Divided Loyalties, Obama’s Eligibility Problem, PART 2
Texas Darlin ^ | July 26, 2008 | Judah Benjamin

Posted on 07/26/2008 4:23:30 AM PDT by Amityschild

NOTE by TexasDarlin:

This is the second article in a two-part series by Judah Benjamin challenging the Constitutionality of Barack Obama’s bid for President.

This article was preceded by my Foreword, and by the author’s Part 1, which explores the legal history and definition of “natural born citizen” under Article II of the US Constitution. Those two posts should be read first, and in full.

Part 2 explores the factual basis for Barack Obama’s dual citizenship, and concludes that he has been a citizen of at least two countries, and therefore is ineligible to be President.

Long read...a snip...

This, in plain terms means that a Dual National could not, under any circumstances, be Eligible. Additionally, if Naturalized Citizens are Ineligible because of the Legal principle of “The Appearance of Foreign Allegiance” which they are, and always have been, a former Dual National/Dual Citizen MUST be in exactly the same position vis a vis Article II.

Senator Obama has created this problem. It is purely and absolutely his own fault that he has not “come clean” about his childhood, youth and background. If a problem exists, he didn’t initially create it but he has covered it up in so many layers of obfuscation and outright untruth that he has made things much worse and much more complicated than they need to be.

I still want to see a certified copy of his birth certificate. Something fishy is going on there too.

“2d Session S. RES. 511: Recognizing that John Sidney McCain, III, is a natural born citizen.: In the Senate of the United States.” was Sponsored by Senator McCaskill and co-sponsored by Senators Leahy, Obama, Coburn, Clinton and Webb. Why? Why were Democratic Senators trying to pass a Resolution making Senator McCain undoubtedly legally Eligible when this issue had already been cleared up in 2000 and again in 2004?

And why did Senators McCaskill and Obama reportedly insert the following Clause?

“Whereas previous presidential candidates were born outside of the United States of America and were understood to be eligible to be President;”

This Clause has no particular relevance to McCain and the following Clause, which it is reported McCaskill and Obama attempted to REMOVE shows that:

and Whereas John Sidney McCain, III, was born to American citizens on an American military base in the Panama Canal Zone in 1936.”

It seems clear that McCaskill and Obama were attempting to create a blanket Resolution covering ALL Foreign Born candidates. Why do that if not to benefit a Foreign Born Democratic Candidate who did not have a US Military background?

McCain did not need this resolution, Richardson did not need this Resolution; so far as I can see no-body needed this Resolution unless somebody in the race was born outside the USA and was “Covering his/her Ass” and the only individual in the race that that could apply to was Senator Obama!

This in turn would show that the Senator is a liar who has been peddling untruths about his birth for at least 16 years!

Oh well. It doesn’t matter who is the new President. The current congress and Bush are putting us on the hook for untold trillions with this housing and Freddie/Fannie Mae bailouts. We’re toast.

It is all a waste of time and effort. Whatever is true, if anything disabling is brought to light Congress will take care of it within 48 hours of the determination that is disabling by passing whatever is necessary to declare him a “natural born Citizen.” And if that happens maybe the Crats will go about calling each other “Citizen!” which is sort of the English for the French word that became “Comrade!” farther east.

Well written! Bump

Emphasis:

There should be a paper trail in US State and Federal and Foreign Government Records to prove, or disprove, my views. In fact, there must be and if there is not then it follows that somebody has removed the trail. If they have there has been a criminal conspiracy.

One more snip:

Writing this article has brought me face to face with huge quantities of disinformation. Had the Obama Campaign and their allies not laid such a thick smokescreen, obscuring facts going back to 1942, for much of his mother’s record has also been extensively doctored, the task would have been relatively easy.

It would be fair to say that I have never seen anything like it and I suspect very few other people have either. This matter should never have got this far. I cannot even at this point say that Senator Obama has committed a crime or broken the Law but I have never seen such a twisted version of Legality and it cannot be an accident.

The Senator knows the truth but he won’t admit to it and he may well be the only surviving witness to what happened back in 1966 and 1971.

I had to back track to part 1 and am still reading. What happened? What is this referencing? Is this just referring to the suspected name changes?

>>>THE REPUBLIC OF INDONESIA

It is an indisputable fact that Barack Obama spent his formative years in Indonesia. It is an indisputable fact that his mother married Lolo Soetoro Mangunharjo (hereafter called Lolo Soetoro). It is an indisputable fact that Senator Obama attended two Indonesian schools and that the records of one of those schools still existed in the year 2007.<<<

“Senator John McCain was born in the Panama Canal Zone…”

This is where I stopped reading.

Explain please. Full quote:

Senator John McCain was born in the Panama Canal Zone, which was not, according to the State Department, US Territory. He was apparently born either on a US Naval Base, or in any event in the purlieus of one, which was not, according to the State Department, US Territory.

AND there you have it!

CONCLUSION

There is clear prima facie evidence that Senator Barack Hussein Obama has held at least two Citizenships, American and Indonesian.

