I am now 66 years old, born on January 7, 1950. Every presidential election held in my lifetime has violated
Article II Section 1 Paragraph 3 states: “…And they shall make a List of all of the Persons voted for, and of the Number of Votes for each; which List they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the Seat of the Government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate. The President of the Senate shall, in the Presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the Certificates, and the Votes shall then be counted. The Person having the Greatest Number of Votes shall be the President, if such Number be a Majority of the whole Number of Electors appointed; and if there be more than one who have such a Majority, and have an equal Number of Votes then the House of Representatives shall immediately chuse by Ballot one of them for President; and if no Person have a Majority, then from the five highest on the List the said House shall in like manner
The political parties, once established, didn’t like this so they modified it a bit with Amendment XII but didn’t change that much. I don’t see where the party-line ticket use was called for anywhere nor that only party candidates are allowed on ballots. They do this to shut We the People out of the process except for having their hand-picked party lemming as a choice, which isn’t a real choice in most cases. I believe this is why Trump folded and agreed to support the GOP nominee; he knew they would keep him off the ballot in enough states to make an independent run unfeasible.
Paragraph 5 states that only a natural born citizen or a citizen at the time of the adoption of the Constitution shall be eligible to be President, rendering Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio ineligible. A Supreme Court decision, Minor vs. Happersett in 1875, defined a natural born citizen as one born of parents who are both citizens at the time of birth of the candidate. Rubio and Cruz aren’t eligible because their parents weren’t citizens when they were born. Cruz’s mother was but his father was a citizen of Cuba. I like Ted Cruz because I believe him to be an honorable man who would govern rather than rule but he isn’t eligible and therefore won’t get my support nor my vote. Are we to toss the Constitution out because liberals do?
In my lifetime every presidential election has been held with a Pres/Vice-Pres ticket, a take it or leave it option that does not comply with the Constitution. This is how we got fuhrer obama, along with the GOP
As long as the NEW WORLD ORDER SOCIALIST PARTY controls America through their donkey and elephant wings we will never again see liberty. The founders opposed political parties because they foresaw today happening, the country controlled by a limited group of self-serving despots and shutting citizens out of having any meaningful voice in government. Those who insist we vote for republicans to keep democrats out haven’t been paying attention to the gop treachery, or are too stupid to see how the gop is enslaving them by giving the socialist demokrats everything they want. Just a few days ago hillary clinton praised
I submit this in the name of the Most Holy Trinity, in faith, with the responsibility given to me by Almighty God to honor His work and not let it die from neglect.
