The U.S. Constitution was a magnificent document. In that long, hot Philadelphia summer, your Founding Fathers thoughtfully debated the instrument of your freedom – a document that inspires all of us who no longer live in the knowledge that the only people who can impose laws or taxes upon us are those whom we have elected.
In today’s Europe, we are ruled by faceless Kommissars elected by none, accountable to none, removable by none. By contrast, the United States is still, in Walt Whitman’s memorable phrase, “the athletic democracy.” Or, rather, it was.
For your governing class has cravenly abandoned the Constitution. Faced with one of the most flagrant and persisting breaches of that great charter of freedom in your nation’s history, they totter fightless from the field.
This is what your Constitution says:
“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.”
No ifs. No buts. This is the ancient and sensible ius soli: you are a citizen of the nation on whose soil you were born. Not born here? Go and play president somewhere else.
A RECURRENCE TO FIRST PRINCIPLES
The United States Constitution is not dead.
The United States Constitution is in full force and effect.
It exists: It cannot be lawfully circumvented; it cannot be abrogated; it cannot be waived; it cannot be dissolved; it exists and it is supreme Law of the Land.
The United States Constitution conveys to the government of the United States the only lawful authority it has.
Legislation passed by Congress and signed by the President but not founded upon subject matter jurisdiction specifically conveyed by the United States Constitution is null and void from the moment of its inception, cannot be lawfully enforced, and is but mere color of law without lawful force or effect.
To the extent the federal government operates outside the subject matter jurisdiction conveyed by the United States Constitution, the federal government has forfeited its lawful right to govern and has become an Occupation Government without lawful authority.
To the extent any federal officer operates outside the lawful constraints and limitations of the United States Constitution, that officer and any officer who does his bidding has forfeited his lawful authority and is operating as a criminal marauder under color of law regardless of any legislation purportedly passed by Congress and signed into color of law by any President or ineligible usurper of the Office of President.
It is the responsibility of every federal officer to read, study, and understand the United States Constitution according to original intent and conduct his official activities accordingly, and that does not mean taking his supervisor’s word for it. He fails to do so at his legal peril: “Es war meine Pflicht!” (“It was my duty!”) didn’t cut it at Neuremberg and it won’t cut it here.
(Note to freedom fighters: While there are some federal officers with at least a modicum of integrity, federal thugs — and especially Marxist federal thugs — won’t see it that way. Be very, very careful.)
