Does Tea Party Express not care about illegal alien amnesty?

Thank you Tea Party Express for simplifying who I donate my 2012 dollars to: you are OFF my list!

I don’t know why they would pick Rubio. He started distancing himself from the tea party 2 weeks after they helped to get him elected. Oh and he’s not eligible either.

"I disagree about Jindal and Rubio not being nbC"
Please explain why/how Rubio is a natural born citizen. Were both of his parents United States citizens at the time of his birth?

"Sorry, the precedent has been set with the Kenyan—if you are an anchor baby you are now eligible to be president.
Got a problem take it up with SCCJ Roberts...I'm sure he will give you a hearing--nyuck nyuck reality sux don't it?"

If Chester Arther and Obama set the precedent by getting away with it then since some have gotten away with murder, murder is now legal. Do I have that correct?

Why should we have a VP who can’t run for President, or succeed Romney if he dies of a heart attack?

Red and all those who say Rubio is not natural born. Obama asked his good friend George Soros to change all those pesky findings, precedents and laws so they would be easier to understand that anyone who knows someone who owns an hawaiian shirt is a natural born citizen and therefore qualifies for the office of President of this great nation The United States of America. Wasn’t that special?

"Both Rubio and Jindal are citizens of the USA, being born in Florida and Louisiana, thirty five years old and have lived here for the last fourteen years, and they can prove it. "
All of that being true, they are still not natural born citizens of the United States, as their parents were not citizens at the time of their birth.
They are eligible for Senator or as Congressmen, as the requirement is only to be a citizen.
Natural born is only for the position of President. But you knew that.

“Both Rubio and Jindal are citizens of the USA”
Yes, but they are NOT Article II, Section 1, Clause 5, NATURAL BORN CITIZENS. BOTH parents have to be “U.S. citizens” at the the time of the child's birth.
EVERYONE at the time of the founding knew exactly why “citizen” was changed to be “Natural Born Citizen”. They relied on Vattel’s “The Law of Nations” definition. Copies of which were in the library, in French AND English, where the constitution was written.
The Supreme Court has stated the same in several opinions/decisions.
There is NO DOUBT,

“There is no law that requires citizen parents. Wise up!”
lololol...the law states that only Natural Born Citizens are eligible to be president......The Founding Fathers didn’t coin the term Natural Born Citizen, it was well used and understood in the 18th century to mean a person born in a country to parents who were it’s citizens.
Your post makes no sense.

I don’t think Romney is going to chose RINO Rubio as his VP. Romney the politician, as we all know, (LoL) knows how to stick his finger in the wind and who will chose to avoid the NBC controversy
The Constitution was written in the library?
ReplyDeleteTea Party Express just announced who won their VP poll among Tea Partiers. They didn't "endorse" Rubio for VP or say they were going to campaign on his behalf. They were just sharing results from a survey... No need to get worked up about it.
ReplyDeleteSince the meaning of Natural Born Citizen comes from the common law and refers to the PLACE of birth, not the parents, both Rubio and Jindal are eligible.
ReplyDelete“Under the longstanding English common-law principle of jus soli, persons born within the territory of the sovereign (other than children of enemy aliens or foreign diplomats) are citizens from birth. Thus, those persons born within the United States are "natural born citizens" and eligible to be President. Much less certain, however, is whether children born abroad of United States citizens are "natural born citizens" eligible to serve as President ..."---- Edwin Meese, et al, THE HERITAGE GUIDE TO THE CONSTITUTION (2005) [Edwin Meese was Ronald Reagan’s attorney general, and the Heritage Foundation is a well-known Conservative organization.]

ReplyDeleteBaloney. They relied on the common law. They read BLACKSTONE a lot more than they read Vattel, and Vattel is not even mentioned once in the Federalist Papers, while the common law is mentioned about twenty times.
