Founder and Historian David Ramsay Defines a Natural Born Citizen in 1789

Via Skynet

 
An essay written 2 Apr 2010 by Attorney Mario Apuzzo, counsel for the lawsuit of Kerchner v Obama & Congress. Founder and Historian David Ramsay Defined Natural Born Citizenship in 1789.

In defining an Article II “natural born Citizen,” it is important to find any authority from the Founding period who may inform us how the Founders and Framers themselves defined the clause. Who else but a highly respected historian from the Founding period itself would be highly persuasive in telling us how the Founders and Framers defined a “natural born Citizen. ” Such an important person is David Ramsay, who in 1789 wrote, A Dissertation on the Manners of Acquiring the Character and Privileges of a Citizen (1789), a very important and influential essay on defining a “natural born Citizen.”

David Ramsay (April 2, 1749 to May 8, 1815) was an American physician, patriot, and historian from South Carolina and a delegate from that state to the Continental Congress in 1782-1783 and 1785-1786. He was the Acting President of the United States in Congress Assembled. He was one of the American Revolution’s first major historians. A contemporary of Washington, Ramsay writes with the knowledge and insights one acquires only by being personally involved in the events of the Founding period.

  1. Obviously, Obama is not a Natural Born Citizen and is ineligible to be the President of the United States. This is a perfect example of what happens when we stray from the Constitution. Obama is a train-wreck. But what of Ted Cruz with a naturalized father?

  2. Those that voted for O'dumbo are guilty of being stupid. Those that failed to challenge his eligibility, who were in a position to do so, are guilty, and must be punished. Commie pukes are brilliant, hiding behind the skirt of race.

    No matter what one thinks of their politics, Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio are NOT constitutionally eligible. And the two major political party lawyers Katyal and Clement can spin and put out disinformation to lend support to constitutionally ineligible people in both major parties, but they cannot change the original intent, meaning, and understanding of who is a “natural born Citizen” which comes from Natural Law and not man-made laws or acts of Congress. A “natural born Citizen” is a person born in the country to parents who are both Citizens of the country when their child is born. Dual citizens at birth due to one or more of the parents not being a U.S. Citizen when their child is born are not natural born Citizens and thus are not constitutionally eligible to be President and CinC of our military. Both major political parties are out to dilute and abrogate the original intent, meaning, and understanding of the term “natural born Citizen” in Article II of our Constitution and why it was put there. Being simply ‘born a Citizen’ was proposed and not accepted. The founders and framers added the adjective “natural”. And that adjective comes from Natural Law. Adjectives mean something. Look up the meaning of the adjective “natural” when it comes to legal meaning in front of a noun. A “natural born Citizen” gains their citizenship from the Laws of Nature, not any man-made action of Congress. Natural born Citizens don’t need an act of Congress to point to be recognized as U.S. Citizens. See section 212 of this legal treatise on the Principles of Natural Law which was written in 1758 Vattel, the 1775 edition which was edited and published by Dumas and was much used by the founders and framers: http://lonang.com/library/reference/vattel-law-of-nations/vatt-119/ Read: http://www.art2superpac.com/issues.html and http://jimsjustsayin.blogspot.com/2015/03/ina-post-on-harvard-law-review-forum.html and http://puzo1.blogspot.com/2015/03/a-response-to-neil-katyal-and-paul.html CDR Kerchner (Ret) – ProtectOurLiberty.org

  4. The mother of Ted Cruz was born in Delaware. Cruz' father was born in Cuba and became a naturalized citizen in the US, He was sent to Canada to work by his company. This makes Ted a citizen of the US, but I'm not sure about a natural born citizen.

    1. Both parties are in cahoots on this subject, I believe.

  5. Cruz and Rubio absolutely do not qualify and there is no room for misinterpretation.
    Obama didn't either but the lie was stretched to fraud. Obama had a court order to court
    in Georgia for this very reason but was a no show. People did try but was blocked
    by the gangsters in DC and judges. Contempt of court.
