Barack Obama has been forced to face several questions surrounding his exact origin of birth since his inauguration as US President, which either reflects a genuine concern or a unwelcome prejudice that lies beneath the surface of the social fabric. As Arizona governor Jan Brewer this week vetoed a bill that would have required presidential candidates prove their eligibility for office, America took a positive step towards challenging the concept of eligibility and also towards focusing their issues on the key issues that currently bight the US. Although other states are moving forward with similar bills with a view to enforcing them, they are less likely to succeed in the wake of Jan Brewer’s decision and the inevitable protests against racial prejudice, repression and a specific interpretation of eligibility. Given the Arizona states reputation for backing more radical legislation concerning immigration, their stance came as something as a surprise to those who dispute the merits of the the so called ‘Birther’ bill, and raised relevant questions concerning both the existing law and exactly which qualities are important when running a country. The Right to Set Presidential Qualification Requirements Of course the US constitution does afford states the right to determine how its representatives are elected, while also allowing them to ensure that their candidate meets existing constitutional qualifications. What it forbids is any state attempting to impose new legislation that forces qualified candidates to refrain from standing for election, as this addition of criteria is unconstitutional and opposes the democratic foundation of the US. What has further confused recent issues is that the relevant article in the US constitution is open to interpretation in terms of being a natural citizen of the United States. The so called ‘Birther movement’ has been cited by potential presidential candidate Donald Trump, who has questioned current leader Barack Obama’s place of birth and eligibility as US president. It leans of existing law and legislation that rules that the nations president must be a natural born citizen of the United States, and has utilized this to draw attention to Mr. Obama’s place of birth and his core nationality. The primary foundation of this argument also formed part of Arizona’s proposed bill, which would require the presidential hopeful to produce a birth certificate with the included signatures of relevant physicians and witnesses, which is not featured on the one presented or owned by Barack Obama. There are two main points to draw from this. The first lies in the interpretation of article 2 of the constitution, which makes reference to the president being a natural born citizen of the US. This is in itself open to conjecture, and has never been clarified by the Supreme Court. While those who follow the ideals of the Birther movement choose to interpret it as meaning that any candidate must be born within the boundaries of the US to US citizens and hold a specifically detailed birth certificate, a more reasonable and liberal interpretation is that any citizen who is born to a US subject or parent should eligible to run for presidential rule regardless of their place of birth. An Underlying Suggestion of Racism The second and far more troubling point concerns the motivation for the proposed bills, and in particular their reference to Barack Obama. While it is true that the suggestion of Donald Trump may have been adopted by those who simply oppose the current presidents rule and policies, it is hard to imagine that it would have come into the public domain were it not for Mr Obama’s race and creed. While there is a clear distinction between race and nationality, these lines have historically been blurred when it comes to oppression or acts of hostility towards ethnic demographics. The UK is an interesting case in point, as the 1970’s saw the emergence of the British National Party who opposed the migration of Asian and Afro-Caribbean families into the country. Despite this, their acts of violence often victimised British born citizens, which proved that their motivation was based on the issue of color of skin rather nationality. While it is fair to say that those who oppose the current president based on race are a distinct minority, the Birther movement is something that both attracts the interest of those with racial prejudice while also setting a dangerous precedent for freedom and equality amongst citizens. Beyond this, there is the feeling that the discussion prompted by the debate has been little more than irrelevant distraction from genuine issues in the US. Not only is this debilitating to the hopes of the nation to move forward, but it also raises questions as to what exactly is important in terms of being eligible to run a nation of the history and size of the United States. Surely an individual who has lived and committed themselves within the boundaries of the US (while seeking education and work to further their political ambitions,) retains the right to aim to be a presidential candidate regardless of their respective birth place or natural citizenship. Amending the Constitution It should be noted that the constitution of the US has formed a wise and sensible bedrock throughout recent history, but there are undoubtedly clauses which are both outdated and irrelevant in the modern age. Just as its text denied political and voting rights to women, so too there are other areas which seem to suggest a generation bias towards specific social demographics, and these reflect the time in which these clauses were set and imposed. Times change as do attitudes, and this pace of change can render existing laws or legislation both redundant and potentially divisive, and so there remains an argument to review the nations constitution for the better of society. By doing this, the ‘natural born citizen’ clause could be clarified and confirmed as required, and set a desired precedent for future instances of citizenship.

I am really enjoying the theme/design of your site. Do you ever run into any web browser compatibility issues? A few of my blog readers have complained about my site not working correctly in Explorer but looks great in Opera. Do you have any ideas to help fix this problem?
I genuinely prize your piece of work, Great post.
This is the best way I’ve ever heard. Click here for the breakdown:

