Sorry Trueblackman, but you might begin by asking Mr. Obama, who, along with his presidential campaign co-chair, Claire McCaskill, co-sponsored Senate Bill 2678 on February 28, 2008, "To clarify the law and ensure that children born to United States citizens while serving overseas in the military are eligible to become President." That bill failed to pass out of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Most U.S Senators are attorneys and Obama is a constitutional scholar. SB 2678 wasn't rejected for redundancy. Mr. Obama clearly doesn't agree with your proclamation of who is a natural born citizen. Mr. Obama, by-the-way, has never called himself a natural born citizen and neither has Mr. Cruz, most all of whose suggestions I support. Mr. Cruz has said through a spokesman that he is as eligible to be president of the U.S. as Mr. Obama, and with that I wholeheartedly agree.
When SB2678 failed McCaskill hurriedly submitted Senate Resolution 511 on 10 March 2008 together with Obama, Leahy, Clinton, Webb, and Coburn, known as "Recognizing that John Sidney McCain, III, is a natural born citizen." Resolutions are not laws. They aren't actionable. You should ask yourself why Obama's campaign committee, which included his Harvard Law advisor Larry Tribe, were so interested in helping John McCain, whose eligibility they had previously and thoroughly impeached Just search, if they haven't all been scrubbed, WaPo, NYT, LA Times, stories after each of a dozen or so stories explaining McCain's ineligibility, and after Dem Law Professor Gabriel Chin's thorough explanation.
For a careful and very thorough review of the law read Mario Apuzzo at http://puzo1.blogspot.com/ where he addresses precisely this issue. Mr. Apuzzo was of the several attorneys blocked at the Supreme Court when he attempted to get the court to resolve the issue addressed often in past cases, and in one case where that definition was essential to the decision rendering it precedent. Precedent is not binding, but overturning it requires some careful construction or many past decisions could be put into doubt. The court needed to confirm the only class of citizen defined in the U.S. Constitution, the definition based upon the language and law familiar to our framers, since, as Madison explained, there are not definitions in the Constitution itself, by design, because word meanings evolve over time and natural law is eternal.
Their cases were blocked by Obama's two appointees, Kagan and Sotomayor, both of whom stood to lose millions of dollars and lifetime appointments if their sponsor were to have been deemed ineligible. There are no laws addressing the integrity of supreme court justices and no enforceable rules for recusal. The Constitution provides only for impeachment of justices, a constraint to help impose separation of powers. Let's try to insure that Mr. Cruz is available to replace the sensitive and malleable Mr. Roberts as chief justice. Cruz knows the truth, but knows that Alinsky rules in these times, and he probably sees no reason to give up the platform he us using so well.
Infatuation won't like it much, but it needed to be said.
From a certain point of view, we are commanded to honor our Fathers and if we had, we would have avoided what is now our reality and soon to be our worldly ordered destination.
But infatuation says, "Get out of the way. We want what we want and rules are made to be broken."
And so it shall be...so say we all.
