Obama born in USA he is a citizen. (BUT NOT A NATURAL BORN CITIZEN). Not born on U.S. soil, he is an illegal alien.
Regarless of where he was born, regardless of his mothers citizenship, If Barrack Obama Sr. is his legal father, Barack Obama is ineligible to the office of president PERIOD!
Wrong. Both parents must be citizens.
Placemark.
So why hasn’t the impeachment started then?
No one in Congress will stand up?
You would think someone in Congress would stand up and speak out if it were that simple.
So to you, every Mexican anchor baby is eligible to be president?
WRONG.
And everyone is just ignoring it?
Biden would President, wouldn’t he?
He must not want the position if it’s that simple and Obama is not eligible.
And, by the way, the entire world knew that Obama had a father who was NOT a United States Citizen.
It was not an issue in the campaign. No State challenged it. (Though I wish a State or two had asked for the BC!)
You have no case. Common Law is not operative. Natural Law is not operative.
We have the 14th Amendment and we have Acts of Congress, yes, POSITIVE LAW which, if we ever get to the merits of the case, will be what any Court will look at.
Not your bogus “Natural Law” fantasies.
NOBODY thinks we can remove Obama from office based on the fact that his Father was not a Citizen!
Well, nobody with any real sense of the law or politics or history believes it can be done or would ever work.
Only something that the people did NOT know, before Obama was elected, will even come close to harming Obama, at this point. Yes, that is a political, not a legal argument, but I make it in the hope it might persuade you to drop a stupid legal argument.
I don't know why you would assume that. When has Congress ever proved they are willing to do the right thing and follow the law? I think they are all afraid of the fallout if they try to de-throne our first black president.
STOP RIGHT THERE.
You show me where in the 14th amendment the phrase “NATURAL BORN CITIZEN” appears?
Oh...... It DOESN'T??????? Move along, nothing to see here in that post.
You know how many cities will burn if the truth came out? Civil War II would be under way, and the international community would side with the Obamites as we who presented the truth would be called "racists wishing to return to the days of slavery."
Spot on!
Absolutely correct! That was why I was so interested in seeing his birth certificate. With the posting of this document, Obama reveals he is ineligible for the office of president. Real or fake, he is still not qualified to be president because the birth father listed on the document is not a US citizen.
Obama will never be able to meet the constitutional requirement for the office of president because he is not a natural born citizen of the US.
NO, if neither parent is a citizen, I don't even buy the “anchor baby” situation we have now, with illegals having kids in the United States. The 14th Amendment says, “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” which means, if the parents split up, custody probably won't be decided by a US Court, so -— the kid is NOT a citizen of the United States.
In your silly example? None were ever citizens, none ever became citizens.
“the kid would NOT be a Citizen at BIRTH!”
Citizen at birth is not Natural Born Citizen.
To be a citizen of the United States there are TWO ways.
1. Citizen by birth
2. Citizen by statute
To qualify for PRESIDENT, you must be a Citizen by birth, with two parents who were citizens when you were born.
You’re contradicting yourself. You said that born on US soil means citizenship and eligibility. You therefor believe that applies to anchor babies.
Because they're afraid of the race riots that will ensue.
Biden should run with it. He certainly wants the job, and it appears that he’s a shoe in since Zer0’s father was not a citizen.
Because he’s black...well, half black. Can’t you just imagine the furor of the blacks in this country if Congress announced that this ass isn’t eligible? None, and I mean NONE of them have the balls for that.
John Bingham stated in the House of Representatives in 1862:
Who are natural-born citizens but those born in the Republic? […] [P]ersons born within the Republic, of parents owing allegiance to no other sovereignty, are natural born citizens. Gentleman can find no exception to this statement touching natural-born citizens except what is said in the Constitution relating to Indians.[13]
He reiterated his statement in 1866:
Every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is, in the language of your Constitution itself, a natural born citizen.[14]
