How Marco Rubio Could Destroy the Apple Cart
· Monday, April 2, 2012The collusion of silence that only "a bomb" can end
When Joseph Farah, founder of World Net Daily, appeared recently on the Sean Hannity program, the possibility of Marco Rubio being chosen for Vice-President was raised. Farah responded that he isn't eligible to be President or Vice-President because he is not a natural born citizen. His common-sense, plain-&-simple observation hit a brick wall. That wall may be one erected by Hannity's boss, Rupurt Murdock, who has a whole corral of people who will never discuss the issue of presidential eligibility. Or it may have been a wall of ignorance. (-it could possibly be both.)But can everyone born in America be President? Only in the delusional dream of the erroneous "common knowledge" misconception that makes independent thought and inquiry unnecessary. It's replaced instead by "group-think" which has a notorious history of being wrong, as it is again regarding one illegitimate President named Barack Obama.
In America today, few people have been awakened to the issue of who is and is not eligible to be the President, -myself included until a year ago when I received an email from my sister with a link to an article at WND. What I read was a surprise to me, and altered the course of the next year significantly. I don't remember even having any thought about the subject until then. And it's clear that the rest of the nation is as clueless as I was because the only national stage that's serving to wake them up has been the internet, not Congress nor the courts, -not the mains-stream media or the legal profession. But they need to be awakened badly.
Marco Rubio could do it, and he may be the only person that could (aside from a better informed Donald Trump or Ron Paul) because the media seems to be either astonishingly ignorant or in a collusion of silence.
What could he do and how could he do it? He could force the nation to take note of the fact that our current President is not constitutionally qualified to serve as President or Vice-President. He could do that upon being chosen as or offered the spot of Vice-President. He could hold a press conference and announce to the nation that he would love to serve, be honored to serve, but cannot serve because he is constitutionally unqualified to serve. Then he could explain that he was born to foreign parents and not American parents and therefore was not born as a natural American citizen as required by the Constitution. *
Those words would be like dynamite in the nation's conversation. Everyone would finally wake the heck up because it would be all over every form of talk media, especially if he made the announcement at the Republican Convention. That explosion of consciousness would blow-up the candidacy of Barack Obama because his aura of legitimacy would be thrown into question in everyone's mind as they'd come to realize that someone born to foreigners, or a foreign father, cannot possibly be a natural, native, United States citizen.
Currently, the conventional wisdom is that anyone who is "native-born" is a citizen and therefore eligible to be President. That's one misunderstanding, but it has a companion among some at the opposite side of the political spectrum who believe that both a native birth and citizen parents are required. But the Constitution makes no reference to one's place of birth, -only that one be a "natural born citizen". So the Goldilocks middle was simply Americans who were born to Americans, (no one born to foreigners was eligible).
But to be technically correct, it should be stated as: U.S. citizens who were born to U.S. citizens because it was a government that was being formed, -not a country. Americans became United States citizens instead of British subjects via the ratification of the Articles of Confederation which created the United States of America. Before then there was no such thing as a citizen of the United States, so there also was no such thing as a natural born citizen of the United States either. They were either natural born American subjects of a particular colony of Great Britain or naturalized subjects of a colony. But by the Articles of Confederation, all became citizens of the United States even though by generations of habitual useage, that generation continued to use the word "subject" interchangeably with "citizen".
Historically, a natural born citizen meant any child born to an American father married to the child's mother. American children were automatically born with the same citizenship as their father, inheriting his via patrilineal descent. They lived under his roof and belonged to him until they lived on their own, or in the case of daughters, belonged to their husband.
If an American male married a foreign female, then her foreign nationality was supplimented with American citizenship via a policy known as automatic naturalization based on "derivative citizenship". Her citizenship was derived from his since he was the head of the household. The U.S. government once followed that ancient tradition. By it the foreign wife was granted her husband's nationality. It was known as "naturalization by marriage". So she adopted her husband's name, family, and nationality all on the same day. Truly a new beginning. That way, it was impossible for an American man to have a wife who was not an American also. *
Currently most Americans, regardless of position or profession, -including the legal profession, are under the misconception that anyone who is "native-born" can be President, but that is erroneous for 3 significant reasons.
Reason #1. Being "native-born" does not make one a native if one is not born to native parents. "Native-born" persons who are born to foreign fathers are not natural American natives since natural natives are only born to fathers who are already natives (even if they were nativized by being naturalized). Immigrant parents cannot produce natural natives. Instead their children are naturalized native-born citizens, -they're naturalized automatically at birth by the 14th Amendment which was ratified 81 years after the Constitution's presidential eligibility clause was written.
