Obama’s ineligibility: Prepare to defend America – Time to take over the government

Another great column by Larry Sellin. Larry refers to a legal case named Minor v. Happersett. According to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, the case is described as follows:

Minor v. Happersett, 88 U.S. 162 (1875), was a United States Supreme Court case appealed from the Supreme Court of Missouri concerning the Missouri law which ordained "Every male citizen of the United States shall be entitled to vote."

Virginia Minor, a leader of the women's suffrage movement in Missouri, alleged that the refusal of Reese Happersett, a Missouri state registrar, to allow her to register to vote was an infringement of her civil rights under the Fourteenth Amendment.

Decision

The Supreme Court of Missouri upheld the Missouri voting legislation saying that the limitation of suffrage to male citizens was not an infringement of Minor's rights under the Fourteenth Amendment.

The United States Supreme Court affirmed and upheld the lower court's ruling on the basis that the Fourteenth Amendment does not add to the privileges or immunities of a citizen, and that historically "citizen" and "eligible voter" have not been synonymous. Since the United States Constitution did not provide suffrage for women, the Fourteenth Amendment did not confer that right. The court's decision had nothing to do with whether women were considered persons under the Fourteenth Amendment; the court ruled that they were clearly persons and citizens. It rested solely on the lack of provisions within the Constitution for women's suffrage.

Incidental to their examination of the qualifications of persons to be considered citizens of the United States, the Court confirmed that an Article II "natural-born citizen" includes a person born to parents who are citizens of the United States. "At common-law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives, or natural-born citizens ...and that the children of citizens of the United States that might be born beyond the sea, or out of the limits of the United States, should be considered as natural-born citizens."

Subsequent History

Minor has not been explicitly overruled by another U.S. Supreme Court decision. In fact, Minor is still cited for the proposition that the Constitution does not confer the right to vote. However, as the decision relates to women's suffrage in particular, it is no longer applicable because of the Nineteenth Amendment.

Nineteenth Amendment – Provided female citizens of the United States the right to vote.

"The worst characteristic in any leader is hubris, which is best described as a combination of arrogance and stupidity. Sadly, our current leaders in Washington, D.C. have an abundance of it.
...
Barack Hussein Obama is, according to the Constitution and the binding precedent of Minor and Happersett, an illegal President.

He committed a felony by presenting a forged Certificate of Live Birth as proof of his birth place.

He committed identity theft by using a Social Security Number, which was not issued to him as now verified by the Social Security Administration.

He committed a felony by forging a Selective Service registration.

Most damaging of all, Obama is clearly not serving the interests of the United States. He is dismantling our Constitution, eradicating our liberties and promoting policies for national suicide."
