Farewell Address To The Congress

(And Supremer Court Justices Present As Well)

Ladies and gentlemen.  Or gentlemen and ladies, if you personally prefer:

Glad to see you all here.  That you all made it.  That you have proved that you know how to follow directions,  And if you needed your assistants to help direct you here, at least you also, with that assistance, proved that you know how to follow directions.

So, if you have proved that you know how to follow directions, even to be here now, what excuse do you have not to have followed the directions in the law of the land, known as the Constitution, in the matter of the eligibility requirements for the office of the presidency?  How is it that the requirement for the occupant of the office of the President to be a, quote, ‘natural born’ citizen - rather than just any kind of citizen - has failed to register with you? 

What else could that term possibly mean, other than what the constitutional Framers obviously meant it to mean, and how it was defined at their time, by the definitive tome of the day on such matters, Emer de Vattel’s ‘The Law of Nations Or Principles of Natural Law’?  Which it is known that they were familiar with - AND Benjamin Franklin, their respected elder mentor, and who was sitting right there amongst them as a delegate to the Constitutional Convention proceedings himself, is known to have had three copies of that reference book in his possession, if any of the other delegates were not precisely sure what they were being asked to vote on.  

I insist you look at this clearly: Why would the Framers put that eligibility requirement in their contract for that particular federal office - and that particular federal office ONLY??  All any of YOU had to do, to qualify for your positions in this particular regard, was to be merely a, quote, ‘citizen’.  May I humbly suggest what the constitutional Framers could possibly have been getting at, by putting that particular requirement in the Constitution for the office of the presidency?  Are you willing to listen to a logical explanation here??  To have me spell it out for you???  Pretty please????

The logical explanation is that the Framers wanted to make sure that the occupant of that office - who would as well then become the Commander in Chief of the nation’s military forces - had NO DUAL OR OTHERWISE CONFLICTING LOYALTIES OR ALLEGIANCES.  As a naturalized citizen would be subject to.  And as a DUAL citizen would MOST CERTAINLY be subject to.

Thus, they wanted a person in that position who had SOLE ALLEGIANCE to the United States.  For having been born on the soil - jus soli - of TWO U.S citizen parents - jus sanguinis.     

There simply is no question about this.  And you know it.  Ot should have known it.  And thus, have been remiss in you constitutional duty, in the matter of checks and balances in our form of government, to rein in a rogue executive.  And need to answer for your heinous, and exceedingly dangerous, transgression.  And to that end, you are all under arrest, to have your day in court.  A lawful court, that is to say.  One under lawful jurisdiction, of the Common Law.  No more of this ersatz law, this Maritime Law, that this nation has been functioning under, for long enough, now.  As the nation returns to its lawful roots.

Before humanity’s Next Steps can be taken.  Wonderful steps.  But first things first.   

That is all.  You are dismissed, into the hands of the Sergeant of Arms.  And may your time in court, and imprisonment, depending on your degree of culpability in this matter, be a speedy one; that you can join the rest of us, just as soon as possible, in celebrating 

our graduation.
