AMENDED COMPLAINTFOR DECLARATORY JUDGEMENT AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF
INTRODUCTION
Plaintiffs, Tracy A. Fair (Pro Se) and Mary C. Miltenberger (Pro Se) bring this
Amended Complaint for Declaratory Judgment and Injunctive Relief against the above
Defendants and charge them with malfeasance in office, dereliction of duty and in
violation of their constitutional oath.
1
When I first filed my complaint, I originally charged Barack Obama, for signing
a form swearing he was eligible, when he wasn’t. But after extensive research and
finding out that the Board of Elections no longer requires the certificate of candidacy
form, where candidates swear under oath that they are eligible, we feel the blame falls on
those who were required to follow the law, when certifying a candidate to make sure he
is eligible to be on the ballot. What these officials did, resulted in the Board having no
signature on file, of Mr. Obama swearing that he is qualified, leaving no recourse against
Mr. Obama.
The actions taken to circumvent the sworn oath of Obama’s qualifications,
combined with accepting a certificate of nomination in 2008 that omitted the constitution
phrase, along with Sheriff Arpaio’s investigation on Obama’s Forged Birth Certificate,
only shows that there is something seriously wrong here. There are several checks to
avoid an ineligible candidate getting on the ballot and every last defendant, went around
that check.
The first check was Obama, who studied constitutional law and knew he was not
eligible to run. Second, Nancy Pelosi in 2008, knew he wasn’t allowed to run, which is
why she removed the constitutional clause from the certificate of nomination (exhibit #1).
The Board has a check to certify the candidate by federal and state laws as well, which
they also failed to do. Then the Secretary of State took an oath to the Constitution, which
he did not abide by either, thereby illegally allowing Obama on the ballot. As Maryland
and federal law requires, candidates for President must be natural born citizens and
regardless of what laws the Board claims they follow, no law negates the United States
2
Constitution and all defendants took an oath to uphold that Constitution and laws thereof.
From the Board of Election’s own website under Qualifications for filing
Candidacy, the chart clearly states that the President and Vice President must be natural
born citizens as opposed to all other offices, which only need to be citizens (exhibit #2).
We have discussed this issue many times with the State Board of Elections and
the Secretary of State’s Office and were told the only law they follow is EL 8-502, which
allows the Secretary of State to certify an individual to be on the ballot, solely because
he’s been advocated in the media, while disregarding all other federal and state laws on
Presidential eligibility.
There are many other federal and state laws that require an individual to be
qualified for the office they seek and the defendants are not allowed to pick and choose
the laws they wish to follow, in order to change the outcome of elections. Moreover,
there is monumental amounts of “media” that does not advocate Obama, including the
Kenyan Parliament’s recorded minutes, stating Obama is not a native American (exhibit
#3) and Sheriff Arpaio’s investigation of Obama birth certificate, which shows it to be a
forgery (exhibit #4). In filing this complaint we respectfully allege that:
NATURE OF THE ACTION
1. The acts of these individuals in concert, of willfully neglecting their official
duties and suspending laws which are detriment to the security of this nation, has
removed all checks on determining the legitimacy of the candidates and has resulted in a
candidate for President of the United States, on the Democratic ticket in 2008 and 2012,
who is not required to certify under oath that he is a natural born citizen and legitimately
3
meets the requirements under the U.S. Constitution and Maryland Law.
2. That each and every defendant listed above has taken an oath to uphold the
Constitution and and must be held accountable for their actions or lack thereof, which
allowed this to happen. We feel they must be censured and removed, for malfeasance in
office, dereliction of duty and for violating their oath to uphold the US and Maryland
Constitutions.
3. We feel the evidence proves beyond doubt that the citizens of Maryland have
been deceived by the Maryland legislators into thinking that the U.S. Constitution is
being upheld, when they purposely created a law to avoid their oaths of office and allow
an impostor to be elected as U.S. President. This is the only time in the history of the
United States, that Maryland has changed its election law to allow for this subversion
of both the Constitution and Maryland law. However, even though Maryland laws
have been changed to circumvent the requirement for presidential candidates to file a
certificate of candidacy, the defendants must still adhere to all federal and state laws on
presidential eligibility and any laws that are made contrary are notwithstanding under
Article 2 of the Declaration of Rights in the Maryland Constitution.
