Article 2 Section 1 Clause 5 of the Constitution of the United States says:
“No Person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President;”
“The only definition of “natural born citizen” that matters is the one held by the Founding Fathers! To assume the Founding Fathers would have allowed a British citizen at birth to become Commander In Chief of the US armed forces is to disgrace the blood of the patriots who earned this nation’s Freedoms and Liberties by their very lives.” –Leo C. Donofrio

“We can all commiserate forever about how bad things have been, are, and will continue to be. But I don’t think that we can afford to wait for elections in order to have our say about putting a stop to this madness. Enough, already! Let’s start talking treason, prison, and death penalties for all malefactors in government who subvert, ignore, skirt and otherwise trash the Constitution of these United States of America. Those who have sworn to uphold the Constitution and have then ignored their oaths of office are guilty of perjury and malfeasance in office.” — Stephen A. Langford (Amherst College, 1963; personal 19 June 2009 communication to this author; by permission
