Senator Jacob Howard Author of the 14th Amendment

Statement on Foreign Born

The very author of the citizenship clause, Sen. Jacob Howard of Michigan, expressly said: "This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers."

Intent of the Presidential Executive Order

There is an inordinate “thick-headedness” out there in La La Land about the proposed Executive Order [EO]. Of course the President cannot amend the Constitution with an EO. An EO only has the effect of law until overruled by a Court of Competent Jurisdiction or by legislation. In my opinion, only one such court has that, being equal to the Office of President, according to the Constitution—the Supreme Court of the United States [SCOTUS]. I do not believe ANY lower court has that authority—that is another misinterpretation of the meaning and intent of the Framers, dinked with over time by spurious case law. 
That is not the intent of the EO, a fact lost on lame duck Paul Ryan and FOX Moderator Martha McCallum, bless their l’il pea pickin’ hearts. The President has no need to amend because the language in the 14th Amendment, being argued, is being interpreted by the WH as providing the authority to nullify the Anchor Baby issue altogether. The bottom line of the EO is to kick it up to the Supreme Court of the United States by any means available. The EO is one such means.
The 14th Amendment is a “Johnny Come Lately” Amendment, ratified after the Civil War to address descendants of slaves and American Indians, as it turned out, not the illegal entry of foreign citizens. In other words, it was poorly crafted and it was not crafted by the original Framers.
The issue being argued right now is some very vague language, five words in fact: “any person within its jurisdiction”. This language is speaking to the individual States. This obscure language has been debated practically since the Amendment was Ratified. SCOTUS has never had a case in which they had to determine the meaning and intent of those 5 words. No matter whether this issue is kicked to SCOTUS by EO or legislation is academic—it can only be finally decided in the Supreme Court. The intent of the President is to issue the EO and begin the legal process for what needs to be done in any event. 
I simply do not understand why people are struggling with this. I would add too that I believe this to be a two pronged issue. There is nothing in the 14th Amendment that nullifies the supreme authority given to the President in Article II of the Constitution. As I stated, the 14th Amendment was written with respect to the individual states, most primarily aimed at the “slave states”. All things considered, the 14th Amendment is no longer pertinent but it is there so it has to be dealt with by SCOTUS, one way or the other.

Chelsea is WHAT???

I want my FB Friends to go get a glass of water. You may want to go to the medicine cabinet and retrieve an amyl nitrate and a baby aspirin. If you have access to O2, pull the cart over. Chelsea Clinton actually said she was prettier and better educated than Ivanka Trump. If you know ANYTHING about Ivanka’s Curricula Vitae and the schools she attended, you will know that Ivanka’s education is far superior. We won’t even get into the fact that Chelsea’s looks are a dead ringer for Webb Hubbell, a Chip off the Ole Block. I will not even post a pic of Chelsea, fearing my hard drive would crash.

What's a Ute?

OMG! So, Pocahantas took a DNA Test. I'm pretty sure too that she subscribes to the basic tenet, never ask a question for which you do not already know the answer. I am pretty sure that after this DNA Test is seasoned properly, we will learn that she is one half Chiricahua and the other half Ute. That princess ain't got a drop of Anglo-Saxon blood. I can tell by looking at her, with those high cheek bones and her forked tongue. BTW--what's a Ute?

Democrats Fighting for You LOL

Fighting for You
Another stratagem I have noticed lately coming from the Socialist Party is the incessant “fighting”. To a person, they are either fighting for this or fighting against that. Apparently, we are in for a mess of fighting. I was a Democrat from 1970 until September 26, 2018, and I have to say I have not seen one good fight yet. Hopefully, they have been practicing because it has been a non-starter yet. They have just released a new campaign Ad, depicting just a taste of their new direction…

DNA Hints

DNA Hint #1: 10 generations ago, neither Pocahontas nor her forbears had traversed the Big Pond. My direct branch got here in 1718, my 5th G-Grandfather. His cousins got here in 1610, 4 generations previous to that. If she has American Indian Blood, it is clear that her forbears picked it up in the Old Country, not an impossible feat. It is also possible that her 10th G-Grandparents were dropped off at Martha’s Vineyard by Coronado for a little R&R for all the hard work they had done growing tobacco in the islands.
DNA Hint #2: Somebody’s lyin” :-)
Once again, it’s just a simple case of basic math, as are Autosomnal DNA calculations.

