The Betrayal

**RED ALERT UPDATE**

UPDATED 11:16 AM – Justia.com is censoring references to US Supreme Court cases which cite Minor v. Happersett as precedent for the citizenship issue.  I have briefed this issue in full in my comments to this report.  I have include links and screenshots.  Please archive the information and images before Justia.com can fix it.

_______________________________________________________________

The US Supreme Court definition of an Article 2 Section 1 natural-born citizen as stated in Minor v Happersett is strictly limited to those persons born in the United States to parents who were citizens.  Below, I will make this crystal clear with stealth to reduce the complexities of the issue into a refined exposition and mantra the average citizen will easily comprehend.

Rising stars of GOP in doubt because parents from overseas

MIAMI, Fla. – Are U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal natural-born citizens of the United States, and thus eligible for the presidency?

It’s a simple question, but the answer may not be so easy.

While the Constitution does not define “natural-born citizen,” there is strong evidence that the Founding Fathers understood it to mean someone born of two American citizens.

Obama Releases His Alleged Long Form Certificate of Live Birth But He’s Still Not a Natural Born Citizen

On December 20, 2008, I published an essay entitled, The Two Constitutional Obstacles that Obama Has to Overcome to Be President, accessed at http://puzo1.blogspot.com/2008/12/two-constitutional-obstacles-obama-has.html.  I explained that Obama has to first conclusively show that he was born in Hawaii. Having done that, he must still show that he is an Article II “natural born Citizen” which is a child born in the country to citizen parents. I also explained that Obama may be able at some point to show that he was born in Hawaii, which would make him a “citizen” under the Fourteenth Amendment, but that he would not be able to show that he is an Article II “natural born Citizen.”

IS OBAMA RUNNING FROM THE POWER OF THE GRAND JURY?
by Walter Francis Fitzpatrick, III

(Apr. 27, 2011) —  A little bit of background.

Before Tim and I proceeded with the treason complaint two years ago, we did everything we thought we needed to do to make the complaint, and we gave other people the opportunity to do it before Tim and I did.  We wrote to the Electoral College and got no response.  We made phone calls; we looked for this wherever we could find some way to answer it.  Then, in the meantime, we had reports coming out of Kenya that Mr. Obama was being celebrated there as a national hero because he’s just been elected President of the United States.

There were the radio talk show hosts who got a hold of that ambassador who said, “Oh, yes, we have a monument to him here,” and then later, it was reported that when Obama ran for the Senate, the Nigerian Observer announced that Kenyan-born Senator Obama was likely to win the presidency.  So Tim and I had done everything that we thought we needed to do to confirm the fact that Mr. Obama was a foreign-born domestic enemy, and when we said “foreign-born,” we pointed to Mombasa, Kenya.

You may add The Boston Globe to the growing list of influential media sources who have expressed the opinion that simply being born in the United States does not qualify one to be President.  Recently, this blog pointed to a similar opinion in the New York Tribune.  These pre-dated Breckenridge Long’s similar opinion as stated in the Chicago Legal News.

Recently, one of my readers uncovered this crucially relevant article published in the Boston Globe on November 9, 1896 by Percy A. Bridgham, aka  “The People’s Lawyer“.  (Mr. Bridgham’s book, One Thousand Legal Questions Answered by the “People’s Lawyer” of the Boston Daily Globe, can be found in the Harvard Law School library.)

The States Have the Constitutional Power to Pass Legislation Prescribing Presidential Ballot Access Requirements Including Determining Whether a Candidate Meets the Eligibility Requirements of Article II, Section 1, Clause 5

by Mario Apuzzo, Esq.
March 11, 2011

Article II, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution tells us that the Electoral College is the mechanism used to elect the President. 3 U.S.C. Sec. 4. Article II, Section 1 also tells us how the Electoral College is filled. It says that the states shall appoint the electors who will make up the Electoral College, determining the manner of electing them and the quantity to be elected. The rest of Article II, Section 1 was changed by the Twelfth Amendment which now prescribes how the voting is done, the votes are tallied and transmitted to Congress, and Congress confirms those votes and declares who shall be President. Further state authority over federal elections is found in Article I, Section 4, Clause 1, which delegates to the state legislatures the initial authority for the “Times, Places and Manner” of elections to Congress, with Congress having residual authority to make such regulations. Hence, the Constitution gives to the states the authority over federal elections and specifically to appoint its electors and decide how their votes are processed for the purpose of determining who shall be President. There is therefore no question that states have the power to run their own presidential and vice-presidential elections. Storer v. Brown, 415 U.S. 724, 730 (1974) (the Election Clause, Article I, Section 4, Clause 1 which applies to Congress was intended to grant states authority to protect the integrity and regularity of the election process by regulating election procedure). As part of that process, states must also have the authority over who shall be placed on any ballot to run for president and vice-president.

The issue of which I write on this blog – whether a person born with dual allegiance is eligible to be Commander in Chief of the US Armed Forces – has been discussed at numerous times in our nation’s history.  It’s not like it was just made up by people who do not support Obama.

