I fought the Law, and the Law Won

Recently, I began participating in a Room on PalTalk. It's interesting how the system works where only one person at a time can speak, unlike SkypeCast, where several could get very verbal. One room in particular covers the topic of the recent President Elect and his lack of documents to prove he is a Citizen of these great United States.

First off. I would like to make one thing perfectly clear. If, and that's a "Big IF", this man is a natural born citizen of the United States, he would have no problem proving it. I know if I were elected to the Highest Office in my Country (USA), I wouldn't have a problem with it. It's obvious he has something to hide.

Now, back to PalTalk.

I have listen in on a particular Chat Room for maybe a week. The longer I listened, the more ignorant people would sound. The three Gentlemen that had Admin control of the room had thier act together, but the participants were, how should I say it? Dumbshits! Hey, if the shoe fits, right? Anyway. I listen to these people argue back and forth, left and right about the law and citizenship to this great Country of ours. Needless to say, I had, had enough. Well, here is the LAW as it is written in STONE.

The 14th Amendment

If you're going to be involved in government in the United States, citizenship is a must. To be a Senator or Representative, you must be a citizen of the United States. To be President, not only must you be a citizen, but you must also be natural-born. Aside from participation in government, citizenship is an honor bestowed upon people by the citizenry of the United States when a non-citizen passes the required tests and submits to an oath.

Natural-born citizen

Who is a natural-born citizen?

Who, in other words, is a citizen at birth, such that that person can be a President someday? The 14th Amendment defines citizenship this way:

"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."

But even this does not get specific enough. As usual, the Constitution provides the framework for the law, but it is the law that fills in the gaps.

Currently, Title 8 of the U.S. Code fills in those gaps. Section 1401 defines the following as people who are "citizens of the United States at birth:"

Anyone born inside the United States

Any Indian or Eskimo born in the United States, provided being a citizen of the U.S. does not impair the person's status as a citizen of the tribe

Any one born outside the United States, both of whose parents are citizens of the U.S., as long as one parent has lived in the U.S.

Any one born outside the United States, if one parent is a citizen and lived in the U.S. for at least one year and the other parent is a U.S. National

Any one born in a U.S. possession, if one parent is a citizen and lived in the U.S. for at least one year

Any one found in the U.S. under the age of five, whose parentage cannot be determined, as long as proof of non-citizenship is not provided by age 21

Any one born outside the United States, if one parent is an alien and as long as the other parent is a citizen of the U.S. who lived in the U.S. for at least five years (with military and diplomatic service included in this time)

A final, historical condition: a person born before 5/24/1934 of an alien father and a U.S. citizen mother who has lived in the U.S.

Anyone falling into these categories is considered natural-born, and is eligible to run for President or Vice President. These provisions allow the children of military families to be considered natural-born.

Barack Obama DOES NOT fit into ANY of these catagories!

If he did, he would have no problem with proving himself a citizen. He obiously has something to hide.

Now, I made these points perfectly clear as I participated in the PalTalk Chat Room. I realy believe the one thing that irritates me the most is, people that come to the United States have to go through a long hard prosses to become a citizen. AND THEY DO IT WITH GREAT PRIDE! What makes me sick about the whole thing is the "Natural Born's" don't even know the first three word's to the freakin' Preamble.

If your going to shoot your mouth off about right and wrong, and throw the law around.........

YOU BETTER FREAKIN'KNOW THE LAW FIRST!

Comment's are welcome. If you would like more info, just ask. If it's one thing I know as a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN of THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA....
