The US Supreme Court in Minor v. Happersett and Wong Kim Ark stated:
“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…”
Since Obama doesn’t fit that definition, he is not eligible to be President despite his place of birth.
From now on, refer to this pending Constitutional showdown as “Nbc-gate”.
I am not a birther. Call me naive, but I believe Obama was born in Hawaii and is a US citizen. But he’s not a “natural born Citizen” as required by Article 2, Section 1. The Constitution does not use the words, “native born citizen”. That is a fiction.
A “natural born Citizen” is born without allegiance to a foreign nation. Obama was born a British citizen and subject as he readily admits. This means he was born with dual citizenship and therefore dual allegiance. He’s not eligible to be Commander In Chief for this reason alone.
Public awareness is finally starting to take root.
“Nbc-gate” must have its day in court.
