How 95% doesn't matter

  In the discussion of precedent and Obama's ineligibility now opens the door for others that have questionable natural born Citizenship status. Think about this. 95% of all the Presidents of the United States were either born before the Constitution or were born in the United States to two U.S. Citizen parents. Ted Cruz is ineligible. Like the first 10 Presidents he was not born in the United States (Location), and his father (parentage) was a Cuban citizen at the time of his birth, and therefore does not meet the qualification of being a natural born Citizen. Bobby Jindal is ineligible. He was born in Louisiana, his parents were not U.S. Citizens (Parentage) at the time of his birth. Nikki Haley is ineligible. She was born in South Carolina, her parents were not U.S. Citizens (Parentage) at the time of her birth. Marco Rubio is ineligible. He was born in Florida, His parents were not U.S. Citizens (Parentage) at the time of his birth. A history of Presidents and natural born Citi...

  Below are books ranging from 1828-1988. Example one is the first book on the Constitution and was the premier book on the Constitution written less than 40 years after the ratification of the Constitution, by a man who spent 20 years working on recording the congressional record. 1828 Elementary Catchesim on the Constitution

Of Naturalized and Natural Born; the Court’s POV by Bruce McKay

  Normally I post just my own things on here. On Tuesday the New Hampshire Ballot Law Commission sidestepped the issue of Ted Cruz and Marco Rubios citizenship or their lack thereof  natural born citizenship as required in Art II Sec I Cl 5 when they made this statement. The state Ballot Law Commission refused to rule on the questions because, chairman Brad Cook said, the issues were not under the panel’s purview. “Our precedents say we don’t’ go there,” Cook said. “Personally, would I like the U.S. Supreme Court to decide these issues so we know what is, so it doesn’t keep coming up? Absolutely. Are we the vehicle to start that discussion? No, we’re not.” While discussing this issue one of my friends penned a very sustinct article on the eligibility of Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio.  Like my article titled "Keep It Simple Stupid" he avoids a lot of the legalese and provides the information in language that the average person should be able to understand. I hope you enjoy the ...

Apples vs Red Washington Apples

   I was sitting around yesterday, and I was trying to explain why Ted as a Citizen at birth just like the founding fathers was no longer eligible to be the President, so I came up with this visual aid.   At the time of the drafting of the Constitution the United States was only 11 years old. When they put in Art II, Sec, I Cl 5, " No Person except a natural born Citizen"  there were no natural born Citizens, that is no children of two citizen parents born in the United States that were of the age of thirty-five. The oldest natural born Citizen child would have been 11 at the most. So to allow for a President until one of those children became of age, they placed the "grandfather" clause in Art II, Sec I, Cl 5 " or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution,  ".  This allowed anyone that had become a citizen that had fought for our freedom from England and pledged allegiance to our new nation, regardless of where they ...

Rogers V Bellei, Ted Cruz and Congressional generosity

  As you have read in my other posts on here, I have been researching this subject in my spare time for a number of years. One thing I have learned is that just when you have thought you have found all the information, something else comes up. Over the last week I have been looking at the case below. It is the case of Aldo Bellei who like Ted Cruz was born outside the United States to a foreign-born father and a U.S. Citizen mother.  I don't know how I haven't tripped over this case until now but anyway here it is.  Bottom line is that the opinion of the Court, and the dissenting opinion of the court agree on one thing, and that is those born outside the United States are afforded the ability of citizenship by what they refer to as "congressional generosity", and though it may seem unpopular for children in this situation to be considered "naturalized" it is a fact that they are actually naturalized. I have highlighted the pertinent parts where the court mak...
