WITH ATTORNEY STEVEN PIDGEON, FILES QUO WARRANTO ACTION IN DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
by John Charlton
(Dec. 7, 2009) — The Post & Email can confirm this afternoon, that Attorneys Leo Donofrio and Steven Pidgeon are representing a group of Chrysler Automotive dealers in seeking legal redress to their loss of their franchises following the direct and unconstitutional involvement of Barack Hussein Obama in the Chrysler reorganization.
It is speculated that the action will involve a writ of quo warranto, where by Obama will be legally forced to prove that he legitimately holds office as President of the United States in accord with the requirements of Article II, section 1, paragraph 5 of the United States Constitution.
That paragraph reads,
No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.
The Supreme Court of the United States has on several occasions confirmed that the phrase “natural born citizen” indicates a U.S. citizen, who was born in the U.S.A. of two U.S. citizen parents. Obama, on account of having a father who was a British subject at the time of his own birth, was not, is not, and can never be a natural born citizen. He is thus unqualified to hold the office of president.
Regarding the pending action in the courts of the District of Columbia, Donofrio says that the goal of Steve Pidgeon and himself is to see the owners of the dealerships, whom they represent, “reinstated to their businesses.”
The District of Columbia is unique in the nation, for having a section of its legal code devoted to the writ of quo warranto, when employed against federal office-holders who exercise their office within the District.
Attorney Donofrio is famous for his advocacy of the use of the quo warranto provisions of the D.C. Code and holds that the D.C. courts are the only proper venue for such actions against federal officers.

I hope to God he doesn’t finished his term. If all of this is TRUE and there’s so MUCH EVIDENCE WHY IS taken so long TO IMPEACH THIS MAN! He’s has LIED TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE FROM THE GET GOI!!! I hope he gets what he deserves . When Ex. President Nixon was involved in the WATER -GATE SCANDAL the Administration didn’t waste any time to get him out!!! That was a very EXPEDIOUS PROCESS. The same should be applied in this case!
I still think Pelosi KNOWS the truth about his birth place.
In today’s Wall St. Journal, December 10, 2009, article “Car Dealers Seek Reprieve” reports Congress is considering giving relief to car dealers who lost their franchises. The language of the bill has already been approved by the House and Senate which will enable 2,000 dealers to pursue third party mediation with possibility of reinstatement as a franchise car dealer. Still many of these dealers will not receive the compensasiton justified and hopefully Leo Donofrio’s case will give them the upper hand in forcing Obama to concede to their demands or make him prove he is eligible to hold office.

Mr. Charlton replies: There are several constitutional issues with this bill. First of all, there is no president to make it law. Second, Obama’s actions against the dealers was unlawful and criminal. Third Congress should remove him from power, not buy off his victims…
quote “Obama acknowledges that his birth was governed by the British Nationality Act of 1948.”
That settles it then. We’ll just let the individual govt’s involved, enforce each other’s laws. Good luck when they don’t even enforce their own.

I guess this is why Leo shut down his site.
Pretty good reason! I just wish he would have left all his historical research online instead of removing it… : (

by the way, Mr. Charlton, I noticed you disabled the thepostnemail wordpress site. I hope that does not hinder, in any way, the North Carolina eligibility case which references your wordpress site(http://thepostnemail.wordpress.com/2009/10/14/ap-declares-obama-kenyan-born) in the law suit.
Keep up the Good Fight!

This will be interesting to see how quick they move to resolve this issue with the dealers that had their franchises stolen away from them with these new lawsuits filed. Especially the Quo-Warranto suit. They will need to make this go away and the quickest way to do that would be to resolve all the issues with this dealers before they go to court!

House leaders craft new bill for rejected dealers
Measure would allow dealers to present any relevant information in arbitration
Neil Roland
Automotive News | December 7, 2009 – 1:39 pm EST
WASHINGTON — House leaders crafted a bill over the weekend that would provide third-party arbitration for rejected General Motors Co. and Chrysler Group dealerships using criteria more favorable to dealers than those proposed by the automakers last week.

