Obama was born in Kenya, therefore, is not eligible to serve as President. When one is required to be a natural born citizen to serve as President, they must prove it.
Why won’t he produce his original birth certificate? When someone hides something, they have something to hide.
Are you sure you are not Michael Moore?
Citizenship of parents at the time of a candidate’s birth do matter in regards to “natural born” citizenship status (in contrast to the other two classifications, citizen, and naturalized citizen) uniquely designed for the presidency.
He’s the first candidate with one parent as a foreign national, his father, and thus was born with dual citizenship. All of this neatly verified on Obama’s own websites, fightthesmears.com and factcheck.org
Past presidents had foreign parents, but became naturalized U.S. citizens upon the candidates birth.
The framers wanted to limit the presidency to at least second-generation — fearful of usurpers, they wanted one’s allegiance solely to the United States. The U.S. Supreme Court has historically defined natural born citizen with case precedent.
U.S. v. Wong Kim Ark’s importance is that it is the first case decided by the Supreme Court that attempts to explain the meaning of “natural born citizen” under Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 of the U.S. Constitution. Natural born citizen is similiar to the meaning of what a natural born subject is under Common Law in England. That is one of the reasons why the framers specifically included a grandfather clause (natural born Citizen OR a Citizen of the United States, at the time of adoption of this Constitution). The founding fathers knew that in order to be president, they had to grandfather themselves in because they were British subjects. If they didn’t, they could not be President of the U.S.
Perkins v. Elg’s importance is that it actually gives examples of what a Citizen of the U.S. is; what a native born American Citizen is; and what a natural born citizen of the U.S. is. A natural born citizen is a person who is born of two U.S. citizen parents AND born in the mainland of U.S.
Congress for 26 times has tried to change the meaning of natural born citizen as early as the 1790 Nationality Act and 26 times the bill has been defeated, repealed or ruled unconstitutional. The meaning of what natural born citizen is what it is.
Furthermore for the 14th Amendment fanatics:
Rep. John Bingham of Ohio, considered the father of the Fourteenth Amendment, confirms the understanding and construction the framers used in regards to birthright and jurisdiction while speaking on civil rights of citizens in the House on March 9, 1866:
” ... I find no fault with the introductory clause [S 61 Bill], which is simply declaratory of what is written in the Constitution, that every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States of parents [plural, meaning two] not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is, in the language of your Constitution itself, a natural born citizen...”
LOL!
So he’d rather dole out thousands of $$$$$$$, his time, the hassle, the public relations, holding tight on the reins of his noble transparency just for fun right?
When he could easily submit a material form ending this, no need for the court to subpeona,
but of course Zero and minions would rather fight tooth and nail to avoid subpeona and throw these lawsuits out at the forefront, now headed for the 40th-odd lawsuit?
AGAIN:
So why hasn’t Zero turned over this documentation to the courts and halt the never-ending lawsuits and bad publicity?
Such parts of the common law of England, and of the statute law of England and Great Britain, and of the acts of the legislature of the colony of New York, as together did form the law of the said colony on the 19th day of April, in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and seventy-five, shall be and continue the law of this State, subject to such alterations and provisions as the legislature of this State shall, from time to time, make concerning the same.
Blackstone says:
"The first and most obvious division of the people is into aliens and natural-born subjects. Natural born subjects are such as are born within the dominion of the Crown of England; that is, within the ligeance, or, as it is generally called, the allegiance of the king; and aliens are those as as born out of it." --Sharwood's Blackstone, vol. 1, p. 364.
The principle here laid down applies to this country as well as to England. It makes a man a subject of England, and a citizen here, and is, as Blackstone declares, "founded in reason and the nature of government."
The English law made no distinction on account of race or color in declaring that all persons born within its jurisdiction are natural-born subjects; nor does it do so in regard to naturalization. This law bound the colonies before the Revolution, and was not changed afterward.
The children of aliens born here in England, are, generally speaking, natural born subjects, and entitled to all of the privileges of such. In which the constitution of France differs from ours; for there, by their jus albinatus, if a child be born of foreign parents, it is an alien.
They decided to follow you instead.
The COLB Zero posted on his websites.
Now he can simply give a material copy to the court as evidence, after all...
It’s the short form reflection of his original sealed BC right?
And this short form shows on his websites he was born in HOnolulu HI right?
So why hasn’t Zero turned over this documentation to the courts and halt the never-ending lawsuits and bad publicity?
Or maybe he just likes pouring money out of his a**
Yes, please explain the CONSPIRACY of COMMON SENSE.
They haven't asked to see it.
and halt the never-ending lawsuits
It wouldn't halt them. Birthers would claim it's not enough. They'd also double down on the argument about his father being a British Subject, or him supposedly losing his citizenship while in Indonesia.
At least half of the lawsuits filed to date are unrelated to the birth certificate.
and bad publicity?
The publicity helps him. It makes his opposition look like unhinged lunatics.
Previous question avoided for those with selective reading skills:
So he’d rather dole out thousands of $$$$$$$, his time, the hassle, the public relations, holding tight on the reins of his noble transparency just for...?
Bad publicity would be the obvious fact of Zero and minions blocking any attempt at transparency only fueling the fires of more lawsuits around the country.
What’s unhinged is Zero and minions spending habits shutting down any transparency dealing with these lawsuits fighting to avoid subpeona.
