25, 2008 An article by Jeff Schreiber states in part: "The action seeks an injunction preventing the senator from continuing his candidacy and a court order enjoining the DNC from nominating him next week, all on grounds that Sen. Obama is constitutionally ineligible to run for and hold the office of President of the United States." Pursuant to Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution for the United States, only a natural born citizen is eligible to be president. The suit claims Obama does not meet this constitutional standard because he was actually born in Kenya, Africa. In the alternative, even if Obama can show he meets the "natural born" standard, the suit claims Obama lost his citizenship in 1967 when he and his mother took up residency in Indonesia. This will be very interesting to watch because if the federal judge rules Mr. Berg has standing to bring the suit, and standing is a prerequisite for maintaining an action in federal court, the case will pit the Constitution and the rule of law against the world of public opinion. And if the case goes forward, the same democrats who claim the Constitution is sacred, and George W. Bush trashed the document during his 8 years in office, will turn on the Constitution like a pack of rabid dogs and call it an outdated racist document. I predict, even if the facts are correct, the judge will rule Mr. Berg lacks standing to bring the case and dismiss it. In the alternative, if my prediction is incorrect, the Constitution will be the loser in this case because there is no way, at this point in time, that an African American will be disqualified irrespective of whether he meets the constitutional standard to be the president of these United States.

Robert
Greenslade focuses his writing on issues surrounding the federal government
and the Constitution. He believes politicians at the federal level, through
ignorance or design, are systematically dismantling the Constitution in
an effort to expand their power and consolidate control over the American
people. He has dedicated himself to resurrecting the true intent of the
Constitution in the hope that the information will contribute, in some
small way, to restoring the system of limited government established by
the Constitution.
If you are interested in finding out more about the Constitution, take a look at this book. I use it in many of my articles and it is the best book I've found on this subject. Bob Reprint of the 1868 edition. ''Perhaps the ablest analysis of the nature and character of the federal government that has ever been published. It has remained unanswered.'' This review of Judge Story's Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States is perhaps the ablest analysis of the nature and character of the Federal Government that has ever been published. It has remained unanswered. Indeed, we are not aware that any attempt has been made to challenge the soundness of its reasoning. The great vise of Judge Story and the Federalists consisted in desiring the clothe the federal government with almost monarchical power, whereas the States had carefully and resolutely reserved the great mass of political power for themselves. The powers which they delegated to the federal government were few, and were general in their character. Those which they reserved embraced their original and inalienable sovereignty, which no state imagined it was surrendering when it adopted the constitution. Mr. Madison dwelt with great force upon the fact that ''a delegated is not a surrendered power.'' The states surrendered no powers to the federal government -- they only delegated them. 160 pages. |
