Did you ever think you would see the day a national political party would actually have to be asked to include in their Party’s Platform the definitive definition of a “natural born Citizen?”
The RNC 2012 Platform Committee has opened up their process to the voters by asking them for their “Ideas” on what they would like to see included in the 2012 strategic document. When you click on the category “Government Reform” and then click on the topic “Courts and the Constitution” you will see 104 “Ideas.”
Out of the 104 “Ideas” posted under this topic area two deal directly with Presidential Qualifications, Article II. The best comment out of the two was one written by a poster named Ralyn S. Here is their “Idea” -
“Define ‘natural born’ as intended by common law and clearly defined in the Supreme Court ruling of Minor vs Hapersett, 1875. A natural born citizen is the offspring of 2 American citizens at the time of birth and born on American soil or to parents of citizens in service to our country if born overseas.”
We too submitted the below “Idea” -
“A natural born citizen is one ‘born in a country of parents who were its citizens’ Minor v. Happersett, 88 U.S. 162 (1875). Our state or federal governments (not our political parties) should certify that every presidential nominee is a natural born Citizen before the nominee’s name can be allowed on any state ballot.”
Funny though, as in odd, strange, peculiar, Article II posted our submission yesterday afternoon around 4:00 pm EDT but it has yet to appear. The comment area appears to be frozen on 104 “Ideas” which is impossible; especially since one of the natural born Citizen submissions was blasted out in a Google Alert yesterday.
Since our “Idea” hasn’t appeared we encourage you to “second” Rayln S “Idea” by clicking -http://rnc.mindmixer.com/courts-and-the-constitution/president-vice-president-elgibilty
And, if you feel so inclined to also copy and paste Ralyn S “Idea” and send it to the RNC Platform Drafting committee members (contact emails are embedded) - Gov. Bob McDonnell (VA), Sen. John Hoeven (N.D.) and Rep. Marsha Blackburn (TN). While you’re writing them ask them to unfreeze the Government Affairs/Courts and the Constitution.
The few minutes you take to write a quick note may very well lead to persuading the RNC 2012 Platform Committee to adopt the Founding Father’s definition of “natural born Citizen.” We feel strongly that the GOP 2012 Platform Committee needs to hear from voters and who knows, it may lead to prompting an immediate congressional investigation into answering the question:
Why would any party be allowed to present an ineligible candidate for the President of the United States on any state ballot?
Speaking of Congress, Article II Super PAC has been running full-page ads in the Washington Times Daily and Weekly leading the call for an immediate congressional investigation into Sheriff Arpaio’s Cold Case Posse findings. This week’s ad is the same as the one we ran last week, August 13, but with a more tantalizing headline. This same ad, with a bit of tweaking, will run again in next week’s Washington Times Special “Republican National Convention” edition. Which means every attendee will receive a copy free of charge. Given the fact the entirety of nearly all state and federally elected representatives will be attending, we want to make certain our demand for an immediate congressional investigation is seen by the insiders.
REMINDER: Article II asks everyone to please call your congressional members to demand an immediate investigation into the forged documents Sheriff Arpaio’s Cold Case Posse announced to the world at their July 17, 2012 press conference in Arizona. If you do not want to call your representative then we strongly encourage you to call Majority Whip Eric Cantor’s office at 202.225.2815.

The definition is “One born on US soil of Citizen Parents”.
None of this “and parents of citizens in service born overseas”
That Isn’t what the founders wanted.
It is poor grammar also.
In the case of one born to “A parent of cirizen in service” the “citizen in service” is at least 18 years old already. There are cases ub which Non Americans are the Parents of a “citizen in service”. That does not make them or their child NBCs.
I beliieve Ryan wanted the CHILDREN of those in service born overseas to be included in the definition of NBC.
However,that is NOT the law.That would require a Constitutional Amendment.

I can’t understand why we have to add anything to Article II. We have lived with it since its inception and never before in our history has there ever been any reason to doubt its meaning. It isn’t the wording of Art II that needs to be questioned. It is those that would try to change its meaning and intent to suit their own evil purposes that are in question. What needs to be changed is the vetting process. The law that vetts all presidential candidates all the way down to the States should be clarified. The FBI should be The first and major vetting athority as they are responsible for checking all candidates to make sure they are not a National Security risk. The Secretaries of all the states and/or the Attorney Generals of all the stats should be responsible for vetting as well in the event that someone gets by the FBI. Obama needs to be stopped and anyone that chooses to follow in his footsteps needs to be stopped now, once-in-for-all before they ever have a chance to get a start. The laws are already in place. It is the lawyers that are the problem.
