I don’t like to talk about the “Birthers.” They don’t deserve serious treatment, except the occasional concise or snarky explanation of why they’re wrong, both of which are done better elsewhere, at a friend’s site.

The following are a select number of the posts* I made to the commentary section on this article as; “tim” or “timbo” –primarily to counter the myriad distortions, disinformation & outright/bald-faced lies that were being promulgated on this page The sight was crawling with an assortment of despicable obfuscating- obscurantist- “Obots” aka “The Deceitful One’s” blindly compliant disciples. The depths of depravity to which they were/are capable of stooping seem to know no bounds:
One of my early replies to an individual who was determined to advance the common mis-perception that B.O. Jr had furnished a copy of what any reasonable person would recognize as a legitimate, irrefutable, record of his birth in an institutional setting, ie hospital will start things “rolling”–

“You are wrong in every respect i haven’t the time to go over it all now do your homework you are woefully ignorant
your very last statement says it all
we have not had any past President(excepting Chester Arthur who pulled off this scam back in the 1880′s) whose parents were “citizens from other countries” There have been a couple of Presidents who had IMMIGRANT parents. Those parents became full-fledged citizens of the U.S. pledging allegiance to this country and renouncing all others before they went on to have their child who would grow up to become Pres.
BO Sr WAS NOT AN IMMIGRANT TO THE U.S. He was a visitor on a gov’t student visa , merely a sojourner not even permanently domiciled here. If he were alive today he could very well be sitting at the helm of a foreign sovereignty
The “birth cert” is a distraction from the real issue, although I would still like to see the long-form , hospital generated version- doc’s sig witness(s) sig- all other rel vital data

Yes, you may be an American citizen just as well as B.O. Jr may be but the requirement for President is natural born citizen. The soil & THE BLOOD . NO FOREIGN ATTACHMENT IN THECHIEF EXECUTIVE

Dead wrong he has never admitted it and actual US law doesn’t prevent dual citizens even if they still have the status from serving as President.

You’re the one playing the race card and talking about “scary places” What has any of that to do with “natural born citizen”?! — a path to citizenship that can only be taken through 2 citizen parents or 1 , if the other is unknown. Natural born citizenship is inherited NOT acquired. Dual citizenship may be “all the rage” but it simply won’t do for Pres. & Commander-in-Chief
Why do you wish to deny BO Jr his full citizenship rights?

No level of proof will ever satisfy delusional individuals such as yourself. Provide an image of the birth certificate, and you say it’s a fake because there is no seal. Provide an image of the seal, and you say it’s still a fake. Provide the birth certificate to a presumeably disinterested third party for comparison and review, and suddenly they’re conspirators.

Blackstone, Book 1, ch. 10:
“The first and most obvious division of the people is into aliens and natural-born subjects. Natural-born subjects are such as are born within the dominions of the crown of England…”
And later:
“The children of aliens, born here in England, are, generally speaking, natural-born subjects and entitled to all the privileges of such.”

Tim! Long time, no see.
You are of course correct (and that’s one thing I thought I’d never write). Subjects and citizens are not precisely the same thing. However, lawyers (and others) have this little thing called an ‘argument by analogy’, in which they deduce a rule from one existing case to a new, similar one.
If I thought you’d A) read and B) understand them, I could refer you to some sources on the influence of Blackstone on the framing of the Constitution, but frankly, I can’t be arsed.

Why not judge him according to the same standard you would any other candidate for POTUS ? The Framers/Founders intent with
ARTICLE II SEC1 CL 5 was to close off all avenues to foreign influence at the highest of levels. The executive branch and Command in Chief of U.S. Armed forces is off limits to the children of foreigners ..of any stripe be they the off-spring of Kim Jung Il or Mother Teresa. BO Sr died prematurely but this does not give his son a free pass. Had he lived SR. could very well be sitting at the helm of a foreign sovereignty, today .

NATURAL BORN SUBJECT IS NOT = NATURAL BORN CITIZEN

U.S. v Wong Kim Ark:
‘ The foregoing considerations and authorities irresistably lead us to these conclusions—–
Every citizen or subject of another country, while domiciled here…if he hath issue here…his child is as much a citizen as the natural-born child of a citizen..’
The court is comparing the NATIVE -born child of an ALIEN to the “NATURAL BORN” child of a citizen.
Clearly delineating, drawing a distinction between the two in recognizing their individuality. Once again for the Obots and the impaired*: “..is as much a citizen AS ..”

Release from the BO Camp via”Fight the Smears” :
“When Barack Obama Jr. was born on Aug. 4, 1961, in Honolulu, Kenya was a British colony, still part of the United Kingdom’s dwindling empire. As a Kenyan native, Barack Obama Sr. was a British subject whose citizenship status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.‘s children.
Since Sen. Obama has neither renounced his U.S. citizenship nor sworn an oath of allegiance to Kenya, his Kenyan citizenship automatically expired on Aug. 4,1982.”
The British Nationality Act of 1948 (Part II, Section 5): Subject to the provisions of this section, a person born after the commencement of this Act shall be a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies by descent if his father is a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies at the time of the birth.