"Native-born" naturalized citizens must be born in America in order to be naturalized at birth and obtain U.S. citizenship because they are not the product of natives of America, but of natives of another country. It's their birth and life in America that gives them a connection to America that's stronger than the connection to their parents' native country. But natural natives can be born anywhere because they are born with the unalienable right to inherit their native parents' membership in their nation even if their birth happens to occur, by happenstance outside the nation's borders.**
Reason #2. Being "native-born" does not convey citizenship upon everyone born to foreigners in America because not all foreigners are legal immigrants and thus members of American society whose children are granted citizenship by the authority of the 14th Amendment. Some are foreign Diplomats, foreign military personnel, foreign tourists, and foreign students (Obama Sr.) who are designated by the INS as "non-immigrant aliens" Their U.S.-born children are also under the authority and protection of their parents' foreign government. And they're protected politically by international treaty.
The INS has the legal authority to treat such children as U.S. citizens, but it does not have the constitutional authority to do so since its policy is in violation of the meaning of the 14th Amendment. The result is the "anchor baby" phenomenon and conundrum for which the amendment is not responsible. "Open borders" liberals in the executive branch are responsible and no one has the political courage to contest their bastardized perversion of the constitutional amendment aimed solely at freed slaves and the children of America's legal immigrants.
Reason #3. Being a non-descript citizen of the United States is fine for any and every other office of the federal government except that of the President, but the Commander-in-Chief must be a natural born citizen. Just as all "native-born" persons are not citizens, so also, all native-born citizens are not natural born citizens.
Those who are born to foreigners who are legal immigrants but are not naturalized citizens, do not qualify for the presidency because they are the off-spring of foreigners, with an inherited background of a foreign heritage. Their citizenship is "native-born" constitutional citizenship via the 14th Amendment, and not natural citizenship via Natural Law. Before the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1866 (two years earlier) they had no legal right whatsoever to possess United States citizenship. It was up to the individual States and local judicial decision whether or not they were granted State citizenship, -without which they would not possess U.S. citizenship.
But natural citizens possess their membership in the American nation in the total absense of any law or constitutional clause that "grants" them that which they already possess naturally via birth to members.
Marco Rubio is a native-born constitutional American citizen. If his father had completed the naturalization process before he was born then his parents would have been American citizens when he was born, instead of Cuban citizens. Only children of American citizens are eligible to be the President, -not the children of foreigners. That's what the Constitution mandates.
If Senator Rubio were to be cognizant of this fact, and proclaim it openly to the American people, then he could bring down the presidency of Barack Obama, or at the least prevent him from being allowed to be the Democrat candidate. That would spell the end of his illegitimate presidency and the worst constitutional violation of the office of the President in American history.

** But it didn't work the same for American women. Some of them could and did have foreign husbands. Producing children with a foreigner resulted in a conflict of nationalities and a child having two competing national allegiances if the government recognized her children as citizens of both countries. In the course of reading and research covering a span of a hundred thousand words or more, this writer has never come across any mention nor hint that the U.S. government attributed U.S. citizenship to children of American women who married foreign men until the passage of the Cable Act in 1922 which repealed the 1907 U.S. Nationality Act that expatriated such women, -resulting in her children not possessing U.S. citizenship.
***Presidential ineligibility that's based not on inherited "foreign blood" but on the mere happenstance of one's mother's location at the moment of delivery is an idea that's elementary to say the least, and totally devoid of any rational applicable principle related to a singular allegiance to the land of one's people, -not "the land of one's birth". The land be damned. (or the ice be damned in the case of the Arctic and Antarctica) It matters not where one is born, but what does matter is to whom one is born. Presidential ineligibility based on happenstance would be the irrational result if the sons of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln or Dwight Eisenhower happened to have insisted that they exit their mother's womb before she could return back across the border during a visit to Niagara Falls in Canada. You know how rational that is.
If born within the borders of a neighboring country while one's native-citizen parents were visiting there, would one's life be significantly altered if that one day or hour of their whole life could be made to disappear from their life-history and experience? Absolutely not. Nothing would change. So there's no rational basis to think that such a birth location holds any meaning or significance whatsoever, especially when it comes to presidential eligibility and a citizen like John McCain. To argue otherwise is to argue that our founding fathers were idiots and choose to deny access to the presidency to the children of America's ambassadors and diplomats who through no fault of their own, were not born within U.S. borders.]