Senator Leahy: “Because he was born to American citizens, there is no doubt in my mind that Senator McCain is a natural born citizen…”
Minor v. Happersett, 88 U.S. 21 Wall. 162 162 (1874)
“ ‘No person except a natural-born citizen or a citizen of the United States at the time of the adoption of the Constitution shall be eligible to the office of Presiden’”… 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, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners.”
McCain is not a natural born citizen because he was not born in the United States (one of the 50 states or DC). He was a dual citizen at birth because, according to Panamanian law, McCain was a citizen of Panama at birth.
Obama acknowledges that his birth was governed by the British Nationality Act of 1948.

“When Barack Obama Jr. was born on Aug. 4,1961, in Honolulu, Kenya was a British colony, still part of the United Kingdom’s dwindling empire. As a Kenyan native, Barack Obama Sr. was a British subject whose citizenship status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.‘s children.”
British Nationality Act of 1948
Citizenship of the United Kingdom and Colonies
Citizenship by descent
5.—(1) Subject to the provisions of this section, a person born after the commencement of this Act shall be a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies by descent if his father is a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies at the time of the birth…
To reiterate, Obama acknowledges that his birth was governed by the British Nationality Act of 1948.
Thus, Obama was “a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies” at birth because his father was “a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies at the time of the birth”.
Hence, Obama is not an Article II “natural born citizen” of the United States…
This is remarkably good news. Over time Leo Donofrio has shown a keener grasp of the natural born citizen issue than anyone. This will probably be the best chance, so please pray he and his team are successful.
Thank you, Leo!
The single question presented in WKA, which the WONG court affirmed, was whether WONG “at the time of his birth” became “a citizen of the United States”, not whether WONG was an Article II “natural born citizen” of the United States. Hence, the WONG court concluded WONG was a “citizen of the United States at birth” not an Article II “natural born citizen” of the United States.
Suffice it to say, a 14th Amendment “citizen of the United States at birth” is not synonymous with an Article II “natural born citizen” of the United States. An Article II “natural born citizen” of the United States is always a “citizen of the United States at birth”. A “citizen of the United States at birth” is not always an Article II “natural born citizen” of the United States.
Article II, Section 1: No person except a natural born citizen…shall be eligible to the office of President…
Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. (Cranch 1) 137 (1803): “It cannot be presumed that any clause [natural born citizen] in the constitution is intended to be without effect; and therefore such construction is inadmissible, unless the words require it.”
UNITED STATES v. WONG KIM ARK., 18 S. Ct. 456, 169 U.S. 649 (U.S. 03/28/1898)
[1] SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
[13] The question presented by the record is whether a child born in the United States, of parents of Chinese descent, who, at the time of his birth, are subjects of the Emperor of China, but have a permanent domicil and residence in the United States, and are there carrying on business, and are not employed in any diplomatic or official capacity under the Emperor of China, becomes at the time of his birth a citizen of the United States, by virtue of the first clause of the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution, “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.”
[15] The Constitution of the United States, as originally adopted, uses the words “citizen of the United States,” and “natural-born citizen of the United States.” By the original Constitution, every representative in Congress is required to have been “seven years a citizen of the United States,” and every Senator to have been “nine years a citizen of the United States;” and “no person except a natural-born citizen, or a citizen of the United States at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President.” The Fourteenth Article of Amendment, besides declaring that “all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside,” also declares that “no State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.” And the Fifteenth Article of Amendment declares that “the right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States, or by any State, on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude.”
[16] The Constitution nowhere defines the meaning of these words, either by way of inclusion or of exclusion, except in so far as this is done by the affirmative declaration that “all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States.” In this, as in other respects, it must be interpreted in the light of the common law, the principles and history of which were familiarly known to the framers of the Constitution. Minor v. Happersett, 21 Wall. 162; Ex parte Wilson, 114 U.S. 417, 422; Boyd v. United States, 116 U.S. 616, 624, 625; Smith v. Alabama, 124 U.S. 465. The language of the Constitution, as has been well said, could not be understood without reference to the common law. 1 Kent Com. 336; Bradley, J., in Moore v. United States, 91 U.S. 270, 274.
