Definitions are easy, they are found in the dictionary. Yet, millions of Americans remain stuck in a quagmire of dissenting views and alleged expert opinions over the simple term natural born citizen, one of only a few strict constitutional requirements for the highest office in our land, President and Commander-in-Chief.
According to dictionaries dating as far back as Websters 1828 Edition, the term natural born citizen has a very simple and specific common meaning, and according to the framers of the US Constitution, a very important distinction.
Natural Pertaining to nature; produced or effected by nature, or by the laws of growth, formation or motion impressed on bodies or beings by divine power.
Born To be born, is to be produced or brought into life.
Citizen In the United States, a person, native or naturalized, who has the privilege of exercising the elective franchise, or the qualifications which enable him to vote for rulers, and to purchase and hold real estate.
Based upon the official definition of these words, we know immediately that the term natural born citizen is not based upon statute or any form of man-made law. It exists in nature, the result of natural law, by divine power, only able to be recognized or ignored by legislative process, but still inalienable via legal processes.
Many self-proclaimed experts insist that the US Constitution was written in some secret code, which can only be deciphered for the common folk, by legal scholars of the highest order. Yet on the basis of simple definitions, we know that if we are discussing any form of man-made law requiring the analysis of legal scholars, we are NOT discussing natural-born.
The term natural born citizen is of nature, not man-made law. The Constitution is written in plain and simple English, each word with a specific definition and meaning easily found in any English dictionary. Fortunately, not only legal scholars have access to dictionaries, making it possible for anyone who can read, to understand the Constitution, so long as they have a dictionary in hand.
After all, what good are unalienable rights that legal scholars are free to alienate via politically motivated interpretations?

More power to the tea party.
GOD HELP US... it seems everyone will do anything to keep obama in office till the end of time...could anyone tell me WHY... all of them are out to DESTROY OUR GREAT COUNTRY....1..where do you turn to get help, no where.
2. who can you trust, no one...3. what are we going to do, nothing, just sit on our butts and let them go on and on.
remember you are talking about demons that inhabit the house and for the most part the senate. The only way to get rid of a demon is to remove it's head, but we can't do that because that's not legal and we are more civilized than that. What we need to do is to have a good old fashioned recall election on these demon-cats.
And that goes big time for the worst of them all harry reid. I my opinion this is a person that does need to be removed from office. This is going to sound mean but I hope he has a stroke.
We have a clearly defined Constitution which says exactly the definition of the word Natural Born Citizen! Any one who wants to monkey with it, they, need to be ran from office, ran out of the country and never allowed back in the country because they have committed treason!
This is not rocket science.
With a complicit propaganda machine, financed by Corporate Socialists (who are also Internationalists, i.e., they are "trans-nationalists" with allegiances to foreign interests [or the highest bidder] posing as the "Free Press," also known as the "Fourth Estate,") and extending that pretense to include the pretended defense of the Constitution, you have the pretended inclusion, by design, of everyone of any political inclination into THEIR Left-Right spectrum.
This is WHY the "fairness" doctrine is so important to them and WHY they use any and every event, crisis, situation to attempt to shut down any opposition that does not conform to their Socialist Left-Right spectrum.
To see this you must understand the marxist "dialectic," which has everything to do with taking over the mechanisms and the dynamics in any social sphere, and then proceed to define the parameters, the boundaries, so that anyone thereafter can only think WITHIN those parameters. They call their "logic" Critical thinking, which is why Socialists make no sense and seem to have "upside-down" thinking.
Here is a thought: How about We The People, who are Constitutionalists, hereafter reinstate the proper definitions. How about we create a Constitutional Media whose purpose is the Defense of the Constitution and the Republic for which it stands. And how about we turn the tables on the Socialists and MARGINALIZE them, expose them for the traitors that they are, and reinstate our Constitution.
Oh wait. That's the Tea Party, isn't it? Well, then, how about exposing anyone within that Tea Party who tries to co-opt it into the Left-Right spectrum. The Tea Party Caucus informal sponsorship of the reading of the Constitution is a start. Now how about rating every action every member of Congress takes in accordance with the Constitution, and THEN following up any deviance, any usurpation of the Constitution with a severe penalty or at the very least exposure and censure.
Does that answer the question?
I would like to know why the right is doing a lot of things....I guess they forgot about the Nov. election.
The answer is they want and need the Hispanic vote.
I do not see the difference between the so-called right and left as it applies to either BHO or Beck.
Zbig managed both the BHO and McCain campaigns from the get-go in the matter of a shift of the BUsh 3 policy towards Afghanistan polcy of engagement. In that Zbig used BHO from 1979 onward he needed a empty vessel to move his policy forward and that MCCain and BHO fit the bill.
