Now Let Us Begin

‘My Fellow Americans:

‘As we set out on the next leg of our journey - to set things to rights, in this country, and the world - one of the elements of that intention is the matter of the proper definition of terms.  For rather pertinent example:

‘One of the eligibility requirements for the office of the presidency of the United States - and that particular federal office only, signifying its unique nature in the eyes of the constitutional Framers - is that the occupant of that office needs to be a, quote, “natural born citizen,” unquote.  So, not just any kind of citizen, but a special kind of citizen.  Now, what would be the definition of that term, as understood by the constitutional Framers, who incorporated it into their constitutional contract as an eligibility requirement for that particular office?  Well, that should be easy to find out: just peruse the historical record for the evidence.  And there it is, plain - as - day.  In the definitive tome of the day on such nation-building matters, a work by a Swiss man named Emer de Vattel, entitled ‘The Law Of Nations’.  And which there is considerable historical evidence that the Framers were aware of.  In which the definition of a ‘natural born’ citizen is a person, quote, “born in the country, of parents who are citizens,” unquote.  

‘Which makes perfect sense in this regard, inasmuch as the whole point of the exercise on the part of the constitutional Framers was to make sure that the occupant of that particular office - who would as well, then, become the Commander in Chief of the nation’s military forces; which there is ample historical evidence was the primary concern of the Framers in this regard - had NO DUAL OR OTHERWISE CONFLICTING LOYALTIES OR ALLEGIANCES OR INFLUENCES.  Had SOLE ALLEGIANCE to the United States, in this case.  

‘And almost as though anticipating that there might be some issue arising in the future in regards to this eligibility requirement for that office, a rather pertinent historical fact of matter is that Alexander Hamilton, in his role as a delegate to those proceedings, mede a proposal there that an eligibility requirement for that office be that the occupant need only be, quote, “born a Citizen,” unquote.  And his proposal was SPECIFICALLY TURNED DOWN, in favor of the more stringent category of citizen, that is, a person, quote, “born in the country, of parents who are citizens,” unquote.(*)

‘Now, I am aware that an attempt has been made to water down this eligibility requirement by referring to something called the Naturalization Act of 1790.  But first of all, in rebuttal: that Act of Congress was repealed by a subsequent such Act, called the Naturalization Act of 1795, on this very ground: that its use of the term, a ‘natural born’ citizen, was misleading - and that repeal was signed off on by no less a couple of constitutional authorities as James Madison, the well-regarded ‘Father of the Constitution’ then acting as a representative to Congress, and George Washington, as president.  That is point number one in rebuttal to that argument.  Point number two is that it would take more than an Act of Congress anyway to amend the eligibility requirement in the Constitution for the office of the presidency from its original understanding of the term, a ‘natural born’ citizen; that any subsequent changing of the definition of the term would still require a constitutional amendment to change the requirement itself.

‘We seem here to be getting into the area of the debate between what are called ‘originalists’ - that is, those who take the Constitution to mean what its authors meant, i.e, its original intent; like the contract, between the States and the federal government, that it is - and those who play with semantics and say that the Constitution should be taken as, quote, “a living document”.  The latter of which positions is sophistry, pure and simple; leading to the terrible situation that we are in today, where words mean whatever the judges say they mean.  That is non-sense.  Tomfoolery.  Gobbledygook.  By any other name.

‘And is part of the spirit of Lies and Deception and Deceit that is now to come to its end, and on the planet as a whole.  As we enter into a New Day.  For all of humanity.

‘For this particular nation, that will include the bringing into a court of justice the man called Barack Hussein Obama Jr., on charges of fraud, perjury, and treason (all stemming from the fact, not so much about where he was born but who his birth parents were.  He was toast right there, without the red herring business about the birth certificate); and the dissolution of Congress, and for the authorities of both main political parties to be brought before a court of law on corruption charges, for having obviously colluded in the hijacking of the office of the presidency, and the consequent attempted hijacking of the nation itself - and that is to be a legitimate court of law, no longer this Admiralty Law scurrilous business that this nation has been deceitfully functioning under.  And all manner of other such deceitful shenanigans to be cleaned up.  As we set about setting things to rights.  For the New Era; not only for this nation.  But on Earth.

‘It is a major enterprise that We, the Living have been gifted to engage in, and bring about.  

‘More details to follow.  For now:

‘Let us begin.’