[121] The evident intention, and the necessary effect, of the submission of this case to the decision of the court upon the facts agreed by the parties, were to present for determination the single question, stated at the beginning of this opinion, namely, whether a child born in the United States of parents of Chinese descent, who, at the time of his birth, are subjects of the Emperor of China, but have a permanent domicil and residence in the United States, and are there carrying on business, and are not employed in any diplomatic or official capacity under the Emperor of China, becomes at the time of his birth a citizen of the United States. For the reasons above stated, this court is of opinion that the question must be answered in the affirmative.
Article I, Section 2: No person shall be a Representative who shall not have attained to the age of twenty five years, and been seven years a citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an inhabitant of that state in which he shall be chosen.
Article I, Section 3: No person shall be a Senator who shall not have attained to the age of thirty years, and been nine years a citizen of the United States and who shall not, when elected, be an inhabitant of that state for which he shall be chosen.
Article II, Section 1: No person except a natural born citizen…shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty five years, and been fourteen Years a resident within the United States.
To reiterate, “No person except a natural born citizen …shall be eligible to the office of President.”
Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. (Cranch 1) 137 (1803): “It cannot be presumed that any clause [natural born citizen] in the constitution is intended to be without effect; and therefore such construction is inadmissible, unless the words require it.”
The issue of whether or not Obama is “eligible to the office of President” depends upon whether or not he is an Article II “natural born citizen” of the United States.
The phrase “natural born citizen” “must be interpreted in the light of the common law, the principles and history of which were familiarly known to the framers of the Constitution” (Wong Kim Ark: Paragraph 16).
United States v. Wong Kim Ark., 18 S. Ct. 456, 169 U.S. 649 (U.S. 03/28/1898)
[1] SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
[16] The Constitution nowhere defines the meaning of these words [“citizen of the United States,” and “natural-born citizen of the United States”], either by way of inclusion or of exclusion, except in so far as this is done by the affirmative declaration that “all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States.” In this, as in other respects, it [The Constitution] must be interpreted in the light of the common law, the principles and history of which were familiarly known to the framers of the Constitution. Minor v. Happersett, 21 Wall. 162; Ex parte Wilson, 114 U.S. 417, 422; Boyd v. United States, 116 U.S. 616, 624, 625; Smith v. Alabama, 124 U.S. 465. The language of the Constitution, as has been well said, could not be understood without reference to the common law. 1 Kent Com. 336; Bradley, J., in Moore v. United States, 91 U.S. 270, 274.
The “common law, the principles and history of which were familiarly known to the framers of the Constitution” was plainly expressed by the Supreme Court of the United States in “Scott v. Sandford”, which quoted Vattel, and explicitly stated, “The natives or natural-born citizens are those born in the country of parents who are citizens…”
Scott v. Sandford, 60 U.S. 393 (U.S. 01/02/1856)
[1] UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT
[418] …The natives or natural-born citizens are those born in the country of parents who are citizens…
The Supreme Court of the United States, in The Venus, relied upon Vattel’s “Law of Nations” as the authority on citizenship issues.
The Venus, 12 U.S. (8 Cranch) 253, 1814
“Vattel, …is more explicit and more satisfactory on it [CITIZENSHIP ISSUES] than any other whose work has fallen into my hands, [Vattel] says, ‘the citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives, or indigenes, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens.’ ”
Vattel’s Law of Nations: § 212. Citizens and natives
The citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens.
Furthermore, the Supreme Court of the United States, in Minor v. Happersett, confirmed the definition of a “natural born citizen” as “children born in a country of parents who were its citizens”.
Minor v. Happersett, 88 U.S. 21 Wall. 162 162 (1874)
“No person except a natural-born citizen or a citizen of the United States at the time of the adoption of the Constitution shall be eligible to the office of President” and that Congress shall have power “to establish a uniform rule of naturalization.” Thus, new citizens may be born or they may be created by naturalization. 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, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners.
Suffice it to say, Article II “natural born citizens” are those citizens who are “born in the country, of parents who are citizens.”
Hence, Obama is not an Article II “natural born citizen” of the United States, even if he was born in Hawaii, as his father was a “foreigner”… To reiterate, Obama’s father was not a citizen of the United States. Therefore, Obama is not an Article II “natural born citizen” of the United States.
Moreover, according to the British Nationality Act of 1948, Obama was “a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies” at birth because his father was “a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies at the time of the birth”. Hence, Obama is not an Article II “natural born citizen” of the United States…
Obama acknowledges at his Fight the Smears website that his birth was governed by the British Nationality Act of 1948.