4. Overwhelming evidence proves that Barack Obama is not a natural born citizen
and was fraudulently allowed to be placed on the ballot by the defendants, even though
he is not eligible under federal and state laws.
PARTIES
Plaintiffs, Tracy Fair of 19 W. Obrecht Rd., Sykesville, MD. 21784, 443-277-1708
and Mary Coffey Miltenberger of 14701 Smouse's Mill Rd., NE Cumberland. Md. 21502,
4
301-724-9110.
Defendant, Chairman of the Maryland Board of Elections, Robert L. Walker of
151 West Street, Suite 200, Annapolis, Maryland, 21401, took an oath to uphold the
United States Constitution. Under Election Law Article, Title 2-102, the Board’s duties
include managing and supervising elections in the State and ensure compliance with the
requirements of this article and any applicable federal law by all persons involved in the
elections process. His duties under EL 2-101 also include conforming to the restrictions
specified under § 2-301, which states the individual may not use their official authority
for the purpose of influencing or affecting the result of an election. It is also the Boards
job to appoint a State Administrator.
Defendant, Maryland State Administrator of Elections, Linda H. Lamone of 151
West Street, Suite 200, Annapolis, Maryland, 21401, took an oath to uphold the United
States Constitution. Linda has been the State Administrator for over 15 years, which
could account for the relaxed rules at the Board of Elections. The State Administrator’s
duties under EL 2-103 include performing all duties and exercise all powers that are
assigned by law to the State Administrator or delegated by the State Board, including
certifying candidates to be on the ballot for State elections.
Defendant, Maryland Secretary of State, John P. McDonough of 16 Francis
Street, Annapolis, MD 21401, took an oath to uphold the United States Constitution. The
Secretary of State’s duties, during the Primary election, according to EL 8-502, include
certifying presidential candidates, only by their being generally advocated or recognized
in the news media and totally disregarding all other federal and state laws in relation to
5
presidential eligibility.
Defendant, Director of the Candidacy and Campaign Finance Division of the
Maryland State Board of Elections, Jared DeMarinis, took an oath to uphold the United
States Constitution. According to the Board of Elections, I was told that Jared was in
charge of certificates of candidacy and was directed to him every time I called. Jared told
me several times on the phone that he follows one law when certifying presidential
candidates and that he no longer requires them to file a certificate of candidacy. He
claims he no longer needs the form where a candidate signs under oath, that they meet
the requirement for that office. I asked Jared to put that in writing, but he refused. He did
however write me a letter (exhibit #5), saying the Board of Elections follows all laws,
which is obviously not true.
JURISDICTION
TITLE 9 - VOTING
Subtitle 2 - Ballots
After confirming with the Board of Elections of when they would be certifying
candidates, I made sure to file within the 3 day time period, therefore this Court has
jurisdiction over this action pursuant to Maryland Election Law 9-20 and 12-202 and
according to the case below, must be expressed expeditiously.
Fulani v. Hogsett, 917 F.2d 1028, 1031
We also recognize that some federal courts have adopted a per se rule with respect to the
application of laches to claims arising out of elections, stating that “any claim against a
state electoral procedure must be expressed expeditiously.”

SUPREME COURT CASES - ELECTIONS
Burson v. Freeman, 504 U.S. 191, 211 (1992)
The court calls it a "fundamental right" to "cast a ballot in an election free from the taint
of intimidation and fraud"
Wesberry v. Sanders - 376 U.S. 1 (1964)
No right is more precious in a free country than that of having a voice in the election of
those who make the laws under which, as good citizens, we must live. Other rights, even
the most basic, are illusory if the right to vote is undermined. Our Constitution leaves no
room for classification of people in a way that unnecessarily abridges this right.
