Click Here The words and phrases enshrined in the U.S. Constitution hold a timeless quality, their meanings meticulously chosen by the Founding Fathers. These definitions were not arbitrary but rooted in well-established principles of law and governance, designed to endure through the ages. One such term, “Natural Born Citizen,” as mentioned in Article 2, has been the subject of much debate in modern times. However, a closer examination of historical context and legal foundations reveals a steadfast definition that remains unaltered since the Constitution’s creation. The Founding Fathers drew significant inspiration from The Law of Nations when crafting the Constitution and defining the powers of the new nation. The Law of Nations, a comprehensive legal treatise by Emer de Vattel published in 1758, was a cornerstone in the Founders’ understanding of international law, sovereignty, and citizenship. Vattel’s work was not merely influential; it was one of the primary sources that shaped the legal terminology and principles embedded in the Constitution. The term “Natural Born Citizen” finds its definitive clarity in The Law of Nations. Vattel explicitly defined a “natural-born citizen” as one born in the country to citizen parents, a definition that was well understood and accepted during the drafting of the Constitution. This understanding is not just inferred but directly referenced in the Constitution itself. Article 1, Section 8 grants Congress the power to define and punish offenses against the Law of Nations, implicitly acknowledging its principles as foundational to the new American legal system. Vattel’s precise wording in The Law of Nations (§ 212) leaves no room for ambiguity: Emer de Vattel, The Law of Nations § 212 (T. & J. W. Johnson & Co. 1852). “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.” This definition was not only well-known but was the only source available at the time that offered such a detailed explanation of what it meant to be a “natural-born citizen.” The Founding Fathers, including figures like George Washington, John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson, frequently referenced Vattel’s work when framing the Constitution. This is further evidenced by John Jay’s correspondence with George Washington, where he stressed the necessity of ensuring that only a “Natural Born Citizen” could hold the office of President to prevent foreign influence. Moreover, Vattel’s influence extended beyond the drafting of the Constitution and into the judicial interpretations of the U.S. Supreme Court. Over the years, the Supreme Court has referenced Vattel’s work in dozens of rulings to define key constitutional principles and terms. For example: Chisholm v. Georgia (1793): The Supreme Court referenced Vattel to articulate principles of state sovereignty and the law of nations, which were foundational in determining the relationship between states and the federal government. The Paquete Habana (1900): This case relied on The Law of Nations to affirm that international law is part of U.S. law, emphasizing the relevance of Vattel’s principles in the American legal system. Ware v. Hylton (1796): Vattel’s views on treaties and international obligations were cited, underscoring his influence on how the Supreme Court interpreted treaty obligations under the Constitution. Talbot v. Janson (1795): The Court used Vattel’s definitions of citizenship and allegiance to resolve questions of dual nationality and expatriation. These cases demonstrate that the principles set forth in The Law of Nations were not merely theoretical but were actively applied by the highest court in the land to interpret the Constitution and guide legal decisions. To further support the argument that the term “natural born citizen” has consistently been understood within the framework set forth by Vattel, it’s essential to highlight that the U.S. Supreme Court has repeatedly reaffirmed this interpretation in key rulings. Specifically, the Court has applied the term “natural born citizen” exclusively to individuals born in the country to parents who are citizens thereof, aligning directly with Vattel’s definition as stated in The Law of Nations. The following Supreme Court cases illustrate this consistent interpretation: Minor v. Happersett (1875): The Court explicitly stated that “natural-born citizens are those born in the country of parents who are its citizens,” directly echoing Vattel’s definition. This ruling confirmed that the understanding of “natural born citizen” was well-established and had not been expanded to include other categories. The Venus (1814): Justice John Marshall cited Vattel directly, emphasizing that those who are born in the country to parents who are citizens are the true “natural born citizens.” This case reinforced the strict interpretation of the term as it relates to eligibility for the presidency. Shanks v. Dupont (1830): The Court again referred to Vattel’s definition of citizenship to resolve issues of allegiance and natural-born status, affirming that a “natural born citizen” must be born within the jurisdiction of the United States to citizen parents. Wong Kim Ark (1898): While this case focused on the status of children born in the U.S. to non-citizen parents, the Court made a clear distinction between “citizens at birth” under the 14th Amendment and “natural born citizens” eligible for the presidency, reserving the latter term for those born to citizen parents. These cases collectively demonstrate that the definition of “natural born citizen” as articulated by Vattel has been not only recognized but also consistently upheld by the Supreme Court of the United States. The Founding Fathers’ reliance on Vattel’s work, combined with the judiciary’s adherence to this interpretation, underscores the original intent behind the constitutional requirement for presidential eligibility and the exclusion of any broader definition

PROTECTING OUR CHILDREN FROM THE TYRANNICAL GRIP OF GOVERNMENT

