You're as sharp as the leading edge of a basketball.

Oh...how clever. Did you come up with that on your own?

-----

Read the LAW again

Yes, lets!

...and the proceedings thereon; and thereupon such person shall be considered as a Citizen of the United States. And the children of such person so naturalized, dwelling within the United States, being under the age of twenty one years at the time of such naturalization, shall also be considered as citizens of the United States.

Children under 21 years become naturalized citizens at the point in which their parents themselves become naturalized citizens by completing the naturalization process and taking the Oath of citizenship.

A naturalized citizen is not the same as a natural born one.

Had Rubio been born AFTER his parents completed the naturalization process, it might have been a different story, but he wasn't so it isn't.

Do a keyword search on ‘rubio’ on FR and you will find some reasons to wonder about Marco. He is especially clueless on foreign policy.

Nixon was the bigger RINO than Ford or Rockerfeller. He gave us wage and price controls, 55 MPH national speed limit and the EPA.

No, Nixon was simply pandering to the RINOs or outbidding them. Somewhere along the way, he decided, if you can’t beat them, better join them. But they never quite accepted him.

No, I did not. That part concerns children of naturalized citizens born outside the US. How does that apply to Rubio?

Your quite the cut & paste artist, but what part of DULY NATURALIZED do you not understand?

Rubio is the poster boy for something called ‘The Hispanic Leadership Network’ co-chaired by Jeb Bush and Carlos Gutierrez.

http://hispanicleadershipnetwork.org/issues/

This is very much a GOP establishment creation. It’s for the sort of “immigration reform” promoted by Jeb and Dubya. Those who believe that Rubio isn’t backed by the GOP establishment are fooling themselves.

The Republicans have been whoring after the latino vote for years now, and Marco Rubio is their golden boy to give it to them. Or so they think. The GOP is called the Stupid Party for a reason.

Having lived through the transformation of California from American suburbia into the capital of the Third World I’ve had all the latino culture I ever care to see. Friends who have left the state over the years feel more strongly about it, it’s one reason they are glad that they left.

I won’t vote for any ticket with Rubio on it because I greatly dislike replacing the historic American people with the latino culture and people, and that’s what his rise to political influence means to me. The GOP, as usual, manages to pick up every bad leftwing idea a generation after the Democrats do.

“...but I thought Rubio wasn’t eligible in terms of having both parents being Americans at the time he was born?”

Thanks to the precedent set by our illegal alien president, the only requirement now is that you be born on Earth.

The only problem with your scenerio is that Rubio’s parents did not initially APPLY for US citizenship until 4 years AFTER Rubio was born, not before.

That 1790 Act was repealed in 1795 and the words “natural born” were removed, never again to appear, thus it is a moot.

In 1802 Congress revisited the naturalization laws in order to correct abuses that had taken place under the previous administration. The Act of 1802 repealed all previous naturalization Acts and in their place, stated:

An Act To establish an uniform rule of Naturalization and to repeal the acts heretofore passed on that subject
Approved April 14 1802 US Statutes at Large Vol 2 pg 155

SEC 4 And be it further enacted That the children of persons duly naturalized under any of the laws of the United States or who previous to the passing of any law on that subject by the government of the United States may have become citizens of any one of the said states under the laws thereof being under the age of twenty one years at the time of their parents being so naturalized or admitted to the rights of citizenship shall if dwelling in the United States be considered as citizens of the United States

So, let’s break this down for those that are blinded easily by the chaff that hides the meat of the grain.

parents…united under one allegiance, upon marriage, international law & US state & national law recognized that the wife automatically became a citizen of the husbands country and the husband was the legal representative for the entire family.

the children…those born to alien/foreign parents on American soil

who, previous to the passing of any law on that subject(naturalized citizenship) by the government of the United States, may have become citizens of any one of the said states under the laws thereof(laws of the state under the Articles of Confederation) … this refers to the feudal law of subjectship which at birth, naturalized the child of a foreigner and makes that child a subject slave of the state from the moment of birth, regardless of the parents wishes

being under the age of 21 at the time of their parents being naturalized…still a minor and under the authority & protection of the parents

admitted to the rights of citizenship if dwelling in the United States…they could only claim US citizenship if living in the US proper under the authority & protection of their parents who were living in the US & who had become US citizens

In other words, what we have here is the federal government stating in 1802, in no uncertain terms, that birth in this country is not the prerequisite to citizenship. It is the allegiance of the parents, the adults who are the guardians & protectors of the child, and unless the adult parents become citizens, the child has no other option than to try to obtain it at the age of 21. For those whose parents never did obtain US citizenship, the process was made easier and the waiting period was waved as long as the child had lived in and was educated in the US consistently for a certain period of time prior to their coming to the age of 21.

I have found no better voice to this than that of a Mr Saunders of the 28th Congress during debate on naturalization that finally ended with the above law being upheld:

28th Congress, 2nd Session
page 129

MR. SAUNDERS’S REPORT ON NATURALIZATION

First, the act of 1802, which repeals all former acts.

It restores the provision of the declaration of intention to three years before application, and a residence of 5 years before admission, and requires proof of good character, renunciation of former allegiance, as well as of all titles or orders of nobility, and an oath to support the constitution; it requires the “registry” of aliens “in order” to become citizens, and the production of the certificate of registration when applying for admission. It further provides for the children of aliens, whether born within or out of the United States

Barak Obama has never claimed that he’s a “natural born citizen”.

He has NEVER once claimed to be one - saying only that he was born in Hawaii.

BHO2 is a constitutional scholar. He knows being born in the USA doesn’t equal “natural born citizen”. It only equals being a native born citizen.