SUPREME COURT CASES - NATURAL BORN CITIZEN DEFINED
Minor v. Happersett, 88 U.S. 162 (1874) Chief Justice Waite
'Allegiance and protection are, in this connection (that is, in relation to citizenship)
reciprocal obligations. The one is a compensation for the other; allegiance for protection,
and protection for allegiance.'
"The Constitution does not, in words, say who shall be natural-born citizens. Resort must
be had elsewhere to ascertain that. At common-law, with the nomenclature of which
the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children
born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth,
citizens also. These were natives, or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or
21
foreigners.
Some authorities go further and include as citizens children born within the jurisdiction
without reference to the citizenship of their parents. As to this class there have been
doubts, but never as to the first.”
Elk v. Wilkins 112 U.S. 94 (1884) Justice Gray cites Chief Justice Taney:
The distinction between citizenship by birth and citizenship by naturalization is clearly
marked in the provisions of the Constitution, by which “No person, except a natural born
citizen or a citizen of the United States at the time of the adoption of this Constitution
shall be eligible to the office of President," and "The Congress shall have power to
establish an uniform rule of naturalization." Constitution, Article II, Section 1; Article
I, Section 8. By the Thirteenth Amendment of the Constitution, slavery was prohibited.
The main object of the opening sentence of the Fourteenth Amendment was to settle
the question, upon which there had been a difference of opinion throughout the country
and in this Court, as to the citizenship of free negroes Scott v. Sandford, 19 How. 393,
and to put it beyond doubt that all persons, white or black, and whether formerly slaves
or not, born or naturalized in the United States, and owing no allegiance to any alien
power, should be citizens of the United States and of the state in which they reside.
Slaughterhouse Cases, 16 Wall. 36, 83 U.S. 73; Strauder v. West Virginia, 100 U.S. 303,
100 U.S. 306.
This section contemplates two sources of citizenship, and two sources only: birth and
naturalization. The persons declared to be citizens are "all persons born or naturalized
in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof." The evident meaning of
22
these last words is not merely subject in some respect or degree to the jurisdiction of
the United States, but completely subject to their political jurisdiction and owing them
direct and immediate allegiance. And the words relate to the time of birth in the one
case, as they do to the time of naturalization in the other. Persons not thus subject to the
jurisdiction of the United States at the time of birth cannot become so afterwards except
by being naturalized, either individually, as by proceedings under the naturalization acts,
or collectively, as by the force of a treaty by which foreign territory is acquired.
The Venus, 12 U.S. 8 Cranch 253 (1814) Chief Justice Marshall:
“The whole system of decisions applicable to this subject, rests on the law of nations
as its base. It is, therefore, of some importance to enquire how far the 24 writers on
that law consider the subjects of one power residing within the territory of another, as
retaining their original character, or partaking of the character of the nation in which
they reside. “Vattel, who, though not very full to this point, is more explicit and more
satisfactory on it than any other whose work has fallen into my hands, says, '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 indigenes, are
those born in the country, of parents who are citizens. Society not being able to subsist
and to perpetuate itself but by the children of the citizens, those children naturally follow
the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all their rights."
The Nereide - 13 U.S. 388 (1815) Chief Justice Marshall
“It is not for us to depart from the beaten track prescribed for us, and to tread the devious
and intricate path of politics. Even in the case of salvage, a case peculiarly within the
23
discretion of courts because no fixed rule is prescribed by the law of nations, Congress
has not left it to this department to say whether the rule of foreign nations shall be
applied to them, but has by law applied that rule. If it be the will of the government to
apply to Spain any rule respecting captures which Spain is supposed to apply to us, the
government will manifest that will by passing an act for the purpose. Till such an act be
passed, the Court is bound by the law of nations which is a part of the law of the land.”
Banco Nacional de Cuba v. Sabbatino
As early as 1793, Chief Justice Jay stated in Chisholm v. Georgia that, "Prior . . . to that
period [the date of the Constitution], the United States had, by taking a place among the
nations of the earth, become amenable to the law of nations." 2 U. S. 2 Dall. 419 at 2 U.
S. 474. And, in 1796, Justice Wilson stated in Ware v. Hylton:
"When the United States declared their independence, they were bound to receive the law
of nations, in its modern state of purity and refinement." 3 U. S. 3 Dall. 199 at 3 U. S.
