Martians, Koreans, Kangaroos, and Natural Citizens
Everyone at the forefront of the issue of Obama’s eligibility to be President pushes a theory about what the Constitution’s words mean regarding a necessary qualification to be President; those words being “natural born citizen.”Those who adhere to a United States transmutation of the bastardized definition of what is a British “natural born subject” hold, like the royal dictator, that mere place of birth within his borders was sufficient to legitimize calling the child of foreign parents a “natural” subject of the King regardless of the fact that such a child was born of aliens and not Englishmen who were real natural subjects.
By their warped thinking, you can call the child of aliens “natural citizens” of the United States if born within U.S. borders, thereby tying a child’s nationality solely to the same doctrine as that of the British Crown; -the Divine Right of Kings, making him, i.e., Obama, eligible to be President. Thus place-of-birth supposedly determines one’s nationality, as well as the nature of that nationality, whether born of Americans or born of aliens.
The problem with that view is that place-of-birth has no place of any kind in natural membership. As a consequence, they must assert falsely that all citizenship is government citizenship via an established tradition that was slavishly retained even after we over-threw the entire monarchy system and the principles by which it was legitimized. In doing that, they had to throw out the baby with the bath water by rejecting the principle of natural membership as applicable in the United States.
