Natural Born Citizen

Respecting the Constitution

The Current INS Officially Recognizes A Delineation Between Natural-Born and Native-Born.

The Dirty “little” Secret Of The Natural Born Citizen Clause Revealed.

I have emphasized the word “little” because the truth of the law on this issue is very simple, folks. So simple that the mystery is deciphered by application of one of the most clear, concise and undeniable rules of law; the code of statutory construction governs, and therefore, “natural born Citizen” must require something more than being born in the United States.

Let me put it to you in appropriately simple language:

Clause A = “Only a natural born Citizen may be President.”

Clause B = “Anyone born in the United States is a Citizen.”

(While these two clauses reflect Article 2, Section 1, and the 14th Amendment, I shall refer to them as “Clause A” and “Clause B” for now.)

The code of statutory construction is learned by every student in law school, and every practicing attorney has confronted it. Every judge is required to apply the rule equally to all statutes, and the Constitution. There is no wiggle room at all. The rule states that when a court examines two clauses, unless Congress has made it clear that one clause repeals the other, the court must observe a separate legal effect for each. More specifically, regardless of the chronology of enactment, the general clause can never govern the specific.

Clause B is a general rule of citizenship, which states that all persons born in the country are members of the nation.

Clause A is a specific clause that says only those members of the nation who are “natural born” may be President.

According to the rule of statutory construction, the court must determine that Clause A requires something more than Clause B.

It’s truly that simple. This is not some crazy conspiracy theory. It’s not controversial. This is not rocket science. Every single attorney reading this right now knows, beyond any shadow of a doubt, that I have accurately explained the rule of statutory construction to you. Any attorney who denies this rule, is lying. The rule cannot be denied. And its simplicity cannot be ignored.

Now let’s see what the United States Supreme Court has to say about the rule:

“Where there is no clear intention otherwise, a specific statute will not be controlled or nullified by a general one, regardless of the priority of enactment. See, e. g., Bulova Watch Co. v. United States, 365 U.S. 753, 758 (1961); Rodgers v. United States, 185 U.S. 83, 87 -89 (1902).

The courts are not at liberty to pick and choose among congressional enactments, and when two statutes are capable of co-existence, it is the duty of the courts, absent a clearly expressed congressional intention to the contrary, to regard each as effective. “When there are two acts upon the same subject, the rule is to give effect to both if possible . . . The intention of the legislature to repeal `must be clear and manifest.’ ” United States v. Borden Co., 308 U.S. 188, 198 (1939).” Morton v. Mancari, 417 U.S. 535, 550-551 (1974).

This is what I mean by no wiggle room – “The courts are not at liberty to pick and choose among congressional enactments…” Any court construing Clause A is not at liberty to assume that Congress intended to put the words “natural born” into Clause B. The general does not govern the specific, and the rule requires the court to “give effect to both if possible”.

Is it possible to give separate effect to both Clause A and Clause B?

Yes. The Constitution tells us that any Citizen can be a Senator, or Representative, but that to be President one must be a “natural born Citizen”. The Constitution specifically assigns different civic statuses to “Citizens” and “natural born Citizens”. Therefore, not only is it possible to give separate effect to both Clause A and Clause B, it is absolutely required by law, and no court has the ability to circumvent the rule.

Had the original framers intended for any “born Citizen” to be eligible to the office of President, they would not have included the word “natural” in the clause. Additionally, had the framers of the 14th Amendment intended to declare that every person born in the country was a “natural born Citizen”, then the 14th Amendment would contain clear and manifest language to that effect. But it doesn’t. Therefore, each clause must be given separate force and effect.

Deputy Chief Judge Malihi explained the rule of statutory construction in his denial of candidate Obama’s Motion to Dismiss, wherein his opinion of the Court stated:

“Statutory provisions must be read as they are written, and this Court finds that the cases cited by Defendant are not controlling. When the Court construes a constitutional or statutory provision, the ‘first step . . . is to examine the plain statutory language.’ Morrison v. Claborn, 294 Ga. App. 508, 512 (2008). ‘Where the language of a statute is plain and unambiguous, judicial construction is not only unnecessary but forbidden. In the absence of words of limitation, words in a statute should be given their ordinary and everyday meaning.’ Six Flags Over Ga. v. Kull, 276 Ga. 210, 211 (2003) (citations and quotation marks omitted). Because there is no other ‘natural and reasonable construction’ of the statutory language, this Court is ‘not authorized either to read into or to read out that which would add to or change its meaning.‘ Blum v. Schrader, 281 Ga. 238, 240 (2006) (quotation marks omitted).” Order On Motion To Dismiss, Deputy Chief Judge Malihi, Jan. 3, 2012, pg. 3. (Emphasis added.)