281.
Chief Justice Marshall was even more explicit in The Nereide when he said:
"If it be the will of the Government to apply to Spain any rule respecting captures which
Spain is supposed to apply to us, the Government will manifest that will by passing an
act for the purpose. Till such an act be passed, the Court is bound by the law of nations,
which is a part of the law of the land." 13 U. S. 9 Cranch 388 at 13 U. S. 423.
As to the effect such an Act of Congress would have on international law, the Court has
ruled that an Act of Congress ought never to be construed to violate the law of nations if
any other possible construction remains. MacLeod v. United States, 229 U. S. 416, 229
24
U. S. 434 (1913).
Natural Born Citizen in the Constitutional drafts:
June 18th, 1787 - Alexander Hamilton’s draft for the Constitution suggests in Article
IX, Section 1 that: "No person shall be eligible to the office of President of the United
States unless he be now a Citizen of one of the States, or hereafter be born a Citizen of
the United States." (Works of Alexander Hamilton: Miscellanies, 1774-1789, page 407).
July 25, 1787 (~5 weeks later) - John Jay writes a letter to General Washington
(president of the Constitutional Convention): "Permit me to hint, whether it would be
wise and seasonable to provide a strong check to the admission of Foreigners into the
administration of our national Government; and to declare expressly that the Commander
in Chief of the American army shall not be given to nor devolve on, any but a natural
born Citizen." [the word born is underlined in Jay's letter which signifies the importance
of allegiance from birth.] (Records of the Federal Convention of 1787 [Farrand's
Records, Volume 3] LXVIII, page 61. John Jay to George Washington)
September 2nd, 1787 George Washington pens a letter to John Jay. The last line reads:
"I thank you for the hints contained in your letter" (Records of the Federal Convention of
1787 [Farrand's Records, Volume 3] pae 76.)
September 4th, 1787 (~6 weeks after Jay's letter and just 2 days after Washington
wrote back to Jay) - The "Natural Born Citizen" requirement is now found in their
drafts. (Madison’s notes of the Convention - September 4th, 1787) .The proposal passed
unanimously without debate.

Natural Born Citizen in the Congressional Debates
The Civil Rights Act of 1866 was an act to end slavery in the U.S. and make the freed
slaves, citizens. The discussion of these debates actually having been quoted by Justice
Gray in United States v. Wong Kim Ark 169 U.S. 649:
"During the debates in the senate in January and February, 1866, upon the civil rights
bill, Mr. Trumbull, the chairman of the committee which reported the bill, moved to
amend the first sentence thereof so as to read: 'All persons born in the United States,
and not subject to any foreign power, are hereby declared to be citizens of the United
States, without distinction of color.' Mr. Cowan, of Pennsylvania, asked 'whether it
will not have the effect of naturalizing the children of Chinese and Gypsies, born in this
country?' Mr. Trumbull answered, 'Undoubtedly;' (Congressional Globe, 39th Congress,
1st Session p. 498, 573, 57)
When the Civil Rights Act went over to the House, Representative John Bingham
of Ohio, father of the future 14th amendment, confirms the understanding and
construction the framers used in regards to birthright and jurisdiction while speaking on
civil rights of citizens in the House on March 9, 1866 and addressing Trumbull’s
amendment to the bill:
"I find no fault with the introductory clause [S 61 Bill], which is simply declaratory of
what is written in the Constitution, that every human being born within the jurisdiction
of the United States of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is, in the
language of your Constitution itself, a natural born citizen" (1866 Congressional Globe,
House of Representatives, 39th Congress, 1st Session, pg 1291)
26
Again, back in 1862, Representative John Bingham:
“All from other lands, who by the terms of [congressional] laws and a compliance
with their provisions become naturalized, are adopted citizens of the United States;
all other persons born within the Republic, of parents owing allegiance to no other
sovereignty, are natural born citizens. Gentleman can find no exception to this statement
touching natural-born citizens except what is said in the Constitution relating to Indians.”
