Good stuff...thanks. I use the McCain info as a rebuttal to libs in my neighborhood who ridicule “birthers.” “Well, McCain produced his and it’s online for all to see. Why doesn’t Obama do the same and get this over with?”
This is the first time I’ve seen or heard this issue clearly defined. It’s not about Kenya vs Hawaii, it’s about the citizenship status of the parents. That’s how you avoid Manchurian Candidates, like the one in the Oval Office. I’d also like to see how relinquishing (and resumption) of citizenship plays out vis a vis the Constitution.
Bump.
Who is this missionary woman? Please elaborate and cite your sources.
If one were to have relinquished and then taken up US citizenship once again, then one would have to be naturalized, legally speaking. That’s not natural born.
It’s about more than citizenship, it’s about avoiding competing legal claims by another jurisdiction. Look to John Jay’s recommendations, look to various Founders’ comments regarding the avoidance of foreign entanglements. They didn’t want a President and Commander-in-Chief of the military to be beholden in any way to any foreign power.
born June 14, 1946 in Queens, New York, NY (Meets the Jus Soli Requirement)
Parents were
Frederick Christ Trump, born October 11, 1905 in Queens, NY, died June 1999 in Queens, NY
Mary Ann MacLeod, born May 10, 1912 in SCOTLAND, died August 7, 2000 in Queens, NY. Arrived in US October 5, 1935. Married January 1936. Naturalized as a US Citizen March 10, 1942.
Both parents were US Citizens at the time of his birth (Meets the Jus Sanguinis Requirement)
Donald Trump is a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN unlike Comrade Barry Soetoro aka Barack Hussein Obama.
Great going Zach......
Perhaps, the DNC should start looking for another candidate in 2012. Obanana is on his way out, and don’t let the door hit your ass.
Don’t forget he is hiding everything else also...College transcripts etc!
I think you can rest assured his motivation is not nefarious — like the current POTUS.
Some pundits sidestep the claim that Obama is not a ‘natural-born-citizen’ and dust off the discredited argument that newspaper birth announcements prove Obama was born in Hawaii.
Unlike classified ads, the newspaper birth announcements were not placed by individuals-—the announcements were automatically generated from health department data. They would have been generated by anyone reporting a birth to the state even if the birth occurred in a foreign country.
Another often used argument is that Obama has produced his birth certificate. The Certification of Live Birth (COLB) that Obama’s campaign released is a short summary of a birth record that does not necessarily indicate a Hawaiian birth. At the time, COLBs were issued even if the birth occurred in a foreign country and would automatically result in the printing of a birth announcement.
LOL! Priceless comments... I bet Trump could pull more votes than any other Republican candidate right now.
I would love to see a Trump/Bachmann ticket.
No he didn't. The birth certificate floating around the Web is a (bad) fake.
Yanno, I’m an “angry guy” too. Angry that my country has been usurped by a lying Marxist S.O.B., who, regardless of his natural-born status, is not “of” America, he grew up in a very foreign way of life and in a foreign country for much of it.
I’m angry that my 2 year old son is already in debt.
I’m angry that half the people in this country have no clue about anything.
I’m angry that our nation has been taken advantage of and disrespected for too long.
Sounds like I have a lot in common with Trump.
That’s Trump’s way though. He starts off pulling you in, getting your interest level up. The initial part of the sale.
Then he slowly starts dripping in more info to close the sale.
...The Constitution DOES affirm the NBC clause, as it was delineated in “Law of Nations.”
EXCERPT 3: U.S. Constitution, Article I, §8: The Congress shall have Power…To define and punish Piracies and Felonies committed on the high Seas, and Offenses against the Law of Nations....
what are the ramifications of this?
Thr operative word here is “Natural Born Citizen.” Both parants must be US citizens. Clearly this is not the case. Arguments have been presented on what is a NBC. Our courts have stonewalled the issue. There are many other issues on O’s background that need to be answered. Let’s hope that O is exposed before the 2012 primaries.
Donald could shut the door on Obama. Let’s hope Donald finishes the job!
This question is hypothetical at best. the Courts will NEVER take up this question since any litigant will have to surmount the insuperable barrier of constitutional standing in this case to be heard in federal court.
Or (eeek!) Pelosi, since she was Speaker of the House at the time of the election?
Or Cheney, since he was the sitting VP at the time?
It seems to me that this wouldn’t be an issue if BO simply acted like an American let alone a natural born citizen. We love our country. We don’t want to fundamentally change what we have. We wear American flag pins on our lapels. We place our hand over our heart when we say the pledge of allegiance. We believe that “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
