth. Chester Arthurs mother, Malvina Stone, was born April 29, 1802 in Berkshire, Franklin, Vermont. Hence, Chester Arthur was born to a father who was not a U.S. citizen at the time of his birth. Because the citizenship of the wife merged into that of the husband, this made Arthur born to an alien mother and father. He was therefore born with dual citizenship of the United Kingdom and the United States. It is believed that Chester Arthur lied numerous times about his past to hide the fact that when he was born his father was not a U.S. citizen and to therefore obfuscate his ineligibility to hold Vice-Presidential and Presidential office. What is most telling is that Chester Arthur also burned all personal records just prior to his death.
Chester Arthur was challenged during his Vice Presidential bid on the ground that he was not born in the United States. No one challenged Chester Arthur on the ground that even if he were born in the United States, he was still not an Article II natural born Citizen because of his fathers foreign citizenship at the time of his birth which also made his mother an alien.
Hence, the Chester Arthur example is not and cannot be treated as any precedent since the nation was not aware of the truth about his fathers and mothers non-U.S. citizenship status at the time of his birth.
