ONE LINER 0017 - BIRTHER 'Trump' Movement

In 2008, when Barak Housed Obama was about to become the 44th President of the United States of America, the BIRTHER Movement was born.  It was led, for at least 5 years, by Donald J Trump who is about to become the 45th Presidents of the same United States of America.

The most outrageous thing associated with the Birther Movement, was not the fact that they were trying to delegitimize the President Obama, claiming that he wasn’t worn in the States.

The most outrageous thing was, and quite ingenious, was that instead of dismissing such a charge as completely stupid as irrelevant (I will explain why in a moment), all Democrats and anybody supporting the President, assumed the defensive position, trying to prove that Obama WAS born in the States.

The bully (and I mean Donald J Trump) managed to stupefy all Americans, and cry denying the charge!

Time has past…  In 2016 Primaries to the Republican Nomination to the Presidential race, there happened to be Senator Ted Cruz.  I do not want to talk about his lack of virtues, and the IQ making the monkeys look like ‘brainiacs’. 

What I am writing here and now is that, like President Obama he was born in a family consisting of an American mother, and foreign-national father.  And this is where the similarities end.

Senator Cruz was born in Canada, not in the States.  And as far as this argument is concerned, Canada is the same as Kenia, or any other country - it ain’t the USA.

And yet, Cruz, being born outside of the country, from a singe American parent, was eligible to run for the Presidency of the USA.

It was, all legal, and agreed by both sides of the isle. 

Article II, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution imposes only three eligibility requirements on persons serving as president – based on the officeholder’s age, time of residency in the U.S., and citizenship status. Under the Twelfth Amendment, the same three qualifications apply to the Vice President of the United States: 

* Only "natural-born" U.S. citizens (or those born abroad, but only to parents at least one of whom was a U.S. citizen at the time) may serve president of the United States.

How is it possible that Trump could have manipulated the discussion on the presidential requirements the way he did.  How is it possible, that NO-ONE ever rose asking the questions I ask, and dismissing the absurd and completely immaterial, and completely irrelevant accusation.

I am ashamed for all Americans, who, instead of reading the Constitution, engaged in a straggle on the Trump’s terms.

Shame…