Supreme Court of the United States

If one is ever lucky and privileged enough to visit the hallowed chamber of the United States Supreme Court, it will affect you for all your days. Nothing compares but possibly the Oval Office. The power in both exude a palpable feeling that is impossible to articulate. If one is ever given the opportunity to witness arguments before the nine justices, it will render her/ him intimidated, knowing even the best and brightest are are rendered reverent, unequaled before man. If we do not already know your name, you are not one of those best and brightest. In designing the Supreme Court Building, architect Cass Gilbert utilized a classically inspired entrance procession to the Courtroom. The bronze doors, centered behind the massive columns of the front portico, signify the importance of the proceedings that occur within the Courtroom. The over-sized doors measure 17 feet high and 9 ½ feet wide, and weigh approximately 13 tons. Now that you know that, do you feel as silly as you look, scratching on those doors like sewer tats? If you were actually able to breach that entrance, you would know just how insignificant you really are. JS

The Black Patriarchs

First Blacks Elected to Congress

During Reconstruction, only the state legislature of Mississippi elected any black senators. On February 25, 1870, Hiram Rhodes Revels was seated as the first black member of the Senate, while Blanche Bruce, also of Mississippi, seated in 1875, was the second. Revels was the first black member of the Congress overall.

Revels, seeing himself as a representative of African American interests throughout the nation, spoke—unsuccessfully as it turned out—against a provision included in legislation readmitting Georgia to the Union. He correctly predicted that the provision would be used to prohibit blacks from holding office in that state.

Representative Joseph Rainey of South Carolina, also took the oath of office in 1870. These first two Members were among the 22 African American Members (2 in the Senate, 20 in the House) that began their service in the period of time after the Civil War but prior to the start of the 20th Century. After these first 22, the presence of African Americans in the Membership of Congress was not continuous and there were subsequent periods in both chambers with no African American Members.

These 22 can be considered the Patriarchs of the African-American community. Ever hear of anything they contributed?

The Plantation Party

In the last few days, folks on CNN and MSNBC have called Kanye:

1) dumb

2) mentally ill

3) a house negro

4) a token

5) a minstrel

6) a white supremacist.

I would have thought that they would have learned something or two by now of their sketchy past, as the Party of Slavery and the KKK. It is apparent they have learned nothing.

That is why I mailed my new application to switch parties on September 26, 2018, the day before the final hearing of the Senate Judiciary Committee. I am now a Republican for the first time since registering initially as a Democrat in 1970.

Promise the Moon

Promise the Moon

I have picked up on a stratagem of the Socialist Party—promise the moon, knowing it is impossible

Take the tax returns for instance. Nowhere in the Constitution, the Statutes or elsewhere that any candidate for any office is required to produce tax returns. She would have no more authority as Speaker as now to compel the President to produce his tax returns.

How about abolishing the Electoral College. It is in the Constitution. The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as Part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress; Provided that no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year One thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any Manner affect the first and fourth Clauses in the Ninth Section of the first Article; and that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate.

In the House, 2/3 is 291 votes required. There are presently 193 Democrats in the House. In the Senate, 2/3 is 67 votes required. In the Senate, there are 49 Democrats. Keep in mind too that only 33 Senate seats are up for election on November 6. Three fourths of the State Legislatures are in total, 38 States.

By far, the best you could do is get 15 States to ratify but that is a stretch. You are going to ask low population states like Delaware, New Mexico, Colorado, Nevada, etc. to give up their equal representation in the Constitution. Dream on!

These are just two examples of what they promise to do that would require amending the Constitution, KNOWING it is impossible. BTW—there is NO healthcare or insurance matter allowed for in Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution. These are the only strictly federal powers provided for in the Constitution, “all else is left to the States and to the People. The US Supreme Court is now a 5-4 strict Constitutionalist Court, soon to be 6-3. Good luck with that moon.

Article 1, Section 2, Clause 5

The House of Representatives shall choose their Speaker and other Officers; and shall have the sole Power of Impeachment.

Article 2, Section 4

Impeachment is another of their promises. The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors. The Constitution also allows for involuntary removal from office.

Article 1, Section 3, Clauses 6 and 7

The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried the Chief Justice shall preside; And no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two thirds of the Members present.

Judgement in Cases of Impreachment shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States: but the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgement and Punishment, according to Law.

The House may refer Impeachment proceedings to Senate, which requires a 2/3 vote to Impeach. Again, it’s a simple numbers game. Sixty seven votes in the Senate are not even on the horizon.

So, why do it? It is purely emotional, an act of desperation. Nancy is looking at some of the same internal candidate tracking polls as I am. It is her last ditch effort to get attention, pretend like she is doing something for her minions, promising the moon, knowing it is impossible. But, Nancy is just a symptom of the problem. The problem is her flock of sheep.
