AMERICA....OUR STOLEN COUNTRY-Part I
Chapter I
"No person, except a natural-born citizen of the United States at the time of the
adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President." Article II,Section I-US Constitution
Approximately 233 years ago our Revolutionary War began. When it ended, the United States of America was born, liberty proclaimed and laws enacted under the new Constitution. At that time, John Jay wisely convinced George Washington to include in the Constitution the Article II, Section 1 provision limiting the Presidency and Vice-Presidency to natural-born American citizens, so that no one with a dual-nationality or other foreign allegiance (British, for example) could adversely affect the governance of our Country, a provision casually ignored by many in today's political arena who treat Article II,Section I (as well as other parts of our Constitution) as "throwaway" pieces of legislation if they conflict with one's ambition.