(Congressional Globe, House of Representatives 37th Congress, 2nd Session, pg 1639)
The 14th amendment was introduced to render the Civil Rights act constitutional
and amend it to the Constitution. It passed in the House, but failed in the Senate until
Senator Jacob Howard's amendment to the bill (the citizenship clause) was introduced.
In 1866 while introducing bill H.R. 127 (14th Amendment) Jacob M. Howard (Author of
the Citizenship clause) states:
"This amendment which I have offered is simply declaratory of what I regard as the law
of the land already, that every person born within the limits of the United States, and
subject to the jurisdiction thereof, is by virtue of natural law and national law a citizen of
the United States." (Congressional Globe, Senate, 39th Congress, 1st Session, pg 2890)
The law he was referring to, was the Civil Rights Act of 1866 which had just
recently passed and states:
"Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of
America in Congress assembled, That all persons born in the United States and not
subject to any foreign power, excluding Indians not taxed, are hereby declared to be
citizens of the United States;" Civil Rights Act of 1866, 14 Stat. 27.
27
Obama’s father was subject to a foreign power and was a British subject (exhibit
6). He was governed under the British Nationality Act of 1948 when Obama was born,
which made Obama a British Subject at birth and it is impossible to become a natural
born citizen, if you are not born as one.
Everyone seems to forget the phrase "subject to the jurisdiction thereof", in the
14th amendment, which is why the law/amendment went astray. The Congressional
records of the 14th amendment debates, give us Trumbull’s exact definition of the intent
of his Citizenship Clause amendment to the bill. Who would know the intent of the
Citizenship Clause better than anyone, than the person who wrote the clause himself?
Senator Lyman Trumbull, Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, author of the Thirteenth
Amendment, and the one who inserted the citizenship clause into the 14th amendment:
"The provision is, that 'all persons born in the United States, and subject to the
jurisdiction thereof, are citizens.' That means 'subject to the complete jurisdiction thereof.'
What do we mean by 'complete jurisdiction thereof?' Not owing allegiance to anybody
else. That is what it means." (Congressional Globe, Senate, 39th Congress, 1st Session,
pg 2893)
Trumbull’s words prove without a doubt that "subject to the jurisdiction thereof"
means the exact same thing as “not owing allegiance to any foreign power. Further
supporting my claims is the Naturalization Oath of Allegiance to the United States of
America which states:
"I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all
allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state or sovereignty, of whom
28
or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the
Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and
domestic;” 8 USC § 1448 - Oath of renunciation and allegiance.
Now why would immigrants not born here and becoming citizens, be required to
renounce all allegiance to any foreign sovereignty, but people born here to immigrants
are not held to that same allegiance requirement? That just makes no sense. Full
allegiance is required for citizenship and the Naturalization Oath and Civil Rights Act
prove that the Founders did not recognize dual citizenship and required full allegiance.
STATEMENT OF FACTS
After several years of thorough research of Congressional records, we believe
our facts that define a natural born citizen, as by the exact people who authored the laws
themselves, to be someone born to two citizen parents, which provides the full allegiance
for citizenship. Because the defendants have no clear intent of the law on presidential
requirements or don’t understand a law, in no way gives them the right to suspend those
laws. When power corrupts and people feel they are above the law and don’t need to
follow them, it puts our country in grave danger and abridges the rights of the people.
I would first like to explain why we have come to court without representation.
We are both aware that it is not a smart thing to do, to be your own attorney, however
we’ve called practically every attorney in Maryland and many outside of Maryland,
we called every lawyer referral service in Maryland we could find and we called every
County Bar Association in the State, in which the woman at the Carroll County Bar
29
Association, in my own county, after explaining my case, said “You are a nutcase and
need to check yourself into a mental institution”, which I find extremely inappropriate,
when they have no clue of the facts in this case.
We almost thought of walking away from this case because it is much too hard to
fight government, much less try and do it without an attorney, but when there is clear and
convincing evidence, someone must stand up to the corruption and try to end it. There
must be someone of authority, that will look at the facts and see that we are not “crazy”
and that we are just trying to defend our Constitution and save our Country.