Therefore, the term “natural born” must be considered as requiring something more than simple birth in the country. And Judge Malihi states, quite clearly, in his ruling above, that the Court “is not authorized to read into or to read out that which would add to or change its meaning.” The rule is the same for election statutes in Georgia as it is for the Constitution of the United States.

The rule of statutory construction, with regard to the Constitution, was best stated by Chief Justice Marshall in Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. 137 (1803):

“It cannot be presumed that any clause in the constitution is intended to be without effect; and therefore such construction is inadmissible, unless the words require it.” Id. 174. (Emphasis added.)

If the 14th Amendment was held to declare that all persons born in the country, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, were natural-born citizens, then the “natural born Citizen” clause would be rendered inoperative. It would be superfluous. And its specific provision would, therefore, be governed by the general provision of the 14th Amendment. The United States Supreme Court has determined that it is inadmissible to even make that argument.

Any genuine construction of the “natural born Citizen” clause must begin from the starting point that it requires something more than citizenship by virtue of being born on U.S. soil. Minor v. Happersett, 88 U.S. 162 (1874), tells you exactly what that something is; citizen parents.

Bullshit.

They used "natural born" to distinguish from those born prior to the USCON's adoption.

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.

Parentage has nothing to do with it. Citizenship laws in the US are based first jus soli... Citizenship was conferred at the adoption of the USCON regardless of where they had been born or who their parents were. Given that, the Framers were hardly going to parse from thereafter to a most restrictive definition.

One either acquires citizenship at birth, is natural born citizen; or acquires citizenship later in life, is a naturalized citizen. There is no third category of citizenship.

Ignorance - can be corrected through education.

Stupid - is a birthright often passed down in families but sometimes organizationally inherited. Stupid is a choice.

Good point, and from what I have gathered, he never had his named changed back from 'Barry Sotoroe'.

But I think the most damning evidence is, his father not being a US citizen, but a British Subject.

They can smear all the lipstick on that pig they want, but it will still be a PIG!

For him to be eligible, BOTH parents have to be US Citizens.

Did King Solomon offer to split a baby in two or did he not? And not one person in the Bible denied he had the right and the power to do so

You folks have been so brainwashed that you believe that anyone who is pro-choice finds abortion to be preferable to anything else.

Notice how Stone refuses to answer any question about his sexual preferences and practices? Do you know why? He does. It's the "why" he won't answer. He *thinks* that he has a right to privacy. Right there is the Achilles Heal of the pro-gestation movement.

He naively claims that sex is not a political issue when, given gay marriage, sodomy laws, deviant sexual behavior laws etc etc etc sex most certainly IS a political issue.

But.... Why is it then that abortion is just being using as a tool to "clean up the mess" caused by a total lack of cognitive thought????? About 90% or more of abortions procedures done are for that very reason instead of what it should be used for....

That's why some people find abortion disgusting and those who are pro-abortion to be lacking morals.....

This is related to what I said before about total lack of cognitive thought process..... They put themselve into a situation they don't know how or want to deal with..... If they had stopped to "REALLY" think about what they were doing instead of the "Do it if it feels good" attitude then the abortion and/or the post natal abuse would have been avoided.....

But then again why think, that takes too much time, effort and common sense...... something that is sorely lacking in todays world..... hence the popularity of abortion, the solution for terminal stupidity!!!!!!!!

Do you want to give the baby a chance to have the chance at a happy life (foster homes are an option) or do you just think it's easier to have the baby blendered????

Maybe having young children working as janitors is the conservative idea of how to 'care' for children. Is that a standard practice in your adopted country of Israel?

You need to ask yourself why is Israel so sacred to you, that you overlook in that country the same practices that you claim to dislike in this one?
