How the Liberals Are Destroying the Foundation of America, Part 2 newswithviews.com/how-the-libera…
Kamala Harris brings to light again the question of eligibility to run for president. Obama was NOT eligible because he did not fall into the category of Natural Born Citizen (NBC). Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz also are not eligible, and neither is Kamala Harris
It seems that NEITHER political party cares about upholding the Constitution in this matter. Even though the Constitution does not specifically define NBC there is a simple way to do so. Justice Scalia referred to it as “Doctrine of Original Intent”.
We have to understand what the Founders understood that to be. We are guided by the principle that “the Constitution was written to be understood by the voters; its words and phrases were used in their normal and ordinary as distinguished from technical meaning.”
Normal meaning may of course include an idiomatic meaning, but it excludes secret or technical meanings that would not have been known to ordinary citizens in the founding generation.
In other words, what did the Founders understand the term NBC to be? They were very familiar with English law and as such understood that term. In English law it states:that all children born abroad, provided both their parents were at the time of the birth in allegiance,...
....citizens of England, to the king, and the mother had passed the seas by her husband’s consent, might inherit as if born in England: The Founders understood that BOTH parent have to be citizens for their children to be Natural Born Citizens.
Some today, such as Cornell Law School, state that the 14th Amendment declares “anyone born on U.S. soil and subject to its jurisdiction is a natural born citizen” which is a total falsehood. The author of the 14th Amendment, Senator Jacob M. Howard wrote:...
“This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the Government of the United States, but will include every other class of person.”
Take note that he specified foreigners AND aliens would not be considered US citizens. This includes what we consider today as ‘anchor babies’. Democrats have used this to increase their voting base for decades.
Kamala Harris was born four years after her parent came to the United States. Neither of her parents were citizens when she was born and according to international law she is a citizen of the country her father came from.
There are no records of her parents filing for her citizenship that I have been able to find. Another case of the Constitution be damned! But we see the Republicans ignoring this provision of the Constitution as well with Rubio and Cruz.
Obama’s ineligibility was ignored by both parties and they continue to ignore this problem. What will they start ignoring next? The 1st Amendment? The 2nd? All of the Bill of Rights? We are at a very dangerous stage that will determine the fate of the American Experiment.
