Here is a dictionary search that I originally did for my own edification, having been inspired by Rob Natelson's book, “The Original Constitution – What it Actually Said and Meant,” and thought that it might also help Obama “Obirthers” and we original birther “birthers,” aka, in 2014 America, we who accept the honorable word “birthers” and as birthers we are trying to protect and defend the original intent of the Founders, Framers and Ratifiers who were the original birthers of 1787 America.

This is only a quick look at a few common nationality related words as understood today in 2014 America using the easily accessible American Heritage Dictionary. And since the 1787 original intent meanings of the words have not changed since the U.S. Constitution, specifically Article II Section 1 Clause 5, was debated, adopted, ratified and implemented by the original birthers, the original intent is inherent in the original words.

In my reading of your posts, Mario, it is THIS original intent Constitution and THIS original intent Article II clause which you have explicated thoroughly since your first prescient post on December 20, 2008 when you published ”The Two Constitutional Obstacles Obama Has To Overcome To Be President.”

For the Obama Obirthers who take the low road and ridicule as sycophantic and toady the giving of public kudos where public kudos are due for being seminal and prescient, only one question is necessary and which they will probably be true to form and ignore again, or maybe mention again Jack Maskell from the Congressional Research Service.

Can the Obama Obirthers name only one person, just one, to whom the Obirthers would give THEIR public kudos to for being “seminal and prescient” in defense of the Obirther supposition and inherent implication that BHObama was born on U.S. soil and he IS a “natural born Citizen” BECAUSE, yes, BECAUSE he ONLY had ONE U.S. citizen parent?

For us who are not constitutional scholars, this is a quick look at important words associated with the original intent of the original birthers in 1787 America who wrote “natural born Citizen” with ONLY ONE (1) “original intent” meaning, not two.

To qualify as a “natural born Citizen”, the birth was to be ONLY on U.S. soil with two (2) U.S. citizen parents who were married to each other BEFORE their child was born a U.S. Citizen.

In 1787 America, obviously, the child born would ONLY inherit the status of a living human being as the result of the physical union of two persons.

In 1787 America, obviously, the living human being would would ALSO be a U.S. citizen child who ALSO would ONLY be able to inherit the status of a U.S. “natural born Citizen” as the result of the physical union of two persons married to each other who were BOTH U.S. citizens BEFORE the child was born.


American Heritage Dictionary

Hereditament
her-e-dit-a-ment … n.

Heritable property.


>> In America, the “right of property” is heritable and the “property of rights” is heritable, unless America is “transformed” from a free republic to a collectivist commune.

Hereditary
he-red-i-tar-y … adj.

1. Law a. Descending from an ancestor to a legal heir; passing down by inheritance.
1. Law b. Having title or possession through inheritance.


>> A foreign citizen parent can NOT pass down the status of a U.S. “natural born Citizen” to a child born on U.S. soil or on foreign soil for the same reason that a foreign citizen parent can NOT pass down the status of a U.S. Citizen to a child born on U.S. soil or foreign soil. The foreign citizen parent does not “own” simple U.S. “citizen” status.

2. Transmitted or capable of being transmitted genetically from parent to offspring: a hereditary disease.
3a. Appearing in or typical of successive generations.
3b. Learned from ancestors: a hereditary prejudice.

_Heritage

>> The “property” in context can also include citizenship status.

2. Something passed down from preceding generations; a tradition.

>> Citizen status can also be “passed down.”

3. The status acquired through birth; a birthright.

>> U.S. “Citizen” OR “natural born Citizen” is a “birthright” status that is NOT “heritable” from a parent who is still a foreign citizen, so the foreign citizen parent can NOT pass on what is NOT “owned” by that foreign citizen parent.

in-her-ent … ajd.

Existing as an essential constituent or characteristic; intrinsic.

1b. To receive by bequest or as a legacy.

2. To receive or take over from a predecessor.

3. Biology.

3c. The sum of characteristics genetically transmitted from parents to offspring.


