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.
Don’t agree with you. The founders DID say it in plain language of the day. Chester Arthur’s parents were permanent residents of the US, and who’s going to make an issue of it today, in any case?
There were challenges to Arthur’s eligibility at the time. Quite a few in fact. The lack of a solid paper trail (not unusual in that era) hindered the objectors efforts.
Chester Arthur lied about his age and burned his documents to make it look as if he was born AFTER his father obtained his U.S. Naturalization.
and btw, i’m not saying this, because i have a naive hope of removing President Obama this way. I DON’T.
in fact, i’m postive he will never be removed for not being a NBC. for sake of argument,
i assume President Obama -IS- a NBC !!!
US State Department records, show his Father was a bigamist, so if the marriage occurred (of which there is NO evidence), it was invalid.
and his Mother was underage. And Obama himself could claim that the birth Father was different. i agree, it is quite possible, that he IS a NBC !!!
So, if this came before the Supreme Court, i think that is exactly what would happen.
(remember Obama’s OWN lawyer stated the records were secret because it would be “embarrassing”. What might that be?)
So, Obama would just have to admit, his Father was Davis, or claim his Mother was raped, and BINGO, he -IS- a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN.
which is why i don’t usually comment on NBC threads. it’s pointless, in relation to Obama.
i am much more interested, in the CT SSN,
and why the errors on the BC like Obama Sr’s age (incorrect for 1961), and why Hawaii DOH says Virginia Sunahara doesn’t exist, when it has her in it’s birth index, etc.
i ONLY argue the definition of NBC, because i think the meaning of NBC in the Constitution is clear, and again,
even Liberals agreed with Vattel on the definition of NBC,
until Obama became President. ...as Liberal Lawyer HERLIHY said:
