Divided Loyalites, Obama’s Eligibility Problem — Part 1
Texas Darlin ^ | July 25, 2008 | Judah Benjamin

Posted on 07/25/2008 3:49:49 PM PDT by Amityschild

Who is eligible to be POTUS under Article II of the Constitution and why? The answer isn’t what most people think and people need to know!

People made a big ruckus about McCain’s eligibility but what about Obama? He may have held anything up to 4 other Nationalities. If a Naturalized Citizen cannot hold the Office of POTUS neither can a Dual National or a Dual Citizen.

In Part Two of the Article I shall show the evidence that leads me to think Obama has held other Citizenship.

If Obama was born in the US, there is no way he can lose his citizenship except by voluntarily renouncing it upon attaining majority. What his parents did while he was a kid (being from Kenya, moving to Indonesia) is irrelevant! So, this discussion is a waste of time.

Except for that little "if".

The US of A has a civilian Commander In Chief (CIC). A total spy and dishonest deluded meglo-maniac could be elected and sworn -- he gives an order it goes.

Well not necessarilly. While the oath of enlistment requires obeying orders, the oath that officer's take does not. Both require supporting and defending the Constitution against *all* enemies, foreign and *domestic*. Even the enlistment oath only requires obeying *lawful* orders at least by implication.

First the enlistment oath:

"I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God." (Title 10, US Code; Act of 5 May 1960 replacing the wording first adopted in 1789, with amendment effective 5 October 1962).

Then the officer's oath:

"I, _____ (SSAN), having been appointed an officer in the Army of the United States, as indicated above in the grade of _____ do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign or domestic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservations or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office upon which I am about to enter; So help me God." (DA Form 71, 1 August 1959, for officers.)

A man not need take an oath to obey G-d's law against all comers who by power of office and pride of self-purpose would demand it be put aside.

We are a nation who once elected a man because he was humble and honest -- Grover Cleveland. We have since come to love the arrogant and gilded tongue.

True, but taking an oath does focus one's thoughts. Both in the "Am I really serious about this endeavor?" (my reaction lo those many years ago), and a reminder as to one's ultimate duty.

Also, God's law tends to be interpreted differently by different people. Sorry, that's just the way it is. A common oath helps develop a common ethos. It only helps, because the uncommitted or unrighteous can mouth the words without hearing or meaning them.

When this election is over, and you’re forced to admit that this issue was NOT challenged in any venue that counts, be sure to post up that I told you the truth

Well there is one venue that counts even more than the courts. The minds of the electorate.

Affecting the electorate is worth the attempt and the bother. Even if it fails the effort must be made. You're never going to defeat Barry Hussein on the issues, because he'll flip and flop and say what he needs to say, while the MSM does their best to hide his previous positions and his associations.

All true.

Yet I am frustrated that more public voices on that claim to be wise on the Constitution are yapping about Obama's polls as if they are important, and the same ignore or deride any questions about his meeting the basic Constitutional requirement, requested by George Washington, that a President be "natural born".

Obama does not seem to met that basic requirement and deafening silence is heard on the issue. What oath to the Constitution would matter if even the masters of the day of it think polls are more important, or worse -- do NOT even know how to think about the Constitution and so rely only on the wisdom of the mob and the intellect of the pop media.

It was for emphasis, but I usually refrain from large print except for those of us with eyes “of a certain age.”

Okay by you?
