A QUESTION OF ALLEGIANCE?
by Sharon Rondeau
(Oct. 19, 2013) — In a weekly newsletter issued on October 18, Rep. Steve Stockman (R-TX 36) stated that Barack Obama is carrying out a plan to “destroy America one step at a time.”
The newsletter does not appear to be on Stockman’s website as of this writing on which he criticized the agreement Congress reached on Wednesday evening to reopen closed government departments and raise the debt ceiling to an unlimited amount.
Stockman served one term in the House during the mid-1990s in the Clinton administration.
The national debt increased by $328 billion on Thursday, bringing the total owed to $17.075 trillion.
Stockman advocates smaller government and fiscal responsibility and represents a new congressional district in Texas. He reports himself as “the most conservative Congressman in Texas.”
Donny Ferguson is Stockman’s media representative.
During the shutdown, Obama and the Senate refused to consider individual spending bills proposed by the House of Representatives other than military pay and military death benefits, which Obama signed.
Stockman has reportedly promised to push for a congressional investigation into the forgery of the long-form birth certificate posted on the White House website since April 27, 2011. The lead investigator of the Maricopa County, AZ Cold Case Posse, Mike Zullo, has expressed confidence that Stockman will abide by his pledge. If Congress ultimately does not act, Zullo has said that he will release all of the information gathered during the now-25-month investigation covering the birth certificate, Selective Service registration form, and background of Barack Obama.
A second source has reported that Congress is scrutinizing the issue of Obama’s constitutional eligibility may be proceeding.
On October 18, Stockman was said to have distributed copies to all members of the House a copy of a book entitled Impeachable Offenses: The Case for Removing Barack Obama
from Office, written by Brenda Elliott and Aaron Klein and published on August 27. The Post & Email reported on an interview which Elliott had provided to radio show host Andrea Shea King in which Elliott contended that Fast & Furious; the releasing of illegal aliens into certain areas troubled by illegal immigration; the circumvention of Congress to declare “law;” the alleged rewriting of the Obamacare law by the IRS after it was deemed to be a tax by the U.S. Supreme Court; and winning a secret victory with a FISA court which permitted widespread and systematic NSA surveillance on Americans for the first time in U.S. history were impeachable offenses.
In 2007, questions about Obama’s constitutional eligibility arose after left-leaning pundit Chris Matthews stated that Obama was born in Indonesia. Article II, Section 1, clause 5 of the U.S. Constitution states that the president and commander-in-chief must be a “natural born Citizen,” which is understood by most Americans to mean born in the United States. Controversy has ensued as to whether or not the original intent of the term included the citizenship of the parents, although history and several Supreme Court cases indicate that it did.
Former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, who was born in Austria, is now asking that “the law” be changed to allow him to run for president. In actuality, a constitutional amendment would have to be passed by two-thirds of Congress and three-quarters of the state legislatures since the Article II requirement is present in the U.S. Constitution, not as a statute.
In 2008, Bill Clinton hinted that Obama might not be constitutionally eligible for the presidency under Article II. Obama claims a foreign-citizen father and dual citizenship at birth, further clouding the issue of eligibility and allegiance.
Sen. Ted Cruz, who may be considering a run for president in 2016, was born in Canada to one U.S.-citizen parent. His citizenship and eligibility became a matter of public discussion in August.
In a letter to George Washington written on July 25, 1787, John Jay asked whether or not only a “natural born Citizen” should be eligible to the presidency in order “to provide a strong check to the admission of foreigners into the administration of our national government.” Jay became the first Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court.
Steve, Obama is not trying to destroy America, he is destroying America while Criminal Presentments have been locked down to prevent any prosecution for over 5 years. If I were a judge, I would be stamping Discovery, all it takes is ONE judge but they must have threatened to take away all their lolly pops as we have not seen ANY PROSECUTION on ANYONE of this Misprision Of Felony gala administration.
Stockman handed out the booklet to all the members of the House. Again, a Natural-Born Citizen IS a child who is born in the United States (Jus Soli “of the Soil of the United States”)IN ADDITION TO being a child of Parents who are BOTH American Citizens at the time of birth of the child. (100% Jus Sanquinis “Of the blood of Americans.There is no possible way that a person born in the United States whose Parents are both Americans at the time of said person’s birth can be anything else BUT a “Natural-Born Citizen”,THAT is the standard. This standard MUST be met by ALL Presidents and their Vice-Presidents. As the Supreme Coourt ruled in Minor v Happersett,there is NO DOUBT that those born in the U.S. of Parents who are citizens themselves ARE Natural-Born Citizens. To those who do not take into consideration the citizenship of one’s parents,there IS DOUBT. This id controlling Supreme Court Law. It is legal precedent. It has NOT been vacated in any subsequent Supreme Court rulings. To be a Natural-Born Citizen of the U.S. one MUST be born on U.S. Soil and that person’s Parents MUST be Citizens themselves at the time of an NBC’s birth. There is NOTHING hard to fathom here. An American Mother and an American Father conceive a Child who is later born in the U.S. That child is an NBC because he/she meets Jus Soli and Jus Sanquinis. One born overseas of Parents who are Americans is NOT an NBC because that child lacks Jus Soli (McCain). One born in the U.S. of only One American Parent lacks 100% Jus Sanquinis (Obama).One born here to two foreign parents who naturalize AFTER the child is born IN the US lacks 100% American Jus Sanquinis (Rubio), One born outside the US to only one American lacks Jus Soli and has only 50% Jus Sanquinis (Cruz). You get the point.
Thank you for reiterating this. It is the only combination which seems to guarantee that candidates do not have any other citizenship, which the Founding Fathers wanted to avoid. One wonders if McCain, having been born OFF base in Panama, may have automatically acquired Panamanian citizenship. In any case, had he been born ON BASE he would have technically been on American soil. That Senate proclamation always seemed strange, because we should not be relying on a meaningless Senate proclamation when the Constitution ALREADY paves the way. One has read also that Santorum’s father was not naturalized until AFTER the presidential was born.
Santorum..presidential hopeful it should read
I have mailed to Congressman Stockman copies of my books, “The Obama Timeline” and “Can It All Be A Coincidence?” They should give him more ammunition with which to fight the thug-in-chief.
More and more people are joining the patriots that have been trying for over five years to rid our country of the DNC and foreign born criminal Alinsky/Communist/Muslim tactics while the majority of liberal press fights to cover up the illegal overthrow of our Constitution and usurpation/coup that has been awarded to a rogue illegal child of Malcolm X and Elizabeth Ann Newman a fugitive from justice now being protected by this criminal administration and all of it’s lackluster criminals at the top who are Nancy Princess Pelosi/Joe Shotgun Biden who falsified the eligibility of Bari Shabazz and his illegal dual citizenship to puppet the DNC takeover of America and the theft of trillions of dollars from multiple areas of America’s wealth. Their plot and prosecution may never be seen by Ameirca’s public who is waiting now for five years under a corrupted judicial being held hostage by this administration under threat to their families for any Discovery that may appear in any court. It only takes one judge to sign a Criminal Presentment to reach Discovery and so far no judges have the guts to stand for the Constitution or save America from the Usurper and Coup that has been allowed and protected. Meanwhile, they are illegally arresting and imprisoning Veterans that have stood for the Constitition and ruined their careers for their own paychecks and preservation from prosecution.
I hope the snowball grows on this issue as well as the Benghazi fiasco.
