“The 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, ratified in 1868, granted citizenship to all persons born or naturalized in the United States—including formerly enslaved people—and guaranteed all citizens “equal protection of the laws.” One of three amendments passed during the Reconstruction era to abolish slavery and establish civil and legal rights for Black Americans, it became the basis for many landmark Supreme Court decisions over the years.”
Although there have been more than 11,000 proposed amendments to the Constitution since the adoption of the Bill of Rights in 1789, the Constitution has only been amended 27 times. The process of amending the Constitution is a very difficult, expensive, and time-consuming process by intent. Thomas Jefferson explained why;
“The government is supposed to be by and for the people. Therefore, the system is carefully set up and should not be changed unless there is a very serious, heavy reason to do so.”
Longstanding constitutional legal principles also dictate that for any amendment to be lawful, the amendment must meet the following conditions;
- The Amendment must be “in furtherance thereof” and not in any conflict with the original language or intent of the Constitution itself, to include the Bill of Rights added in 1789.
- The Amendment must be very narrow and specific in nature, so as to avoid future misuse for seditious purposes.
- It must pass a rigorous Congressional test before passing to the member States for ratification. (Which is why the Convention of States movement is misleading followers to the contrary.)
During the reconstruction period, the preceding 13th Amendment ratified in 1865 in the aftermath of the Civil War, abolished slavery in the United States. “The 13th Amendment states: Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.”
NOTE: It’s worth noting that Democrat President Andrew Johnson tried to keep slavery intact by vetoing the 13th Amendment. But his veto attempt was overridden by Congress and the 13th abolishing slavery was adopted.
However, the 13th Amendment did not specifically grant “legal citizenship” status to former slaves or involuntary servants, nor any Constitutional protections. Although slavery had been abolished in the United States, the amendment failed to provide “legal citizenship.”
As a result, the 14th Amendment soon followed (1868)
Republican John Bingham, the Father of the 14th Amendment, was one of the most influential but least known visionaries of the post-Civil War Constitution. Dubbed “the James Madison of the 14th Amendment” by Justice Hugo Black, Bingham drafted a constitutional provision that changed the course of American history by ensuring that states were duty-bound to uphold their citizen’s constitutional rights.
Generations of slaves were born in the USA, but never entitled to legal citizenship in the USA until Bingham’s 14th Amendment. Bingham’s personal writings confirm that there were only two purposes to his 14th Amendment;
- To mass “naturalize” all former slaves and involuntary servants, granting them and their family’s legal citizenship in the USA;
- To force all member states to uphold their “citizen’s” constitutionally protected Rights as legal citizens of the USA;
But since then, the 14th Amendment has been abused by politicians and their political appointees like a non-specific catch-all amendment used to grant “anchor baby” (born in and subject to the jurisdiction thereof) citizenship to foreign illegal migrants, gay marriage rights and a hundred other evil extreme left agenda items now undermining the Charters of Freedom themselves and violating the Rights of all legal American citizens.
No other amendment has been so abused by politicians and their political appointees. Now they want to use the 14th to infringe upon the 2nd Amendment Rights to keep and bear arms.
In fact, the 14th has been the #1 tool of the anti-American global left, used to destroy all foundations and the sovereignty and security of the United States. Nowhere is this truer and more lethal than in their use of the 14th Amendment to eliminate the Natural Born Citizen clause in Article II of the U.S. Constitution regulating who can and cannot occupy the offices of President and Vice President. (The 12th Amendment of 1804 applies all conditions for President to the Vice President as well.)
No Such Thing in the 14th
Section 1 of the 14th states “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States;” (citizens; not Natural Born Citizens)
Americans had not read it, talked about it, or even thought about the Constitutional conditions for the Oval Office in decades. American schools had not taught anything about it in more than a hundred years. People assumed that people who took an oath to the Constitution would abide by it and uphold it. This was a fatal assumption…
There’s no mention of “Natural Born Citizen” or Article II requirements for office in the 14th Amendment, therefore, the amendment has nothing to do with the matter of Natural Born Citizen or the Article II requirements for high office.
The Natural Born Citizen requirement found in Article II became a front-burner issue in 2008 with the presidential candidacy of Barack Hussein Obama, an unknown figure with a totally blank resume’ and three different forged Certifications of Live Birth from Hawaii, who hands them out like candy in a kindergarten classroom. A man waltzed onto the political scene by Ted Kennedy at John Kerry’s nomination convention in 2004, with nothing more in his work history than scooping ice cream near the campus of Occidental College, while attending under the name Barry Soetoro, on a foreign student visa from Indonesia.
But the issue was immediately redirected towards John McCain, his Republican opponent and natural born son of two American citizens, one of which was a decorated Naval Commander deployed to Panama at the time, on the country’s military affairs.
Instead of challenging the nobody from nowhere, Obama, Soetoro, or whatever his real name is, people who hated John McCain targeted him instead. To be sure, John McCain was a horrible republican candidate for President, but we knew who and what he was. To this day, Americans still don’t know who Obama is…but we do know what he is now, a nation-wrecker inside the gates… Those who redirected attention to McCain are directly responsible for making Obama possible.
