The Supreme Court has never faced a Constitutional dispute directly pertaining to a natural born citizen defined as those born in the U.S. of citizen parents. The phrase “or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution” in Article 2, Section 1, ingeniously exempted many proven patriotic citizens born of a foreign parent, as was common at the time, from the citizen parentage requirement. This allowed both Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson, to serve as president. Eligibility based on both ‘soil and blood’ was wisely established by the Founding Fathers, to assure the future loyalty of the president to only America, as best they could. Today this tradition has turned to treachery.
Obama simply decided the law didn’t apply to him, and Congress capitulated. When Congress counted the electoral votes during a joint session held to certify the election, any single individual member of Congress could have and should have opposed Obama for not being a natural born citizen. None did. Those members of Congress apparently now feel they are also above the law. The continuing egregious violations of the 10th amendment are proof enough. Such treasonous disregard for the Constitution has caused several states to formally reassert their sovereignty. Another recent example of Congressional arrogance is evident by their having illegally voted themselves an increase in their cost of living allowance, in direct violation of the 27th amendment. [1]
Confirming the adage that the people get the government they deserve, today’s Congress is truly the best money can buy. We the people are losing more and more of our freedoms and liberty to the abuses of government. The Founding Fathers would shudder in horror and revolt at the taxes taken from us by Congressional robber barons who laugh all the way to the bank, while exempting themselves from the worst of the laws they dare pass for us.
Repealing the 17th amendment would return a state appointed adult presence to the Senate. As originally devised, Senators would have no need to campaign, so they can’t take money. This would return accountability to ‘we the people’ and restore the balance of power the Founding Fathers originally intended. The Framers knew that making Senators accountable to State legislators, comprised of well known members of local communities, greatly reduces corruption. After all, if special interests are unable to purchase similar cooperation from everyone involved in making law, then there’s little value in being generous to just members of the House or the president.
Before ‘Obama the usurper’, the Constitution still seemed to matter. However illusory that delusion may have been since the institution of the heinous 17th amendment which, in 1913 was deceptively allowed to cut deep into the very heart and soul of our Constitution. However, now Congress has unabashedly abandoned all pretext of honoring the Constitution. We the people, have blindly bore the burden of their crushing yoke for far too long without complaint. It’s really no surprise that a criminally complicit Congress has let the worst of their ilk, usurp the presidency.
We the people, can no longer turn a blind eye to the dangerous reality that America is being attacked by enemies from within. Our own untrustworthy elected servants are ready, willing and able to allow even worse abuses to now go unabated, including unrecoverable generational debt and the unconstitutional nationalization of entire industries.
“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.”

Clearly there is an inherent danger of not demanding that our elected public servants fully honor the Constitution. Should we allow even one part to be ignored, the entire Constitution is diminished. Then soon, another part is ignored, then another and another after that, until eventually the guarantor of our liberty is surrendered and our freedom is gone.
George Washington offered this sage advice on amendments while also warning us against any changes brought by usurpation of the Constitution.
“To preserve them must be as necessary as to institute them. If, in the opinion of the people, the distribution or modification of the constitutional powers be in any particular wrong, let it be corrected by an amendment in the way which the Constitution designates. But let there be no change by usurpation; for though this, in one instance, may be the instrument of good, it is the customary weapon by which free governments are destroyed.”

Beginning in 1789 when George Washington humbly accepted the honor of being our first president, a 220 year precedent has since been established for the president to be a natural born citizen, unless having been exempt from this requirement as a citizen at the time of the adoption of our Constitution. Chester Arthur was recently discovered to have gone to great lengths to hide the fact that he was not eligible, and was the sole exception before Obama.
Obama assumes the Constitution does not apply to him, however he is not above the law. Obama’s Kenyan father precludes him from being a natural born citizen. Obama, and those who aided and abetted him, must be held accountable for knowingly usurping or assisting in the usurpation of the office of the President of the United States of America. We must honor the Constitution.
The United States Constitution was adopted on September 17, 1787. The Constitution was ratified on June 21, 1788. Prior to this date citizenship was established by the state. As of June 21, 1788 each citizen of a state became a citizen of the United States. No formal naturalization was needed. [2]

The Buchanans were Pennsylvania citizens. James Buchanan Sr. became a citizen of the United States when the Constitution was ratified on June 21, 1788. President James Buchanan Jr. was born April 23, 1791 in Pennsylvania. Therefore James Buchanan Jr. was a natural born citizen, born in the U.S. of two U.S. citizen parents.
Chester Alan Arthur
The Twenty-First President, 1881 – 1885
Native born, not Natural Born, Not Eligible
Birth: Fairfield, Vermont, October 5, 1829

Father: William Arthur, Birth: County Antrim, Ireland, 1796, Naturalized August 1843
Mother: Malvina Stone Arthur, Birth: Berkshire, Vermont, April 24, 1802
Well ahead of eventually realizing his greatest political ambition by assuming the presidency on September 19, 1881, Arthur purposefully perpetrated an elaborate fraud to hide the fact that his emigrated Irish father had not become a naturalized US citizen until August 1843, fourteen years after our 21st president was born in 1829 at Fairfield, Vermont. [3]
Woodrow Wilson
The Twenty-Eighth President, 1913 – 1921

Mother: Jessie Woodrow Wilson, Birth: Carlisle, England, 1830
Emigrated 1834, Married 1849.
Derivative citizenship enabled her to automatically become a U.S. citizen after her marriage to Joseph Wilson.
Therefore Woodrow Wilson was a natural born citizen, born in the U.S. of two U.S. citizen parents.

A congressional Act of February 1855, stated that “any woman who might lawfully be naturalized under existing laws, married, or shall be married to a citizen of the United States, shall be deemed and taken to be a citizen.” [Act of February 10, 1855, 10 Stat. 604, section 2] This was a form of derivative citizenship.
