The Bigamy of Obama’s Citizenship

THE PRESIDENT MUST HAVE LIFELONG ALLEGIANCE
by Sally Vendée
(May 5, 2010) — Following the publication of a previous editorial which explored the status of Obama’s citizenship and allegiance while he was aged 18 through 23, commenters argued that only his status at birth is of consequence in the argument of Article II eligibility. Attorney Mario Apuzzo explains:
“Natural born Citizen” status requires not only birth on U.S. soil but also birth to parents who are both U.S. citizens by birth or naturalization. This unity of jus soli (soil) and jus sanguinis (descent) in the child at the time of birth assures that the child is born with sole allegiance…
US citizenship (not necessarily “natural born”) is required of Senators and Representatives under Article I, thus “naturalized” US citizens are eligible for these positions. Those officials who became naturalized at some point in their adult lives would have taken the Oath of Naturalization. This Oath requires the following declaration:






An election for President and Commander in Chief of the Military must strive to be above reproach. Our public institutions must give the public confidence that a presidential candidate has complied with the election process that is prescribed by our Constitution and laws. It is only after a presidential candidate satisfies the rules of such a process that he/she can expect members of the public, regardless of their party affiliations, to give him/her the respect that the Office of President so much deserves.