To: Campion

You’re wrong. Here’s why.

The following information comes from our government, US Citizenship and Immigration Services, and describes the three statutory types of citizenship - native born (jus solis), derived citizenship (jus sanguinis), and naturalized citizenship.

http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.eb1d4c2a3e5b9ac89243c6a7543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=a2ec6811264a3210VgnVCM100000b92ca60aRCRD&vgnextchannel=a2ec6811264a3210VgnVCM100000b92ca60aRCRD

CITIZENSHIP

If you meet certain requirements, you may become a U.S. citizen either at birth or after birth.

To become a citizen at birth, you must:

Have been born in the United States or certain territories or outlying possessions of the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction of the United States; OR
had a parent or parents who were citizens at the time of your birth (if you were born abroad) and meet other requirements.

To become a citizen after birth, you must:

Apply for “derived” or “acquired” citizenship through parents.

Apply for naturalization

*****************************************

Note: all three types of the above are U.S. citizens. All may serve in the U.S.Congress, as either Representatives in the House, or as Senators in the Senate.

Per Article I, Section 2 and 3 of the United State Constitution, Representatives and Senators shall be Citizens of the United States.

The ONLY place “natural born citizen” appears in our national laws is as an eligibility requirement to be President of the United States.

Per Article II, Section 1, clause 5: “No person except a natural born Citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.”

The eligibility requirement to be President is not the same as that for Congress. Simply being a “citizen” is not enough.

Our founders understood the difference. Here is where the definition exists in national law:

http://naturalborncitizen.wordpress.com/2011/06/30/the-express-lane-to-natural-born-clarity/

ONLY NATIONAL LAW MAKES BINDING PRECEDENT.

The Supreme Court’s definition of the natural-born citizen clause in Minor [Minor vs. Happersett] is not common law, natural law, or international law. Vattel is not cited by the Supreme Court in Minor. And Vattel does not make US law. The Court’s holding in Minor is national law. It is United States law.

Those other sources may have been consulted, but when the Court held that [Virginia] Minor was a citizen under Article 2 Section 1 because she was born in the US of citizen parents, that definition became national law. Therefore, Minor supersedes all other sources on this point. It is a direct Constitutional interpretation and definition.

The other sources are not necessary. Relying upon them actually weakens the authority of Minor. There is no need for insecurity in the face of supporting Supreme Court precedent.

On November 22, 2008, Justice Scalia addressed the Federalist Society, stating:

“Natural law has nothing to do with originalism. I mean, I believe in natural law, but unfortunately I have no way to show or demonstrate that my understanding of it is the same as yours, or is the same as anybody else’s. I don’t enforce natural law. I suppose God enforces natural law. I enforce United States law. United States law should not contravene natural law, but that’s not my problem… I worry about, ‘What does this text mean?’ ” (Emphasis added.)

Earlier in that same speech, Justice Scalia stated:

“What has happened can only be compared to the naive belief that we used to have in the common law… Erie Railroad, you know, blows that all away… and we sort of chuckle at how naive the world could have been ever to have thought there was a common law…”

Do not get sidetracked by extraneous theoretical sources. We have United States Supreme Court precedent which defines a natural-born citizen – under Article 2 Section 1 – as a person born on US soil to parents who were citizens. Neither Obama nor McCain fit that definition. Neither are eligible to be President.

While some may argue McCain was eligible based upon a reference to Vattel, McCain simply does not fit the strict US Supreme Court definition of natural-born citizen as defined in Minor. To fashion an exception for McCain not found in the actual text from Minor is purely partisan and unfair.

Unlike others commenting on eligibility, I have always maintained that both McCain and Obama were not eligible. I brought my law suit all the way to the Supreme Court – prior to the election – arguing against both candidates’ eligibility. I was the first person to raise this issue with the American people. And I hold them both accountable for the damage done to our Constitution as a result of neither having more concern for the nation than they did for themselves.

Leo Donofrio, Esq.

*****************************************

I hope this clarifies the issue for you.

I’m old enough to remember when the Republican Party seriously considered amending the U.S. Constitution eligibility requirement so that Henry Kissinger (born in Germany) or Arnold Schwarznegger (born in Austria) could run for President. Thank God they didn’t do that and reason prevailed.

As recently as 2006 there was a paper written by Sarah Herlihy claiming that the ‘natural born citizen’ requirment was stupid and prevented the U.S. from being part of the Globalism movement. THAT gave away the real intent of so-called Progressives; that United States sovereignty was a constraint on the establishment of a socialist Global government.

If enough states have in their state constitutions the definition of natural born citizen - born in the USA of citizen parents - it will effectively block the New World Order / Globalist government operatives.

Understand now?

The Supreme Court told us in Wong Kim Ark that NBC is defined outside of the law ... outside of the Constitution. The concept of “citizenship by birth” is defined by the Constitution per the 14th amendment, so there is a legally recognized difference between these terms.

Obama?
We're talking about Marco Antonio Rubio.

How did you get the idea that we were discussing Obama?

Marco Rubio isn’t eligible to be Vice President or President.

He is no more eligible than BHO2.

Both may be native born, but neither is a natural born citizen.

LOL!!! Oh, I have been doing Birther stuff for like two days and writing Internet Articles, and so busy fighting Vattle Birthers I have not had much time to fight the Obotski. Could you maybe just say it about Obama for a few days until I rest up??? Then you can go back to saying it about Rubio and Jindle. Plus, that will give me time to read the funny record cover thread, for which I will promise to use the Jonny Gerts image for the Obotski, and not the Vattle Birthers. Oh Tee Hee!!!