To end the conflict over McCain, the US Senate issued a resolution declaring John McCain a “Natural Born Citizen” of the United States, eligible for the office President. But no such effort or resolution was ever addressed by Congress or the Courts regarding Barack Hussein Obama, and the courts have refused to hear any case regarding true Natural Born Citizenship to this day.
Dare we imagine our country and world today, had the Natural Born Citizen requirement been properly enforced in 2008? When evil is allowed to exist, it will root, grow, and spread like wildfire. Before long, evil is all you can see…
Only Two Ways to Become a legal citizen of the United States
- Like ALL legal immigrants to the United States for 247 years, one can gain legal citizenship through S. Immigration and Naturalization laws and processes. The USA is almost entirely an immigrant nation. There are legal means to acquire legal U.S. citizenship in the USA and actually, the USA has the most accommodating immigration laws in the world. The 14th Amendment was titled “A Naturalization Amendment.” One can immigrate and naturalize to the USA.
- True Birthright Citizenship – Natural Born Citizenship. Simply stated, as a matter of Natural Law, a child has a natural inherent Right to legal citizenship in the country to which the birth father is a legal citizen at the time of the child’s birth. The place of birth has no bearing on the Laws of Nature or Rights that exist as a result of Natural Law. To put a fine point on the matter, if one is a legal citizen only as a result of legislative process and statute, they are a “citizen” but not a “Natural Born Citizen.”
As a result, there are only two types of legal U.S. citizens, Natural Born and Naturalized. Only one of the two are eligible to serve as President and Vice President.
Job #1 for every Court in America
The Article III Judicial Branch has only one duty first and foremost above all else, to protect, preserve and enforce the Constitution of these United States and provide equal application of law to all citizens of the United States, in protection of all Natural Rights of the People of the United States.
In this regard, Article III grants the Judicial Branch the power to “interpret the law” …Not to make law, but only to interpret and enforce the law. In 1787 at the adoption of the Constitution, the term “interpret” had a very narrow and specific meaning; “To explain the meaning or words to a person who does not understand them; to expound; to translate unintelligible words into intelligible ones; as, to interpret the Hebrew language to an Englishman.”
But the Article III branch is made up of partisan political appointees and as a result, the courts use British Common Law practices (precedent and procedure) to undermine the Constitution and Bill of Rights by issuing opinions later falsely labeled “case law.” In doing so, they have expanded their own power beyond interpreting and enforcing the law, to acting under the color of law from the bench for political gain.
In the case of Natural Born Citizen, political figures and their appointees have worked for years to undermine the term by making those three simple words appear to be ambiguous, therefore allowing the courts to make up their own definitions of the term. But there is nothing ambiguous about these three words…
NATURAL – a condition produced by and existing as a result of nature alone
BORN – the time of birth
CITIZEN – a legal member of society, from whom all political power is derived
In short, if one is a citizen by means of legislative processes or statutes, one is a naturalized citizen and therefore, not a Natural Born Citizen. There’s nothing ambiguous about these three words or the term created by putting them together.
Why is this so vital to the survival of the USA?
Since Barack Hussein Obama 2008, political elites have not only allowed millions of illegal invaders into our country, including from well-known enemy states like China and Iran, they have continued to run non-Natural Born Citizens for the offices of President and Vice President.
Right now, Nikki Haley is a republican candidate for President. She’s also a “naturalized (anchor baby) citizen, born to legal citizens of India and not a Natural Born Citizen, and she’s a graduate of Klaus Schwab’s Nazi World Economic Forum Young Global Leaders as well. Her natural birth father was not a legal citizen of the United States at the time of Nikki’s birth.
To be clear, the final step in the USA being taken over by foreign enemies is to seat foreign enemies of the USA in the People’s White House, Congress, the Courts, and State governments. The final step is to put another non-Natural Born Citizen of the United States back in our White House.
Because political and legal elites have convinced many Americans that a 14th Amendment citizen is also a Natural Born Citizen, including Sean Hannity’s “Great One” and many Tea Party self-proclaimed “constitutional experts,” and have expanded access to citizenship for everyone who stumbles into our country waving enemy flags…all in direct violation of our national Immigration and Naturalization Laws.
Because they have even developed “sanctuary cities and states” full of illegal inhabitants, we currently have no legal means to protect our White House from foreign invasion and occupation. The ONLY means we have to protect our White House is to enforce the Natural Born Citizen requirement in Article II of the U.S. Constitution.
No, the 14th did not alter or amend Article II Natural Born Citizen requirements for the highest office in our land. Politicians and their appointees on the bench and college campus attempted to do that, the “experts.”
In closing, had the American people understood and enforced the Natural Born Citizen requirement in 2008, our country would not be on the brink of collapse, and the world would not be entering WWIII today.
I repeat, there are only two types of legal U.S. citizens, Natural Born and Naturalized. Only one of the two are eligible to serve as President and Vice President.
There is no statute of limitation on treason and sedition. If the American People don’t stand together to enforce the Natural Born Citizen requirement today, and prosecute all who have violated it to date, no matter which political party, there is no way to save our Constitutional Republic from certain ruin.
We’re out of time… it’s now or never!
