“Romney’s father was born in Mexico and not a citizen at the time of Romney’s birth, precluding Natural Born Citizenship.”

Romney’s father was a US citizen, born to two American citizens living in Mexico. He was never naturalized. He didn’t need to be.

Do you fear Barack Obama? http://www.canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/12999

(snip)

Every member of the Supreme Court, every member of congress, every member of the Joint Chiefs, most members of the DOD, CIA, FBI, Secret Service and state run media, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, PBS, NPR, MSNBC, Fox and print news, knows that Barack Hussein Obama does NOT meet Article II – Section I constitutional requirements for the office he holds. By his own biography, there is NO way he can pass the test. The hard evidence is so far beyond overwhelming, it is ridiculous.

(snip)

But not ONE member of America’s most powerful people will dare confront Obama and his anti-American cabal on the subject. The Constitution does NOT stand.

(snip)

Half of the people you expect to stop this insanity are quiet co-conspirators in the silent coup. The other half is paralyzed by fear, motivated only by political self-preservation.

(Snip

Americans keep asking what they can do because they see that none of their leaders are doing anything to stop the demise of their beloved country. It’s the right question, because those leaders are NOT going to stop this thing.

(Snip)

Who will save freedom?

A brave few… This is how it was in the beginning, how it has always been and how it will be.

(Snip

Dr. Orly Taitz, Phil Berg and Gary kreep, all of whom have made defending the constitution and the American way of life a personal ambition in the absence of any constitutional leadership.

If the American people fail to get behind these brave few who are seeking peaceful redress, all the peaceful options will evaporate as if they never existed. We will return to a pre-1776 America overnight.

>>Romney’s father was a US citizen, born to two American citizens living in Mexico. He was never naturalized. He didn’t need to be.

According to this his grandfather was stripped of his Citizenship (something I fond questionable), but also that the nature of his forefather’s stay would nessitate Mexican citizenship.

“In regards to the missionaries, I point that out to show that the expatriate Mormons HAD to become Mexican citizens since polygamy missionary work by foreigners was prohibited by Mexican law at the time.”

There is a problem here. There are two separate legal systems that coexist like two rival operating system running on the same computer.

The constitution is the original system, and the other one is the political class favored modern rival.

A application [legal case] can only call the constitution if it first passes lots of tricks and traps set up by the political class “modern” system.

*The only way this theoretically conflicting system can function at all if if the judges, i.e. gatekeepers, oath to protect and defend the original constitution is ignored.*

The place to stop Constitutionally unqualified candidates is our State legislatures. These are the people our Constitution charged with exercising electoral judgment.

So where do Citizens go to seek redress when their State legislatures don't do their jobs properly? Nowhere?

“Upon close examination of the evidence,” Arpaio states, “it is my belief that forgery and fraud was likely committed in key identity documents including President Obama’s long-form birth certificate, his Selective Service Registration card, and his Social Security number.”

No need for bogus SSN#(s) if his papers (adoption) are legal.

Or Obama is a NBC who is a common criminal stealing SSN#'s for his conman-grifter lifestyle.

Please step back and look closer.

Our Founding/Framing generation placed enormous responsibility on the people, both directly in the Constitution when we serve as electors to the House of Reps, and in the several States. These reps are supposed to make laws on our behalf.

We have allowed said reps to assign that power to unelected agencies and czars, who are totally unaccountable to you and me.

We have also allowed our reps to look the other way when judges make law.

Hussein has unconstitutionally gone around Congress to the courts and executive agencies when it did not rubber stamp his diktats. I want Hussein The Kenyan gone, outta my life and my republic as much as anyone.

What I will not support is another assignment of constitutional duties. Once we allow Scotus the power to assume a constitutional duty of the states, to determine who is or who may not be on state ballots, we may never get that power back.

During the 2008 campaign, the DNC affirmed that Obama is a natural born British subject on their "Fight the Smears" website.
"As a Kenyan native, Barack Obama Sr. was a British subject whose citizenship status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.'s children."

I tremble at the thought of opening the remaining box.

Throughout history when the citizens of a nation find that they can not and will not be accorded either justice or redress from those, Judges, bureaucrats, or politicians, tasked with administering justice and or redress, the citizens find they must take upon themselves those powers and admonish those who have failed their tasks. That admonishment quite often takes the form of hanging or shooting the miscreants.

From watching what is happening in our nation, a correct observation would be that judges, bureaucrats, and politicians, have failed to study or acquire any knowledge of such history.

Doing research on “natural born citizen” using sources that predate 2007 will show a clear understanding of the phrase. There is no ambiguity or misunderstanding inherent concerning natural born. Those sources will clearly show that Obama, Romney, Santorum, McCain, Jindal and Rubio are not natural born citizens.
There have been many changes to online sources which attempt to subvert the constitution and the law. Those making such changes should receive harsh punishment. Those paying for the changes, Soros, should be fined hundreds of millions of dollars

Obama v. Romney the differences;

Romney is a Fabien socialist, Fabians will ease us into the water and slowly turn up the heat until we are all slaves and most won’t notice.

Obama is a revolutionary Marxist Communist, The adherents of that school are willing and eager to finish taking power by lining up and shooting those who refuse to become the states slaves.

With some exceptions all to many politicians over the past one hundred years have been Fabians and we are a long ways down that dark hallway leading to enslavement. They have been turning up the heat for that long and we haven’t noticed!

“Doing research on “natural born citizen” using sources that predate 2007 will show a clear understanding of the phrase. “

Hmmm...my sources include legislation passed at the time the Constitution was being written, and the US Supreme Court ruling in...1898. Or Lynch, in 1844, or Kent’s Commentaries on American Law from 1826, or Blackstone’s Commentaries from 1803.

There was no ambiguity in the use of natural born citizen. But the phrase included those born to aliens, just as the preceding phrase ‘natural born subject’ had.

If you want to know what the term means, it is better to pay attention to how it was used at the time the Constitution was written, rather than pulling the meaning from a bad translation of Vattel published 10 years later.

You and I have gone around and round on this before. You are still wrong and I am still right. Obama was not the president is not now the president and will never be the president because he is not a natural born citizen. Future histories of this nation will list the years 09 through 12 as the years without a president. They will cite the resurgence of this nation as being a result of the purge of Fabian socialists from American politics.

In the 2020s all you frogs will be muttering about the water getting cooler.

Wrong.

"...any place within the king's dominions may make a subject born, but any place within the king's dominions without obedience can never produce a natural subject." Coke, 1608

From WKA, Calvin's Case, and Dicey it IS NOT birth within the realm that determines who is and is not natural-born. It is PERMANENT and EXCLUSIVE ALLEGIANCE.

Obama does NOT meet that requirement.