We believe the facts show that the term Natural Born Citizen is not based upon
English Common Law, but rather on Vattel’s definition written in his legal treatise of
1758 titled, The Law of Nations or Principles of Natural Law. An interesting illustration
is offered by some early statistics concerning courts: within 31 years, from 1789-1820
Grotius was cited in pleadings 16 times, Pufendorf 9 times; Bynkershoek 25 times; Vattel
92times. The courts themselves cited Vattel over 60 times. (Traditional doctrine on
intervention in the law of nations. pg. 252.)
That the framers of the Constitution were influenced by the Law of Nations
cannot be disputed. It has always been considered, by the Supreme Court, as relevant to
international legal disputes in American tribunals.
Delegates to the First and Second Continental Congress, which produced the
Declaration of Independence, often consulted The Law of Nations, as a reference for their
discussions. One important reason why the delegates chose to meet in Carpenters Hall,
was that the building also housed the Library Company of Philadelphia. The librarian
30
reported that Vattel was one of the main sources consulted by the delegates during the
First Continental Congress, which met from Sept. 5 to Oct. 26, 1774. Charles W.F.
Dumas, an ardent supporter of the American cause, printed an edition of The Law of
Nations in 1774, with his own notes illustrating how the book applied to the American
situation. In 1770, Dumas had met Franklin in Holland, and was one of Franklin's key
collaborators in his European diplomacy. He sent three copies to Franklin, instructing
him to send one to Harvard University, and to put one in the Philadelphia library.
In a letter from Ben Franklin to Charles Dumas, dated Dec.19, 1775, Franklin
states:
“I am much obliged by the kind present you have made us of your edition of Vattel. It
came to us in good season, when the circumstances of a rising state make it necessary
frequently to consult the law of nations. Accordingly, that copy which I kept, has been
continually in the hands of the members of our congress, now sitting.” Ben Franklin to
Charles William Frederic Dumas - December 9, 1775. Letters of Delegates to Congress:
Volume 2 September 1775 - December 1775, page 466.
In reading the first paragraph of the Declaration of Independence, it is declared
that the Founders broke ties with British Law and assumed Natural Law, and Vattel’s
book, The Law of Nations or Principles of Natural Law, was what the Founder’s used
when writing the Constitution, as was just confirmed by Benjamin Franklin’s letter to
Charles Dumas.
“When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve
the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the
31
powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of
Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that
they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.” The Declaration of
Independence July 4, 1776.
Vattel’s treatise was first published in 1758, in French. The first edition contains
the exact same passage as the 1775 edition given to Franklin by Dumas. “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.” (Emphasis added.) “The Law
of Nations or Principles of the Law of Nature”, E. de Vattell, (London, 1797), § 212, pg.
101.(App. Pg. 161.)
Book 1, Chapter XIX. section 212 goes on to read:
“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
32
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.”
In late 1779, Governor Thomas Jefferson, a College alumnus and member of its
Board of Visitors, guided the creation of a law school at the College. In contrast to the
practice of the day that aspiring lawyers serve as apprentices to members of the bar,
Jefferson felt that legal education would best be accomplished in a university setting
where students would study law amid the liberal arts.
On December 4, 1779, the College’s Board of Visitors appointed George Wythe,
in whose office Jefferson had apprenticed, as the College’s and nation’s first professor of
law. Wythe was Jefferson’s beloved mentor and an enormously distinguished figure of
the era. A member of the Second Continental Congress and signer of the Declaration of
Independence, Wythe had begun his career in public service as a member and later clerk
in the Virginia House of Burgesses. A distinguished lawyer and legal scholar, he would
later serve on the Virginia bench and, as a member of the Constitutional Convention,
became one of the architects of the federal Constitution, championing its ratification in
his home state.
Wythe’s students at William & Mary attended lectures twice a week where they
might discuss the common law, American constitutional law, or the work of political
theorists or classical authors. Wythe honed students’ advocacy skills through moot court
arguments and also convened mock legislatures where students gained rich experience
writing, debating, and revising legislation, taking as their model legislation pending
before the General Assembly.