Under Article II of the Constitution that disqualifies him for POTUS, and it should.

Bump To The Top!!!!!

Interesting article noted in one of the comments on TD:

John Dean from FindLaw

~snip~

Michigan's Democratic Governor Jennifer Granholm was born in British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada, and thus is also ineligible.

Governor Granholm has eloquently explained the unfairness of the situation she, Arnold, and countless other could-be/would-be presidents face: "You can't choose where you are born, but you can choose where you live and where you swear your allegiance."

Despite what Arnold, Granholm or other Dems may want this is the fact:

He isn’t Eligible unless and until the Supreme Court Rules on Dual Nationality or the Congress passes Statute Law and the Constitution is Amended. The XIVth Amendment doesn’t change anything; United States v. Rhodes is still Precedent.

John McCain was born in Colon Panama. That wasn’t part of the Canal Zone.

Wonderful Calpernia has a copy of John McCain’s “Certification of Live Birth” (CoLB) which she was kind enough to share with us on several occasions. Maybe she will again if you ask her nicely. :)

The CoLB states very clearly that McCain was born in Colón, Republic of Panama, and not the Canal Zone…Panama being a separate, foreign country from the Canal Zone.

McCain has an Obama problem.

I have not been following the McCain debate on BC, but I think discounting Judah Benjamin's article is unwarranted. A quick search revealed sources claiming his birth in the Canal Zone (which alone probably is an error), however, the qualifier about being born on base suffices.

I may be wrong.

I read it all and it only supports what I already believe....

OBAMA IS HIDING EVERYTHING THAT WOULD PROVE HE CANNOT LEGALLY BE PRESIDENT!!!!

The other day Obama made a point of saying to the Germans that he was a "citizen of the world".

Originally I do believe that term applied to those that were men without a country, exiles, or refugees who either choose or were forced to be citizens of the world. Once upon a time such individuals were issued Nansen Passports to prove they were in fact stateless citizens of the world.

I am sure the speechwriter that put this little gem and so many others between Mr' Toot's lips had only a vague idea of what he was really telling us all or how it could also be viewed, but what if it was some sort of Freudian slip written and spoken by Barack Obama himself.

I have no doubt that he knows exactly what he is hiding and how it would prevent him from being president, and I am sure that there are people on both sides of the aisle that know the full details of his fraud and yet are allowing it to run it's course until such time as his lies can be flayed bare for all the world to see. That includes the media too, who will be waiting in the wings to deflate such a massive ego with the mother of all political jab to burst his balloon of absolute supremacy over us all.

And we all know they will but not until the time is right, like maybe on some night in Denver when crowds have been whipped into a Obama frenzy and face a loyal mob of Hillary supporters armed to the teeth with a complete and brutal expose` of the man that should not be president.

To all
If it is established that Obama is constitutionally ineligible to be president. It will not matter, all it will establish the low regard, the Democrat party, the MSM and the average Joe have for the Constitution. It will be explained away by ‘the beautiful people”.
Look at Obama’s past association with Ayers & Dorn 2 homegrown unrepentant domestic terrorist from the 1960s who killed a policeman. (Who if memory serves me correctly was black !)These facts had a brief public exposure and were explained away!
Obama must be defeated on the issues. Right now the attraction is that he is a "youthful looking novelty", but his principles are failed out-dated Marxist Socialism. Ideas that belong in the dustbin of history. He is shiny repackaging of past failures.

That is what most of us are hoping for...a do-over.

This is why it is important to have folks realize McCain was not born in the Canal Zone but in a foreign country. His Certification of Live Birth proves it.

What an exciting mess!!!

Obama can never be defeated on the issues for one simple reason.....

He cannot be pinned down on any of them.

Frankly it surprises me how so many political geniuses fail to recognize that simple fact, you cannot beat a man with the issues that changes his views on the issues as much Barack Obama does.

You must find his fatal flaw and use it to break his political image, that flaw is he is not eligible to be president and is hiding the proof that conceals that fact and is willing to by proxy defraud the entire country to that end with a phony photoshopped document that even fact check .org thinks is real.

The Constitution is always the trumping issue to me also.
So between you & me those are 2 votes.
Looks kind of lonely doesn't it !

The remaining 20% that actually decide elections! (I assume the remaining electorate vote 40% always GOP & 40% always democrat.) That 20% are dimly aware that there are such things as elections don't care about Constitutional issues. To them the Constitution is that thing where they had to memorize the awful preamble to back in Jr High civics class.

I did my homework on this years ago, the Panama canal zone was never US soil or a territory, the treaty we signed with the Panamanian government we created gave us only the right to administer the canal and the zone around it. It has never been a US territory.

And McCain is a Natural born citizen because of the oldest of United States Navy traditions, he is a son born to a United States Navy member and his wife while serving overseas such has been the case since the age of wooden ships and iron men and their women that went with them aboard those ships.

There is no law saying you ‘can’t run’ for President. But there is a law saying he can’t server. He can’t be sworn in. Our votes are irrelevant even if we wanted to vote for him.

So why waste time arguing the resume when he need not apply?
