PRESIDENTIAL ELIGIBILITY
by Paul Hollrah, ©2016
(Dec. 11, 2016) — Having just lived through an era in which an ineligible usurper has served as president of the United States for two terms, there is no better or more appropriate time to clarify the most significant qualification of those who would serve as president or vice president of the United States. Clearly, the Framers intended that only those candidates who were born to parents, both of whom were U.S. citizens at the time of birth, should be eligible for the presidency or the vice presidency.Inasmuch as a great many well-intentioned conservatives and Republicans supported Senator Ted Cruz, Senator Marco Rubio, or Governor Bobby Jindal, none of whom were “natural born” citizens, without first assuring themselves of their presidential eligibility, there can be no better time than now to provide some indisputable language to the Constitution, clarifying the meaning of the term “natural born Citizen.”
Accordingly, I have written to all three of my representatives in Congress, as well as to all Republican members of the Subcommittee on the Constitution and Civil Justice, Committee on the Judiciary, U.S. House of Representatives, urging them to introduce a Joint Resolution in support of a new 28th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. If you agree, I hope you will do the same.
Currently, Rubio, Cruz, Jindal and the State of New York are being sued in the New York State Supreme Court, Appellate Division, 3rd Department, Albany, NY in Laity v. NY,Cruz,Rubio and Jindal, #1561-16 for violating Article II, Sec. 1, Clause 5 of the U.S. Constitution. They attempted to run for President without legal authority or eligibility. NY State misrepresents the criteria as “being born a citizen” versus the actual legal requirement that a POTUS and VP be “Natural Born Citizens” (See also, the 12th Amendment).
The subject of modifying the Constitution, which appears to be no longer valid in the United States (certainly the federal government no longer abides by constitutional constraints on its actions) is always a touchy subject. Even if modified, will the Constitution ever again have any effect on or controls of the federal government? Aren’t we now living as the constitutionless state of israel is living, i.e. no rules for the foreign and domestic criminal plantation masters?
However, if we Americans ARE ever able to drain the swamp of all foreign and domestic crime lords in the federal government, maybe a 28th amendment would be of some help to Americans. But, note, however, there is a lot more that needs to be fixed in this country than assuring we have a ‘natural born citizen’ in the white house, rather than a foreign born usurper. We’ve had two usurpers now – how’s that working out for ya, America?
Here’s a link to a fairly thorough suggested 28th amendment the doc has a few really good ideas, including inserting a definition for a ‘natural born citizen.’ Enjoy.
[JS side note: Sharon, I’m assuming that links are permitted. I can’t recall your views and/or guidelines on that question.]
