Wasn’t this issue raised over the candidacy of Barry Goldwater. There was, I believe, a question of his own eligibility as he was born in Arizona, BEFORE it became a state, but was a mere “territory”. He was truly born within the United States of American citizens.
Further weren’t McCain’s parents in Panama on MILITARY ASSIGNMENT. If some idiot tries to tell me that the young cousin, born on an AirForce base in Japan, where her father was stationed is NOT a “natural born citizen” of the USA, you know where they can go. I’m not sure, but I think this principle also accrues to children born of missionaries from America, temporarily in a foreign country.
The constitution doesn’t “say” anything of the sort. If the founders wanted to require that every president have two citizen parents, it could have said so in plain and clear language. It didn’t. Please also not that NOBODY raised this objection to Chester Arthur even though it was well born that he had an Irish born father.
An old friend recently forwarded an email from a local Congressional Representative. It concerned Obozo’s use of an autopen to ”sign” the extension of the so-called Patriot Act. He and his 500 member entourage were on yet another European leg of his taxpayer funded world tour. My reply to him follows.
Phil,
I share Tom’s concerns and more. Much, much more.
The alien usurper now infesting the White House MUST be turned out BEFORE the 2012 election and EVERY action he has initiated while there declared null and void.
If his occupancy of the office is allowed to stand, this country no longer has a Constitution and every member of Congress who remained silent on this matter should be handcuffed, brought back to his/her district and horsewhipped in public.
During my last 30 minute one-on-one with former Rep. John Linder about 6 years ago, he told me something I already knew. He said that the country was dangerously close to the tipping point where the number of Americans (and NON-Americans) LIVING OFF THE TAX-PAYING PRODUCERS AND BORROWED GOVERNMENT LARGESSE WOULD EXCEED 50%. When we reached the point where those non-producing citizens and non-citizens voted and/or the “progressive” apparatchiksk running the Democrat Party could stuff enough ballot boxes or jigger enough voting machines, the America we knew would be over. The “coronation” of the illegal alien in 2008 is proof that the America we knew is, in fact, over.
I pray for our children and grandchildren. Having said that, given the infiltration of “progressive” indoctrination into the government schools, they probably won’t even know that their former birthright has been stolen by the uninformed, ignorant and the lazy handmaidens of power-mad would-be despots.
“When an opponent declares, ‘I will not come over to your side,’ I calmly say, ‘Your child belongs to us already... What are you? You will pass on. Your descendants, however, now stand in the new camp. In a short time they will know nothing else but this new community’.”
Adolph Hitler Speech November 1933
Sorry to sugar coat it, but I dare not reveal how I REALLY feel lest I get a 3 am visit by the new Gestapo (aka the FBI).
”Every species of government has its specific principles. Ours perhaps are more peculiar than those of any other in the universe. It is a composition of the freest principles of the English constitution, with others derived from natural right and natural reason. To these nothing can be more opposed than the maxims of absolute monarchies. Yet, from such, we are to expect the greatest number of emigrants. They will bring with them the principles of the governments they leave, imbibed in their early youth; or, if able to throw them off, it will be in exchange for an unbounded licentiousness, passing, as is usual, from one extreme to another. It would be a miracle were they to stop precisely at the point of temperate liberty. These principles, with their language, they will transmit to their children. In proportion to their numbers, they will share with us the legislation. They will infuse into it their spirit, warp and bias its direction, and render it a heterogeneous, incoherent, distracted mass.” That xenophobic radical, Thomas Jefferson
Mr. Jefferson’s concerns go right to the heart of the vital questions of uncontrolled immigration and, in Obozo’s case, natural born citizenship, don’t they? http://www.vindicatingthefounders.com/library/notes-on-virginia-8.html
Do you only follow one line - mistranslated- out of Vattel?
Or do you actually follow what Vattel wrote?
Senate Resolution 511:
Whereas John Sidney McCain, III, was born to American citizens on an American military base in the Panama Canal Zone in 1936: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That John Sidney McCain, III, is a `natural born Citizen’ under Article II, Section 1, of the Constitution of the United States.
There wasn't a hospital on that base in 1936 it was not until 1938. So is McRino an actual NBC? This was done to protect Zero...no other reason.