HISTORY LESSONS

Back in 1896, the issue of whether a citizen – who was not born of US citizen parents – could be President of the United States was discussed in the Tribune (aka New York Tribune) during that Presidential campaign.  Here is the full text of the story (see pg. 131 at link):

Mike Huckabee Has Failed Concerned Americans On the Obama Eligibility Issue

I was listening to 770 AM radio this afternoon and heard former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee tell Aaron Klein on Klein’s WABC radio show that there is no need for state legislation to make sure future presidential candidates are born in the U.S. and therefore eligible for that office. He said that such laws could be viewed as an attack on Obama. When asked by Klein if any such laws are necessary, Huckabee said:

The States Have a Right and Duty to Assure Their Citizens That a Presidential Candidate Is an Article II “Natural Born Citizen”

By Mario Apuzzo, Esq.
March 2, 2011

The Founders and Framers did not set up a monarchy in the new nation that they created. Rather, they created a republic. A republic is a state in which all the people, except those disqualified by law, have a say and opportunity to participate in the administration of the nation and its government and elect representatives to operate their government. Republican government is a government by the people. It is operated by representatives chosen by the people. So through their representatives, the people administer their government. Black’s Law Dictionary 1171 (5th ed. 1979). It therefore becomes critical in a republic with a self-representative form of government that, for the sake of their well-being and self-protection, the people know for whom they are voting and that, in the case of the President, that that person is eligible under Article II of the Constitution to assume the powers of that office should he or she win the election. After all, citizens, who under our form of government are to consent to their government’s existence, should know in advance that their vote will count and not be cast for a person who will not qualify for the Office of President or worst yet, that their vote will be cast for someone who should take by usurpation the great and singular powers of that office while not being eligible to do so.

Biased Media Reporting on the Meaning of an Article II “Natural Born Citizen,” by Mario Apuzzo, Esq.

I just read an article at Multi-American written by Leslie Berestein Rojas on February 8, 2011, entitled, “First Arizona anti-birthright citizenship bills falter in state Senate,” at http://multiamerican.scpr.org/2011/02/first-arizona-anti-birthright-citizenship-bills-falter-in-senate/. The article says: “State Senate legislation in Arizona that sought to deny automatic U.S. citizenship to children born to undocumented immigrants failed to register enough support in a committee hearing late yesterday, leading its sponsor to pull the two bills, at least for now.” The article then says that the Arizona Daily Star reported: “There were also several children who spoke against the bill, including 12-year-old Heide Portugal who said she was born in this country but her parents were not and that a measure like this, had it been in effect, would have denied her citizenship.” This writer did not state her personal opinion as to what type of U.S. citizenship this child has.

WHO ARE THE CURRENT DEFENDERS OF THE CONSTITUTION?
by Mario Apuzzo, Esq.

(Nov. 10, 2010 — Daniel Webster, known as the “Defender of the Constitution,” was a famous orator and statesman. He argued cases before the U.S. Supreme Court, served as a U.S. Congressman, a U.S. Senator, and U.S. Secretary of State. In 1820, what later became known as the State of Main separated from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. This development caused the Commonwealth to seek to amend its constitution of 1780. The Commonwealth chose delegates to meet in convention for the purpose of amending its constitution. The town of Boston chose Mr. Webster as one of its delegates.

Mr. Webster served as chairman of the committee which was responsible for determining qualifications for those persons wanting to occupy public office. This committee recommended that “a simple oath of allegiance to the Commonwealth, together with the oath of office, should be taken by all persons chosen or appointed to office. . . . and that a profession of belief in the Christian religion no longer be required as a qualification for office.”

Wow, it only took a year for WND to report Obama’s real eligibility problem.  Many of us have been reporting this for over a year now.  Great to see WND finally report the true nature of Obama’s eligibility problem.  The fact is that it doesn’t matter where the usurper was born.  The very fact that Obama’s father was never a U.S. Citizen disqualifies Obama from being a “natural born Citizen” as required by Article II of the Constitution.  The irrefutable proof is located here and here.

- FIVE ATTEMPTS TO RE-DEFINE NATURAL BORN CITIZEN SINCE 2001 -

The slick politicians putting forward these attempts all failed because “The Law of Nations”, Natural Law, U.S. history and legal writings from the founding time frame, and U.S. Supreme Court rulings and dicta since clearly legally and logically indicate that a “natural born Citizen”, not a “born Citizen” or “Citizen by Birth” provided by man-made laws, but a “natural born Citizen“, is without a doubt a person born in the country to two citizen parents of that country.

Doubleheader via the New York Post and then Birthers.org; - Obama: Being American is ‘not a matter of blood or birth’ -

NY Post - pResident Barack Obama said Thursday that being American “is not a matter of blood or birth,” but said that “no matter how decent” the 11 million illegal immigrants in the U.S. are, they should be held accountable for breaking the law.

Speaking at the American University School of International Service in Washington D.C., Obama expressed an understanding for why states would pass individual anti-illegal immigration laws, but said taking such action is “ill conceived.”
