Oct. 30, 2008 The Governor of Hawaii, Linda Lingle, has, very recently, made it completely impossible to get this interesting information since she made the decision to seal the record. [Obama’s slick cover story of needing to visit his beloved, sickly grandmother (whom he had previously once spoken of as a typical White racist) was, indeed, most convenient and nicely fortuitous.] However, this is no joking matter. The US Constitution, in Article 2, Section 1, explicitly specifies there that: “No Person except a natural born Citizen… shall be eligible to the Office of President …” There is a possible though purely fictional scenario that can be cited. This official, formal, and, in fact, clearly constitutional matter, a noted qualification factor, of the important need to have actual and verified citizenship is not a comical issue at all. It was meant to substantially and substantively curb or, if possible, totally eliminate foreign influences over or through the very existence of the person holding the highest political office in the land. If the highly serious allegations, made the necessary subject of court action as is now publicly well known, prove to be completely true, then he cannot ever become President; he would be, by definition, disqualified. The matter is legally, constitutionally speaking, that simple and not at all a mere or simple or minor partisan political figment of someone’s heated imagination. A similar political situation had occurred, in the mid to late 20th century, as is briefly and below discussed. Many decades ago, those who really hated Richard M. Nixon had tried mightily, and for many decades, to prove that he had been, somehow or other, born in Mexico and was, thus, absolutely ineligible to be the head of the US government; if ever proved, that would have been a bombshell eagerly used by his many enemies who, however, were never able to verify such an allegation to the legal satisfaction of any American court sufficient to force the issue into political contention; today, the proverbial shoe is on the other foot (and that is supposed to make all the difference). The same, though in a different manner, seems to be happening to Obama with the notable major difference, however, that the main person still pushing this intriguing question is a Democrat, a former Hillary Clinton supporter, not a member of the Republican Party. Of course, there are several law suits now in play all vigorously trying to get the requested (and possibly highly revealing) information. All the various details and associated ramifications, names, dates, etc. of these law suits can be very easily found elsewhere, including on the internet, for those truly interested. The set purpose of this limited discussion is just to explore certain consequences of the contention’s obvious and tremendous significance, if it cannot be truly verified, without any reasonable legal doubts, as to the assumed proper and requisite validity of Barack H. Obama’s being a natural-born citizen of the United States of America. Since the complete federalization of citizenship by the 14th Amendment (1868) with its Section 1, citizens were no longer under the prior jurisdictional consequences as civic persons pertaining to the several states as a part of state sovereignty. Thus, for instance, John Brown, the radical Abolitionist who had attacked the Federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry (1859), was tried in court, as almost all people would now be surprised to learn, for having committing treason against the State of Virginia, not against the United States of America. (The interesting constitutionality of the 13th,, 14th, and 15th Amendments is, however, a separate and important matter for some continuing historical/constitutional debate on a purely academic level having, thus, no real consequences.) Should Obama obtain the presidency fraudulently under highly questionable circumstances, meaning should he prove not to be a natural-born citizen as is fully constitutionally warranted and mandated for the holding of said office, then and only then the legal illegitimacy of his position would raise a horrible havoc with America’s political system now and, moreover, far forever into the future. An absolute and explicit violation of the Constitution will have occurred, according to what is being considered, that would not leave any road back because of the dangerous precedent-setting result and its many literally heinous consequences for domestic politics. Someone found to have actually obtained the Office of President illegitimately, meaning unconstitutionally, would end up dividing the nation against itself because millions of citizens would, logically and justifiably, deny that person’s legal and constitutional right to be the leader of the country. If he can so break the fundamental Law of the Land and simply get away with it, how can he expect, much less legally demand, respect or loyalty as to his obviously de jure inability to properly hold such a political office of such tremendous magnitude. There would, consequently, result a kind of genuine civil war in this country by which people would be forced to take sides not simply for or against Obama, but, much rather, for or against the Constitution itself. As was said in the very first paragraph, this is no joking matter. The Constitution, ultimately speaking, appropriately defines how, why, and what Americans are as a people, a nation, a political reality, in the contemporary world. Obama knows this; John McCain knows this. Many of their fellow Americans do realize the monumentally great significance involved if someone both deliberately and knowingly violates terribly the nation’s domestic charter of free government. Obama, not being an ignorant man surely, knew clearly that there would be these many questions concerning his citizenship long before October of this year, as logically pertaining to his possible disqualification. Such a rather blatant and evil violation, striking at the core of all sound republican government itself, cannot and would not go unanswered or ignored by millions of Americans, and even many foreign observers would be certainly shocked if such massively, high-level corruption would be simply tolerated and, thus, acquiesced to by the American people themselves. If it is discovered, meaning legally proven and verified, that he, in fact, is not a natural-born citizen, then if Obama is a man of honor cognizant of both decency and respect for the law and, above all, the very Constitution that he would be swearing to uphold, he ought to fully and completely foreswear and decline the position well prior to January 20, 2009. Of course, many readers of Machiavelli’s The Prince would easily scoff at the naïve and childish notion of a politician being thought of as capable of acting as a man of honor. Politician and man of honor considered, in such a context, as being two laughably contradictory terms ever notably incompatible with the hardened and ruthless pursuit of power on earth. However, those politically and publicly intent upon upholding righteously the integrity and force and right and honor of the United States Constitution would, necessarily, disagree completely and force the issue toward a legal and proper conclusion, regardless of Machiavellian intentions (or contentions) to the contrary conclusion. Thus, if Obama should prove to be a faithless villain of the worst sort, he will soon see that he has incredibly chosen to carelessly play with political dynamite of the most terrible sort that can, moreover, mandate a civil war in needed and splendid defense of the ultimate Law of the Land. Woe to him, woe to the nation that does not defend its great charter of American civil liberty and domestic freedom against someone who would act as a kind of tyrant-usurper intent upon a regime of deliberate and extensive corruption. The ugly and thorough contempt shown toward the Constitution and all that it has ever represented will have been boldly displayed, for all historical generations after such a disgusting event, whose magnitude can barely be adequately expressed in mere words alone. If Obama does not realistically expect, at the very least, a volcanic political fight for justice and law against the arbitrary rule of men, the definition of tyranny, he erroneously mistakes his vilely radical or leftwing ideology for all of reality. As was so cogently and succinctly expressed in the forever immortal words of Benjamin Franklin: “Where liberty dwells, there is my country.” On the other hand, the reader was told explicitly that the above is just a purely fictional scenario because almost all Americans simply don’t care, especially those who do control the power structure of the country. ------------ About the author: Joseph Andrew Settanni, CRM, CPC is a Certified Records Manager and Certified Professional Consultant with 30 years of professional experiencein data, archives, records and information management.