The “parents to offspring” = plural, 2 … = the 2 become 1, the minimum … = the TWO (2) U.S. “citizen” parents reproduce and the physical union of TWO (2) persons produces at least ONE (1) new person who is a living being in the ONE (1) nation of the TWO (2) U.S. “citizen” parents, and the “new person,” being by physical birth ALSO a new “citizen” of the ONE (1) nation of the TWO (2) U.S. “citizen” parents, is ALSO a 'natural born Citizen' of the ONE (1) nation of the TWO (2) U.S. “citizen” parents.


The new living being U.S.“citizen” child receives U.S. “citizen” status from BOTH parents because BEFORE the child is born, BOTH parents are U.S. citizens, either both by birth on U.S. soil, or both by naturalization by oath on U.S. soil, or any combination of the two.


The new living being U.S. “citizen” child receives U.S. “natural born Citizen” status from BOTH parents because BEFORE the child is born, BOTH parents are U.S. citizens, either both by birth, both by naturalization by oath, or a combination of the two.


If only one parent is a U.S. Citizen and the other parent is a foreign citizen, the child is the product of a U.S. citizen and a foreign citizen, so the child can NOT be ONLY a singular U.S. “Citizen” and can NOT be ONLY a U.S. “natural born Citizen.”


_Lineage
lin-e-age … n.

1a. Direct descent from a particular ancestor; ancestry.
1b. Derivation.

2. The descendants of a common ancestor considered to be the founder of the line.



_Nationality

1. The status of belonging to a particular nation by origin, birth, or naturalization.


>> If one of the parents is still a foreign citizen because nationalization by oath has not taken place, citizenship by birth on U.S. soil results in the status of “citizen” by birth for ONLY that one (1) nation, not two or more nations. It is the other nation(s) that gives the status of citizen of that foreign nation to a U.S. “citizen” whose parents are of different nationalities.

>> U.S. citizenship by naturalization by oath on U.S. soil results in the status of “citizen” by oath in and for ONLY the one (1) U.S. nation.

>> Citizenship by birth on U.S. soil with two (2) U.S. Citizen parents results in the status of U.S. “citizen” by birth in and for ONLY that one (1) nation, with the inherent status of “natural born Citizen” by birth in and for ONLY that one (1) nation.

2. A people having common origins or traditions and often constituting a nation.


>> Two people, married or cohabiting, one of whom is a U.S. citizen and the other a foreign citizen, are NOT members of one nation, and consequently, the child produced is also NOT a member of ONLY one (1) nation but of two (2) nations]

3. Existence as a politically autonomous entity; national independence.

4. National character.


>> Two persons with two different nationalities can NOT have ONLY one (1) “national character” that can be “heritable.”

5. Nationalism.


_Nativity
na-tiv-i-ty … n.

1. Birth, esp. the place, conditions, or circumstances of being born.



>> The “place, conditions, or circumstances” of BHObama's birth are still in dispute in 2014.

2. [3 references to the births of Jesus, paintings about his births, and Christmas.]
3. A. horoscope for the time of one's birth.


>> For people who are true believers in astrology and horoscopes and stars, aka suns, millions of miles away from earth supposedly having influence in a persons nativity on earth, there is obvious chaos in the stars which would make a BHO natal chart problematic because the natal charts would be in conflict with each other.

The suggested reading assignment for our “Obirther” friends of Obama, and for our “birther” friends of original birthers Washington and Jay and Jefferson and et alli, is Rob Natelson's book, “The Original Constitution – What it Actually Said and Meant,” Chapter 2 on page 29, Interpreting The Constitution, specifically page 32, the section titled Finding The “Intent of the Makers” from the Text.

Here are two short sentences from the first paragraph on page 32.

“When reading the text of the Constitution to find the 'intent of the makers,' you must read as a member of the Founding Generation would have done.”

[…]

“You must read words to mean what they meant in the 1780s rather than what they mean today.”
