"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. As the society cannot exist and perpetuate itself otherwise than by the children of the citizens, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all their rights. The society is supposed to desire this, in consequence of what it owes to its own preservation; and it is presumed, as matter of course, that each citizen, on entering into society, reserves to his children the right of becoming members of it. The country of the fathers is therefore that of the children; and these become true citizens merely by their tacit consent. We shall soon see whether, on their coming to the years of discretion, they may renounce their right, and what they owe to the society in which they were born. I say, that, in order to be of the country, it is necessary that a person be born of a father who is a citizen; for, if he is born there of a foreigner, it will be only the place of his birth, and not his country."Note the following text --"As the society cannot exist and perpetuate itself otherwise than by the children of the citizens, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all their rights." Further clarification --"The society is supposed to desire this, in consequence of what it owes to its own preservation; and it is presumed, as matter of course, that each citizen, on entering into society, reserves to his children the right of becoming members of it. The country of the fathers is therefore that of the children;" And the final blow to Barack Hussein Obama --"I say, that, in order to be of the country, it is necessary that a person be born of a father who is a citizen; for, if he is born there of a foreigner, it will be only the place of his birth, and not his country." The subject of "natural law" found in the Law of Nations is entirely consistent with the Royal British purpose of the term "natural born citizen." It keeps the family bloodline intact on the basis of the father's blood, aka "natural law." It is the source from which our nation's Founding Fathers entered those words into the US Constitution, under Article II --Section I --Clause V; "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;" Not "native" or "naturalized" or "citizen," but only "natural born" citizens can hold the office of president. The matter is quite clear and it is on this basis that I have written that John Sidney McCain is indeed a "natural born citizen" of the United States, and the Barack Hussein Obama is not, no matter where in the world he might have been born. A Hawaiian birth certificate for Barack Hussein Obama solves nothing, other than curiosity. A "certification of live birth" means even less, as it only confirms that a child was indeed "born live" --with no reference as to where that birth took place, or who attended or witnessed that birth. Some argue that the XIV Amendment altered the meaning of the term "natural born citizen."
"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States;" However, the XIV Amendment makes no mention of "natural born citizen" as it was written to address issues of "immigration" and "naturalization," --which excludes any redress regarding "native" or "natural born" citizens of the Unites States. In short, "natural born" is the exact opposite of "naturalized." They are two completely different subjects and as we know, "naturalized citizens" cannot hold the office of President, though they are indeed "citizens" with otherwise equal rights. As Barack Hussein Obama's stated birth father, Barack Hussein Obama, Sr. was at no time in his life a citizen of the United States, but rather a British subject and native citizen of Kenya, it is not possible for Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. to be a "natural born citizen" of the United States. It is therefore not possible for Barack Hussein Obama Jr. to be a constitutionally qualified resident of the people's White House. Does it matter? Does the "will of the people" trump the US Constitution via the outcome of an election which happened as a result of fraud, in which the candidate concealed the fact that he is not a "natural born citizen?"