I came in late when this aired on televisionblowing bubbles so I touched base with the website to see what I had missedthis is an incredible program, thank you for the information and explanation. WELL DONE give us more!!!
She looks beautiful here.Gotta say the designer everything ensembles bug me though. I get that designers make nice things, but the lack of originalty is boring. They all wear the same things, have the same hairstyles
Intriguing fact. Your article is so helpful. This is the most plausible, comprehensive and agreeable post.
Hello this is kinda of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding skills so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Please, for those who have insiders. Did Etoo drop reach his room before trouble started or he still on his way?
NewcastlelesI can support you on Jimmy Scoular being the original hardman. Dad used to say he was a hard bastard. If anybody kicked the flair players of Mitchell and the like Scoular and Harvey would sort it out
Hmm it appears like your website ate my first comment (it was super long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I wrote and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I as well am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m still new to everything. Do you have any recommendations for inexperienced blog writers? I’d genuinely appreciate it.
I am happy that I observed this web blog , exactly the right info that I was searching for! .
I’m not really sure why belief in basketball IQ requires you to believe in the hot hand, though. My understanding of the hot hand (and I could be wrong) is that sometimes players inexplicably are capable of playing beyond their true skill level for some amount of time. And when I say “skill level”, I mean their physical and mental skills (the ability to read defenses and understand where to be on the court in relation to where your teammates are is certainly a skill).
Have you ever thought about writing an ebook or guest authoring on other websites? I have a blog based on the same topics you discuss and would really like to have you share some stories/information. I know my audience would enjoy your work. If you’re even remotely interested, feel free to shoot me an e mail.
I am proud to say I joined the Patriot Guard to pay Honor and Respect to those that fought and fight now for ALL of us and OUR Freedoms. To pay respect for my dad and brother and my husband who served this Great Country, I stand beside our Veterans with PRIDE and Humility for not doing more myself. It hurts deeply to see that our President and most Joe Citizens do not do more of the same for those that Gave ALL. I must say it felt good to see the citizens turn out to show support as the ROLLING THUNDER came riding into town. However,I was saddened at the lack of turn out from the public at the recent LZ Lambeau event. Shame on those that could not take a minute of their time to stand on the curb to wave a flag of support for the Fallen and MIA soldiers from the Viet Nam era, as each rider representing them, came into town. Each town along the route of these bikers should have been out to pay respect to them as they passed through flags should have been placed along the roads in honor, for those that never came home. I saw little of this, and my heart broke finding this opportunity was wasted. So much could have been healed by just doing that much. Wake up people take a minute Shake a Hand and Thank a soldier. For our President to not wear a flag pin on his lapel, or to have his hand over his heart while saying the pledge, and to leave town and not set a Wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers speaks volumes and is a disgrace to every Citizen and Soldier that fought every war for this Nation. Being to young to remember Viet Nam is no excuse Isnt it the YOUNG Soldier that volunteers? God Bless Our Soldiers and their Families my family, Salutes YOU!

There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off topic but I had to tell someone!

Your blog really makes sense. I was searching on Google and i have seen your blog there. I got the information I need out of your blog.
The subsequent time I learn a blog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as a lot as this one. I mean, I know it was my choice to learn, but I truly thought youd have something fascinating to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about one thing that you would repair in the event you werent too busy looking for attention.
Yea, I like Perezs site but wish he wasnt all over it
Just seen the film for the first time and Im still mulling over the differences between the book and film in my mind. I liked the end result very much but wonder why some of the changes to the book were made. To take one particular example that sticks in my mind, why did they make Ramandus daughter a star when the book only describes her as a retired stars daughter?
My gosh, Melanie, sob, That is some story about Dan missing that flight. Thank Dog. No, Dan shouldnt read that book. It is haunting enough even if you have no connection to the events that happened.
Good ones, Rio.
Really, I hate that word values. Its been hijacked by the political right wing and nutjob Christians to mean Christian beliefs, which isnt the case (of course).

At any rate, what do you mean by it would be a real marriage? Anything that is legally allowed as marriage is by definition a real marriage. You can go throught the ceremony of a marriage, but if you havent divorced your previous spouse then the second marriage isnt legally recognised. It isnt a real marriage. In the same way, if a black man married a white woman in Virginia 50 years ago, their marriage wouldnt be recognised by the state. It wouldnt be a real marriage. To quote old Virginian law:“All marriages between a white person and a colored person shall be absolutely void without any decree of divorce or other legal process.â€
Premise (2) might seem more disputable, but it will probably come as a surprise to most laypeople to learn that (2) is widely accepted among philosophers. For any argument against objective morals will tend to be based on premises that are less evident than the reality of moral values themselves, as apprehended in our moral experience. Most philosophers therefore do recognize objective moral distinctions.

Throughout the grand pattern of things you get an A+ with regard to effort. Where exactly you misplaced us was on your facts. You know, people say, details make or break the argument.. And it could not be much more accurate at this point. Having said that, let me reveal to you exactly what did give good results. Your writing is definitely pretty powerful and this is possibly why I am making the effort to comment. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that. Secondly, whilst I can notice a leaps in reasoning you come up with, I am definitely not convinced of just how you appear to connect the points which inturn make your final result. For now I will yield to your point but hope in the near future you actually link the facts better.

The American Progressives of the 1930s adored the fascism of the Nazis. And Mussolini was their hero. An icon of the new, modern man his motto was everything within the state nothing outside the state. Woodrow Wilson was the first American President who espoused openly fascistic views. Obama walks in Wilsons Progressive foot stepsand he has plenty of company on the Democrat left.
