My letter to the editor, comment 181, was returned for a violation of word count. 250 MAX!

So here is the revised version.

That term natural born Citizen was common knowledge to the founding fathers and it’s meaning is "children born of parents who are Citizens on the land are natives, or natural born Citizens." This was articulated many times by the founding fathers. Supreme Court decisions for example Minor v Happersett 1870, http://supreme.justia.com/us/88/162/case.html , The Chief justice wrote the following; "The Constitution does not in words say who shall be natural-born citizens. Resort must be had elsewhere to ascertain that. At common law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners."

A book belonging to John Adams. Page 77 describes natural born Citizens. http://www.archive.org/stream/newabridgementof01baco#page/n8/mode/1up

Some claim that the 14th amendment defines “natural born Citizen.” The 14th amendment was written by John Bingham, reaffirmed the definition known to the framers, not once, but twice during Congressional discussions of Citizenship pertaining to the upcoming 14th Amendment and a 3rd time nearly 4 years after the 14th was adopted. One example quote; "All from other lands, who by the terms of [congressional] laws and a compliance with their provisions become naturalized, are adopted citizens of the United States; all other persons born within the Republic, of parents owing allegiance to no other sovereignty, are natural born citizens.”

Mr. Obama is not a natural born Citizen.

Dear Representatives Accornero, DeLemus and Baldasaro:

I have just had a meeting with Attorney General Delaney concerning the Ballot Law Commission hearing on November 18. He is concerned over how members of the House conducted themselves during and following the hearing, as well as for the safety of a member of his office who attended the meeting in an official capacity.
I am requesting that the Chief of Protective Services, Randy Joyner, conduct an investigation of the incident and provide a written report to me. In addition, I have been informed that the Attorney General has requested that Colonel Quinn of the State Police have his office conduct a review of the incident. Please provide both Protective Services and the State Police your full cooperation and candor should they contact you. I am deferring any meeting concerning the issues underlying the November 18 hearing or the hearing itself until these reviews are completed.

Sincerely,

William L. O’Brien
Speaker of the House

cc: Attorney General Michael A. Delaney
Deputy Attorney General Ann Rice
House Majority Leader David J. Bettencourt
Colonel Robert L. Quinn, Director of State Police
Chief of Staff Robert D. Mead
House Clerk Karen O. Wadsworth
Chief of Protective Services Randy Joyner
