Obama's Birth a Red Herring

The question of where Obama was born is a distraction to shift the focus away from the real reason why he is unqualified to serve as President of the United States. Kenyan officials and relatives of Obama have a vested interest in saying that he was born there to promote their own country. The real question is not one of birth, but of parentage.

Barry Obama's status follows that of his father. When born in Hawaii in 1961, Obama was a subject of the British Crown like his father. He only obtained US citizenship by virtue of the Fourteenth Amendment.  Hence he is not a natural born citizen.

The question is one of remedy. The federal court in exercising jurisdiction is called upon to decide whether Barack Obama can actually prove that he is qualified to be President. Citizens have a right to demand that our government leaders, and the Commander in Chief in particular, are qualified to hold public office. Because of the separation of powers, it is doubtful whether a federal magistrate can remove someone from the office of President. Congress alone has that power through impeachment proceedings. However, the Constitution only allows impeachment in the case of "high crimes and misdemeanors".

It is worth noting again that Barack Obama took the presidential oath twice, because in the first ceremony there was a defect. This basis of impeachment will have to be fraud on the electorate, which will require proof of intent. This will be difficult to prove in Obama's case, mostly because of prior cases of unqualified candidates running for office.  The court could at some point, however, issue an order barring Obama from seeking reelection in 2012.

Can the Illegitimate Son of an Alien Be President?

Posted by Mike on Monday, October 12, 2009 7:41:00 PM
The answer is no.
http://westernperspective.blogspot.com/
There were certain classes of people excluded by our Founding Fathers from being eligible to hold the office of President of the United States. The first excluded class is citizens of foreign countries or subjects of foreign powers. The second is people who were not US citizens by virtue of being too young or not having been emancipated. The third is people who lived within the states but were not citizens because they belonged to a Native tribe or nation. Barry Hussein Obama born in 1961 in Hawaii is a US citizen because the Fourteenth Amendment grants citizenship to all persons born within the United States of America, and within the jurisdiction thereof. Barry Obama's father Barack Obama was a subject of the British Crown at the time of Barry's birth. He was a resident alien living in Hawaii on a student visa. Barack Obama purportedly married a US citizen in Hawaii. At the time he was married to a Kenyan woman and the Hawaiian marriage is therefore legally invalid. This means that Barry Hussein Obama was illegitimate, something we all knew anyway. This has no bearing on his qualifications to be President of the United States, or lack thereof. Would a child of an alien father here in America illegally, who happens to be born here, be eligible to hold the office of President someday? Most Americans would agree that such an offspring of an alien here illegally would lack the status to qualify for holding the highest office in the land. They would be right. Under our Constitution, such offspring would not be a natural born citizen.

 Does it in any way matter that Barry's father was here legally on a student visa?

Barry's Last Stand

The usurper Barack Obama's time in office is running out.

The federal action Barnett et al. vs. Obama raises the key question of Obama's eligibility. Like it or not, in the final analysis, the question comes down to whether a person with the same parentage status would have had the necessary qualifications to run for federal public office at the time the Constitution was ratified in 1787. By redefining citizenship requirements, Congress cannot expand the qualifications to hold office as laid down in the Constitution.

In my judgment, the question of the question of the location of Barry Obama's place of birth is a red herring. This is the real reason why the Obama camp will not divulge the actual birth certificate. In leaving this question open, the focus is taken away from the real reason why Obama is not qualified.

If in 1787, a person's father was a foreign born subject of the British Crown, that person would not have been qualified as not being a natural born citizen. Barry's father had never renounced his allegiance to the British Crown based upon his citizenship in Kenya at the time of Barry's birth in 1961. Therefore, whether Barry was born in Kenya or Hawaii, his status is still that of one who is not a natural born citizen. He was never qualified to become President for this reason.

The 2008 presidential election was invalid. Obama and Biden will be removed from office once this becomes clear. All of Obama's appointments, including that of Justice Souter's replacement and the numerous czars, are likewise invalid. There will have to be a new election, and a new Supreme Court appointment once the new president is sworn into office. In the meantime, Nancy Pelosi will be the interim president as next in the line of succession.