PROTECTING OUR CHILDREN FROM THE TYRANNICAL GRIP OF GOVERNMENT Stop the Threat of Gender Confusion By Ron Bouchard Our children have been the target of a systematic attack for decades. Over the last four years, we have witnessed an exponential increase in this onslaught. Although the origins of these attacks may be traced back to those who consider themselves part of the global “elite” from organizations like the World Economic Forum and the United Nations, it Is our elected officials who are mostly to blame. They have not only permitted these assaults on our children, but they have also taken part in them. Government employees must collude to allow the destructive ideologies that are the brain trust of social engineers—such as Diversity Equity and Inclusion (DEI), Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Critical Race Theory (CRT), and the normalization of transgenderism—to permeate our culture. These ideologies are opposed to logic, the Constitution, and the values outlined in our country’s foundational laws. Because of the propaganda that has been used against the people, there have been more sexual assaults in schools, more cases of mental health problems in children, more experimental gender mutilation surgeries, more cases of child trafficking, and more instances of the government acting outside of its designated jurisdiction because of misfeasance, nonfeasance, or malfeasance. Since the sole and only legitimate end of government is to secure our rights, every other function is a usurpation against the sovereignty of the people and therefore an act of TREASON. The Rise in Sexual Assaults in Schools Across the Nation There has been a roughly 20 percent increase in sexual attacks against adolescent females at school, and over 10 percent of them are victims of rape, according to the Centers for Disease Control, which is notorious for manipulating data to fit the government narrative. That figure is therefore probably much larger than what has been stated. The Rise in Gender Dysphoria Across the Nation The Washington University Transgender Center at St. Louis Children’s Hospital is the subject of an ongoing investigation after a former caseworker, who turned whistleblower, shockingly denounced the facility, and voiced worries about the rising number of youngsters identifying as transgender there. Jamie Reed, a former caseworker, was horrified by how little is required for children to start transitioning and startled that there are no set protocols for treatment. She describes herself as an LGBT “progressive” who leans left of Bernie Sanders and says she has noticed a startling increase in young people coming out as transgender, particularly in adolescent girls. Families would contact Reed about ten times a month when she initially began working as a caseworker to request help for a transgender child. The frequency of calls from families whose children had come out as transgender had surged 500% by the time, she left the organization. Seventy percent of the new patients were female; often groups of girls from the same high school would come in. Reed said, “What is happening is ethically and physiologically awful.” She also took issue with the facility’s minimization of possible negative consequences on boys and girls, including the risk of suicide. According to Gallup’s 2022 survey, 7.2 percent of American adults identify as LGBTQ+, and among Gen Zers, that percentage rises to 19.7 percent. In contrast, 11.2 percent of millennials identify as LGBTI (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or other). What is behind this rise in gender dysphoria? The CEO and president of the LGBTQ+ charity GLAAD, Sarah Kate Ellis, would respond, “More and more LGBTQ Americans are free to come out and live as our genuine selves,” when asked why there has been an increase. If that were the case, though, shouldn’t we observe a corresponding rise in happiness as well as a decline in anxiety and other mental health problems? It is more likely that socially engineered cultural fads and trends—which aim to weaken our kids while making money from their suffering—are to blame for the rise. This is also consistent with the nationwide increase in mental health problems that we are witnessing. The Rise in Mental Health Issues Across the Nation Most of these kids have mental health problems. Indeed, a French study found that 93% of children with true gender dysphoria are schizophrenic and have multiple comorbidities, including eating disorders, obesity, depression, anxiety, ADHD, and autism-like symptoms. According to the CDC’s Youth Risk Behavior Survey Data Summary & Trends Report: 2011-2021, “America’s teen girls are engulfed in a growing wave of sadness, violence, and trauma,” Dr. Debra Houry, CDC’s chief medical officer and Deputy Director for Program and Science told reporters in a CDC media briefing on Feb. 13. Over the past decade, teen girls have experienced dramatic increases in violence, poor mental health, and suicide risk, Houry added. In 2021, 57% (or about three in five) of teen girls in the U.S. felt persistently sad or hopeless — double that of boys — which represents a nearly 60% increase since 2011 and the highest level reported over the past decade, according to the CDC. Additionally, 30% of (almost one in three) teen girls seriously considered attempting suicide in the last year, the report found. You might be wondering what should be done when a youngster exhibits mental illness? Evidently, the answer of course is to ignore it, affirm their delusion, and in lieu of mental health services that will get to the root of the problem, offer irreversible hormone treatments and surgery. The Rise in Experimental Gender Mutilation Procedures Across the Nation. CNN Health reported on August 23, 2023, the number of gender-affirming surgeries done in the United States nearly tripled between 2016 and 2019, a new study shows. What’s even more worrisome is that the surgeons admit to using our children as “learning tools” as they “figure out what works” to perform these intrusive, drastically transformative, utterly experimental, shocking, and highly experimental procedures. There are currently no published studies on the subject, therefore very little is known about the outcomes of these surgeries,