33
Among those first students was John Marshall, who went on to become the
fourth chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court and whose 34-year tenure, left a profound
mark on the high court and the country. Statues of Wythe & Marshall stand at the Law
School’s entrance commemorating the founding of the nation’s first law school at
William & Mary.
Autobiography of Thomas Jefferson
“On the 1st of June 1779. I was appointed Governor of the Commonwealth and retired
from the legislature. Being elected also one of the Visitors of Wm. & Mary college, a
self-electing body, I effected, during my residence in Williamsburg that year, a change
in the organization of that institution by abolishing the Grammar school, and the two
professorships of Divinity & Oriental languages, and substituting a professorship of Law
& Police, one of Anatomy Medicine and Chemistry, and one of Modern languages; and
the charter confining us to six professorships, we added the law of Nature & Nations,
& the Fine Arts to the duties of the Moral professor, and Natural history to those of the
professor of Mathematics and Natural philosophy” Autobiography of Thomas Jefferson,
1743-1790: By Thomas Jefferson, Paul Leicester Ford, George Haven Putnam.
Natural Born Presidents
Every President Other Than Chester Arthur Was Born In The U.S. Of Citizen
Parents, Or Was Eligible Under The Grandfather Clause In Article 2, Section 1. Chester
Arthur's father, William, did not naturalize until 1843, fourteen years after Chester was
born. (Naturalization certificate for William Arthur, 1843; Library of Congress, Chester
Arthur Papers.) (App. Pg. 163.) Therefore, Chester Arthur was, at birth, a British subject.
34
On Nov 3, 1884, President Arthur's Fourth Annual Message to Congress included the
following cryptic statement:
"An uniform rule of naturalization such as the Constitution contemplates should,among
other things, clearly define the status of persons born within the United States subject to
a foreign power (section 1992) and of minor children of fathers who have declared their
intention to become citizens but have failed to perfect their naturalization. A just and
uniform law in this respect would strengthen the hands of the Government in protecting
its citizens abroad and would pave the way for the conclusion of treaties of naturalization
with foreign countries."
President Chester Arthur, Fourth Annual Message to Congress, Dec. 1, 1894., pg.
8. (App. Pg. 173. ) The statement is rich with context. President Arthur indicated that
persons born in the U.S., subject to a foreign power, required naturalization. Additionally,
he calls for the status of such persons to be clarified. Which class of persons subject to
a foreign power does he refer to? Certainly not ambassadors and ministers, since their
status has always been clear. And only four weeks earlier, in Nov. 1884, the status of
Indians was declared in Elk v. Wilkins, so he's not making reference to them. That leaves
the third class of persons discussed on page 73 of The Slaughter-House Cases, "citizens
or subjects of foreign States born within the United States".
Since Justice Gray cited to that exact page as precedent, just four weeks earlier,
in the Supreme Court's opinion in Elk v. Wilkins, President Arthur, having been born to
an alien father, had good reason to be alarmed. Justice Gray, at that time (Nov. 1884),
certainly appeared to have adopted the opinion stated in the Slaughter-House Cases, that
35
children of aliens, born in the country, were not subject to the jurisdiction of the United
States:
"The main object of the opening sentence of the fourteenth amendment was to settle
the question, upon which there had been a difference of opinion throughout the country
and in this court . . . and to put it beyond doubt that all persons . . born or naturalized in
the United States, and owing no allegiance to any alien power, should be citizens of the
United States and of the state in which they reside. The Slaughter-House Cases, 16 Wall.
36, 73;”
Note that Justice Gray cited to pg. 73 of The Slaughter-House Cases, and the
statement bears repeating:
"The phrase, 'subject to its jurisdiction' was intended to exclude from its operation
children of ministers, consuls, and citizens or subjects of foreign States born within the
United States." The Slaughter-House Cases, 83 U.S. 36, 73(1872).
Furthermore, Justice Gray, at this point in time, treated the 14th Amendment’s
citizenship clause requirement, “subject to the jurisdiction thereof”, as synonymous
with “owing no allegiance to any alien power”. Chester Arthur’s Message makes clear he
believed that persons born to aliens in the U.S. required naturalization. And since those
who require naturalization are not natural-born, Chester Arthur’s statement appears to be
a veiled admission that he was not eligible to be President.
