The Textured Vegetable Protein President/ Where’s the Beef?
United States citizenship, like hamburger patties, comes in various categories of quality. The quality is determined by the amount of soy protein meat substitute added to the pure beef of the burger. The percentage of soy added represents the percentage of parental foreignness that one inherits at birth.
Those who are the natural born citizens of America are 100% pure beef with no added soy filler because their parents are both 100% American.
Those who are natural born citizens who happened to have been born outside of America are like a lean-meat burger which has less juicy fat content.
Those who are born in America to an American husband and a foreign wife are like a burger that’s only 66% real beef. But historically their citizenship would have been 100% beef because the foreign wife would have become an American as soon as the minister signed the marriage certificate. She would have been “naturalized by marriage”, thus making the husband the head of a household with only one single citizenship. But travel is so easy in this age and American citizenship so prized that it is certain that lots of American men would marry foreign women for money, and so citizenship is no longer granted to foreign wives of American-citizen men.
Those who were born abroad to an American husband and foreign wife, as well as those born domestically to an American wife and immigrant husband are like a burger that is 50% pure beef and 50% soy. One of the former recently joined my extended family when one of my nephews father a child with his German wife in Germany. It has dual-citizenship, dual nationality, dual heritage, dual culture, dual language. As such, its citizenship is not natural and it is not a natural born citizen of either America nor Germany, instead it is a hybrid.
Those who are born in America to an American wife and a foreign diplomat/envoy/visitor/businessman/professor/ or student (an extremely rare occurrence) is 66.6% soy filler and 33.4% beef. Historically such a child would be viewed as a foreigner because the American wife would have been “expatriated by marriage” switching nationalities, obtaining that of her husband.
Those born abroad to an American wife and foreign husband who are living in his homeland have at best 25% American citizenship beef and 75% foreign soy citizenship filler.
It can be seen from this example any candidate for the American presidency is constitutionally legitimate only if his citizenship is 100% pure beef with no foreign soy filler. The citizenship of Barack Obama is not natural citizenship, nor is it constitutional citizenship since his father was not an immigrant but was merely a temporary Visa Card visitor, therefore it is irrelevant that he was born on U.S. soil.
So his citizenship is therefore “derivative citizenship” since it is derived from his mother’s citizenship. That is something that historically was a rare situation (although it was common when an immigrant father became a naturalized citizen, then his foreign-born wife and children automatically received derivative citizenship through him). It typically only applied for an American woman when she divorced her foreign husband and became repatriated, thereby regaining her American citizenship which then also was conveyed through her to her children.
There’s a good possibility that in 1961 when Obama was born, the INS viewed his mother as being a British subject via marriage to one, or at least viewed any child born to them as being British only and not American since it would have inherited only the father’s citizenship as was the historical tradition.
So where’s the constitutional beef in our President’s citizenship? It’s sorely lacking. His citizenship is at best 33.3% America beef and 66.6% foreign soy, while the founding fathers wrote in stone in the Constitution that the President must be 100% pure American beef, -as is over 95% of the American population. They are natural American citizens who were born to American citizens. There is no extraneous foreign soy filler in them, “not that there’s anything wrong with that”. In fact it’s perfectly ok for every American Congressman and Senator, for every American Justice of the Supreme Court, and every American Chairman of the Joints Chiefs of Staff, and every American Secretary of State and Attorney General. But it is not ok for any President and Commander-In-Chief of the United States Military because that position is exclusively reserved for only those who are 100% American.