*****WARNING****HERE IT COMES*******————->
To all the 14th Amend spouters:
It may be time to cue the legendary John Bingham Representative of Ohio & “Father of the Fourteenth Amendment”—quote:
“[I] find no fault with the introductory clause [S 61 Bill], which is simply declaratory of what is written in the Constitution, that every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is, in the language of your Constitution itself, a natural born citizen…[6]“
Comment by Tim March 18, 2009 @ 6:09 am
To Tim:
A comment by a single member of the House of Representatives as to his understanding of the meaning of “Natural-born Citizen” is not stare decisis and is not in any way binding on the Supreme Court. The Court is the body that interprets the Constitution, not whomever.
Analyzing the stawtement logically you seem to be drawing the following conclusion
If A then B
therefore
If not A then not B. (This is a false logical conclusion.)
Bingham’s statement ” that every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is, in the language of your Constitution itself, a natural born citizen…” does not logically lead to the conclusion that every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States of parents owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is not a natural born citizen.

Furthermore, I have my doubts as to the veracity of that quote. It comes from the Wikipedia article on John Bingham, but the supporting source doesn’t contain the quote.
Furthermore, the quote was added recently to the WP article, by a guy who is most certainly a Birther, and therefore biased, and who pushes the disproven birther interp. of Wong Kim Ark.
Sorry buddy. Show me legislative history that has that quote – NOT a Wikipedia article that you or your friends edited to say that.

Cymraeg, you’re not going to believe this: Bingham DID say something about who is a “natural born citizen.” However, the quote, and the meaning of it, is the EXACT OPPOSITE of what Tim’s saying!
As John Bingham explained, “I find no fault with the introductory clause [of the Act], which is simply declaratory of what is written in the Constitution, that every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States [is] … a natural born citizen.” Id. at 1291

I recited Bingham’s words ;quoting directly the written text from the Library of Congress’ copy of the “Congressional Globe” which provided this account of the 39th Congress’ 1st session dated 03/09/1866 It appears precisely as I have stated in my initial response, above.(not “ACG’s” abridged version)
You know,folks, all of this “gotcha” & “one-upsmanship” is really silly. I made a few citations and provided a quote or two because I thought it might be helpful to some but I have never had to resort to such measures. As a 12 yr old, years ago, I needed nothing more than to read the Constitutional Clause itself ( Art II Sec 1 ) in order to very quickly conclude that a Natural Born Citizen of the U.S. is one born of citizen parents(naturalized or natural born)and on the soil. jus sanguinis , jus soli. the tip off, logically speaking; ‘or a citizen at the time of the adoption of the Constitution’ There was no disagreement over the “definition” of “natural born citizen” among my fellow students most debate centered around whether or not it was fair or still relevant. All agreed that if one did not like it then one should pursue the proposal and passage of a Constitutional Amendment The only legal “remedy” available. Seeking to obscure the meaning of the eligibility req and therefore circumvent the law is not fix. and as i have hinting earlier; does us all a great disservice

Of course the birfers have no cogent argument for the presidency of Chester Arthur, whose Irish-born father was not naturalized until he was a teenager:
Naturalization Certificate of William Arthur, 1843
It is especially interesting to note that while Arthur’s eligibility to serve as VP (and thus President) was challenged on the basis of an untrue accusation that he was born in Ireland, no one chose to challenge his eligibility on the fact of his father’s non-citizen status at the time of his birth.

I can’t speak for all those of whom you speak; pre “certification of live birth posting”people. I can tell you that there is no conspiracy or urban legend as you prefer to call it ; among those of us who have always well understood the Pres eligibility requirement. However, the fact that there are some who confuse the terms native born* and natural born*, whether they dwell among us today or lived 100 yrs+ ago, does not alter the meaning. The birth certificate and a possible foreign birth is the “sexier” issue it is easier for most to grasp or more convenient to apprehend/ grab a hold of . Arthur Hinman ran with it back in old Chet Arthur’s day and the Phil Berg’s of the world are trumpeting it today ;much to the delight, I imagine, of both individuals at the center of the storm. It is a welcome distraction from the real issue and that is a far less’ sexy’ more sedate accounting. There is nothing “anti-immigrant” about better(no guarantees, mind you) insuring loyalty for the very top position in one’s country.
Again, if you don’t care for it–there is a prescribed method for change and that is an Amendment not complete disregard for the law and the will of the Framers- our Founding Fathers -this was to best provide for the avoidance of competing allegiances and divided loyalties. Mr.Obama’s father was NOT an immigrant. He was a visitor who remained in the country only for so long a period as was commensurate with his studies. He then returned to his native land…forever.(one brief visit to US when his son was 12) He could , had he so desired and was successful in a bid , have become President of Kenya and we would now be dealing with the very situation that the natural born clause is designed to preclude for taking place; The Head of a foreign sovereignty reigning while their natural off-spring sits at the helm of another nation and in command of its armed forces.
*native born=born in the country
natural born=far more expansive; includes hereditary right
the key is– status- at -birth . it is a fixed condition and remains with you for so long as you shall live unless you’ve come up with some way to go back in time to “unfix” things ![]()
