Nice work CDR Charles Kerchner (Ret)!
"100% Proof Rick Santorum was Born a Dual-Citizen (Italy and USA) and thus Not a Natural Born Citizen of the United States, i.e., a person born with unity of citizenship and sole allegiance to the USA at birth. Rick’s father who was an immigrant from Italy took the oath of allegiance to the USA and formally perfected his naturalized U.S. Citizenship and renounced his Italian Citizenship in 1961 which was 3 yrs after Rick was born in 1958. FOIA Response re Aldo Santorum, father of Rick Santorum"

You know I wish a campaign contributor to him would take him to Court for fraud. Imagine all the dollars, 24 million in Sen Santorum's case that was WASTED on an ineligible candidate. If he wasn't qualified for the office he was running for the solicitation for dollars should be considered an action of fraud in misrepresenting a qualification. We prosecute pretenders of professions all the time.
f you don't think "discrimination"- or adhering to the qualifications, is good when it comes to the office of the President, why not let all the Dictators in the world, have children with American women, and finance their way to the Presidency as an off-shoot of tyranny?
What I don't think you understand was that the 'grace' of the Constitution allowed the example I just gave to actually do that the very next generation.
The consideration was only for the Pres and VP, that much we agree. Hey, Congress was a pretty big olive branch and Sen. Rubio has done great and is an honor to his country. His children could be President if they're born in the U.S.
We both know "Citizens" before the Constitution was adopted was the grandfather clause of not being a'natural born citizen', so why has it failed to change through over 200 years of attempts through the Legislature? That's were it should be changed, not through the Judicial Branch.
If you had read the transcripts to hearings held in Committee's of Congress assigned to this matter, you would see and read that two generations in America brings something more to the character and loyalty of a family, and rushing it to include only 1 generation as you advocate leaves an open door for an anchor baby to be born, and taken to another country and raised, and implanted/financed into the Presidency, just as Barack Obama was.
The question is does a tradition of 2 generations make a difference?
It places distance of a whole generation of leaders, not just our leaders, beyond the reach of influencing, controlling,or manipulating the Presidency.
All the leaders would have died by the time the 2nd generation natural born citizen comes along and "nature" as well as "nurture" has done its best.
Obama bowed to the Saudi Prince very low. Obama used America's military to place into power the Muslim Brotherhood and Sharia Law.
The evidence you suggest is needed will without a doubt dawn upon you way to late, and with no available recourse, because the office of the Presidency is a commander-in-chief.
There is already little doubt thousands would still be alive in Egypt and Libya if our Military sequestered by Obama without Congressional approval had not been used at all.
Instead our military was used to implant a theocracy. Such a move would have never been undertaken by a natural born citizen.
What 'vital' U.S. interest was in Libya and Egypt? No, Obama has proven himself not a natural born citizen defending, preserving, and protecting, the U.S. Constitution not only with his identity but with his actions.
And we wait for further proof. Well perhaps his words caught unawares with Putin would be a matter for you to research, something along the lines of, " I will have more latitude to implement after my second term"
Obama himself acknowledges he's only got one more election and in his mind leveling the playing field is a truth he holds self evident that all men are created equal, and so we should level the playing field with every enemy of the the United States. That is a recipe for much more blood shed.
And to think just adhering to our Constitution might have saved so many lives? Indeed, it was wise and sound wisdom that a check be given to the office of President and Vice President, which created the necessity for the grandfather clause for our Founders that expired long before Obama was born.
The action of Sen. Santorum should be considered a violation of oath and he should be removed of any Senatorial remunerations from his previous held office by his colleagues for the disability and shame he has represented to the American People in actively disgracing our Constitution as well as the Republican Party, with the attempted usurpation.
The legislative mandate for 'natural born citizen' has never been over-turned. Mr. Santorum knows this but represented himself as qualified under the Constitution to serve as President if elected.
Rick Santorum a Senator, an attorney,a disgrace knowingly violating the statutes of qualifications for the office of the President held within the Constitution he has sworn to uphold and thus bringing shame to all of America just like Obama.
The Declaration of Candidacy for the Office of the Presidency is a Sworn Statement under oath, which is an official proceeding in the Government State's elections offices.
I'm not a lawyer but it seems an attorney general could use something along the lines in the penal code to improve the conduct of these fake politicians hurting America and disgracing our Constitution.
We all know what is going on is not right. How to prosecute it has become the problem for the people; as politicians submitting false information by sworn affidavits are skating free and collecting contributions under these false qualifications.
These might not apply, but they do make for some interesting considerations.
If the vote of a registered legal voter is made invalid by the deception of the candidate, in affect the vote is made ineligible for the voter for that voter is restricted/coerced from casting a ballot for a qualified candidate, to which the following applies based on 'false information' given by the candidate directly assigned to the qualification of the office for the purpose of voting:
42 U.S.C. §1973gg-10(2) prohibits furnishing any significantly false information to an election officer for the purpose of voting in a federal election. Whether a statement is significantly false is determined by whether its importance to voter eligibility under the law of the state in which the vote was tendered. This is
a new statute that was added by the National Voter Registration Act of 1993, and it took effect in most states on January 1, 1995