HISTORY
Mr. Obama’s grade school papers (exhibit #7), shown on CBS’s Inside Edition,
list his name as Barry Soetoro, his nationality as Indonesian and his religion as islam.
36
This confirms that, as a child, Mr. Obama was adopted by his step father Lolo Soetoro, as
Obama’s step sister, Maya Soetoro has claimed. Barack Obama: School Life in Indonesia
- Tuesday, 05/06/08: http://www.insideedition.com/videos/132/barack-obama-school-life-
in-indonesia.aspx
According to the Attorney’s Registration and Disciplinary Commission of
the Supreme Court of Illinois (ARDC), when Mr. Obama filled out his Illinois Bar
Application on December 17, 1991, he failed to list his full former name of Barry Soetoro
(exhibit #8). There is no record of Mr. Soetoro changing his name back to Mr. Obama
and this in itself, deserves investigating.
The Kenyan Parliament is even on record in the Kenyan Hansard minutes, stating
that Mr. Obama is a “Son of the soil of that country” and that he is “not even a native
American”. Wouldn’t it be extremely easy for our government to contact the Kenyan
Parliament and ask them why they are claiming this? Why is it so hard for someone to
believe that the Kenyan might just be telling the truth? There’s even a birth certificate
from Nairobi that says Obama was born at the King George VI Hospital (exhibit 9),
which just so happened to become the World’s Central location for AIDS research and
was given millions and millions of dollars, under the Obama administration, I’d like to
know how and why this hospital was chosen and can’t believe it was just a coincidence!
All other facts, combined with Arizona’s Sheriff Arpaio’s investigation, which is
the only official police investigation in the whole country investigating the forged birth
certificate, without a doubt shows that the Obama’s eligibility issue, definitely needs
more investigating and any vote for him, should be blocked until this issue is resolved.
37
CONCLUSION - RELIEF SOUGHT
We ask the honorable court to review our petition under Election Law Title 12
Subtitle 2-203 Procedure: 1, The proceeding shall be heard and decided without a jury
and as expeditiously as the circumstances require before the April 3, 2012 primary.
We respectfully request the following judgement:
1. Law 8-502 be invalidated, so not to infringe upon the rights of the people.
2. Law 5-302 be followed, to restore faith and the rule of law in our election system.
3. That all candidates be required to sign under oath that they fill the requirements.
4. The members of the General Assembly that voted for this 8-502 law be censured and
removed from office and prevented from running for office in the future, because they
have failed to follow the U.S.Constitution, the Maryland Constitution, Article 1 Sec 7 and
their own oath of office. Article 1 Sec 9.
5. A new election be held in November 2012 to elect new members of the General
Assembly, the Governor and Attorney General.
6. The Secretary of State be instructed to follow 5-302 starting with this election.
For the reasons stated above, we feel we have proven that there is no other choice,
but to remove Mr. Obama from all Maryland ballots forthcoming, because he does
not meet the requirements of a Natural Born citizen under Article 2, Section 1 of the
Constitution. Leaving Mr. Obama’s name on the ballot is not only unconstitutional, but
also violates all American’s 14th amendment rights, by not enforcing a law that abridges
38
the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States, not to mention our right to
fair elections by qualified candidates, that are free of fraud. Any Maryland law that is
contrary to the Constitution is notwithstanding according to the Constitution itself.
If this constitutional error is not corrected and is allowed to stand, it will set
precedent that all one needs, is to be born here, to run for the office of President, which
is 100% contrary to the Founder’s intent. If this unconstitutional change to the definition
of Natural Born Citizen is allowed to persist, it won’t be long until a person born to
foreigners, with full allegiance to another country, can become president of the United
States, completely voiding the U.S. Constitution. That will be the end of America, if this
unconstitutional President doesn’t ruin it first.
VERIFICATION
We solemnly affirm under penalties of perjury that the contents of the foregoing
Complaint are true to the best of our knowledge, information and belief.
