Actually the American people deserve exactly what they get. We have a Constitution that was designed to prevent this sort fundamentally transformation of America by an elected leader.
The Constitution states that the requirement for President is 35 years of age and a "Natural Born" Citizen. We ignore the Natural as if only means born in the US. It has a very specific meaning
and was included for a specific purpose. The only place where the term was defined at the time of the writing of the Constitution is in the Law of Nation, a document well know for being a reference work the founders used to create both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. So ignoring the reasoning of "original intent" has us in deep trouble again. Trouble foreseen by the founders and ignored by the current generations.
Natural Born
"The citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to its authority,
they equally participate in its advantages. The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country,
of parents who are citizens. As the society cannot exist and perpetuate itself otherwise than by the children of the citizens,
those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all their rights. The society is supposed to desire this,
in consequence of what it owes to its own preservation; and it is presumed, as matter of course, that each citizen, on entering into society,
reserves to his children the right of becoming members of it. The country of the fathers is therefore that of the children;
and these become true citizens merely by their tacit consent. We shall soon see whether, on their coming to the years of discretion,
they may renounce their right, and what they owe to the society in which they were born. I say, that, in order to be of the country,
it is necessary that a person be born of a father who is a citizen; for, if he is born there of a foreigner,
it will be only the place of his birth, and not his country."
The blunt intent by the founders was to prevent the Royalty of Europe from coming to American, fathering a child with an American woman, then educating that child to become
President of the United States with loyalty to the Fathers interest or Nation. Such a child by law of the Constitution would be an citizen of the Father's nation just the same as if any one of us
have one of our children born abroad, they are still American. The 14th amendment changed this partially and probably misguidedly, that any child born here is a US citizen. However, the amendment did nothing to change the meaning of Natural born and thereby the qualification to be President.
You can see this thinking in the writings and letters of the founders. See John Jay to Washington for example of what I just said.
Then we have Barack Obama writing about his own father, a Muslim of British decent, never a US Citizen, resident for a short time as a student, not a loyal American.
"My father was a Muslim and although I did not know him well the religion of my father and his family was always something I had an interest in. This interest became more intense when my mother married an Indonesian Muslim man and as a small child I lived in Indonesia and attended school alongside Muslim pupils. I saw their parents dutifully observing the daily prayers, the mothers covered in the Muslim hijab, the atmosphere of the school change during Ramadan, and the festiveness of the Eid celebrations."
Barack Obama Jr. is precisely the citizen that the founders attempted to prohibit from becoming President. It has nothing to do with his birth place.
He will never engage in war with the Muslims that commit the atrocities Indeed he will endeavor to convince you to accept this as normal small crimes, to be expected from those we have not helped enough.
By ignoring our history and our Constitution we are guilty of bring the leadership we receive. Many will die before the majority wake up.
