The Commander In Chief Shall Not Be Given To Any But A Natural-Born Citizen ~ John Jay, Chief Justice, U.S. Supreme Court

Permit me to hint, whether it would not 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 command in chief of the American Army shall not be given to nor devolve on, any but a natural-born citizen. ~ John Jay, the first U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice

British school project declares Obama born in Kenya

CHILDREN IN KENYAN SCHOOLS “ABOUT 30 MILES FROM WHERE OBAMA WAS BORN” CELEBRATED HIS ILLEGITIMATE VICTORY IN THE U.S. by Sharon Rondeau

(Jul. 23, 2010) — A “school linking project in both Britain and Kenya”  named “Plan” reportedly lauded the election of Barack Hussein Obama to the U.S. presidency, with the Kenyan children celebrating that he was born in Kogelo, Kenya, Africa. The report, which links
According to Wikipedia, Barack Obama Sr. donated land he owned to build two schools in Kogelo Village which were renamed "Senator Obama Primary and Secondary School," respectively.
back to the organization’s main website, states that “More than 50 schools in Kisumu, Kenya, about 30 miles from where Obama was born and where his grandmother still lives in the village of Kogelo, have linked to British partners as part of the scheme.”
“Plan” is a project which raises money to sponsor children in poor areas of the world.
The area in Kenya boasts two schools named after Barack Obama Jr.  The village reportedly “had no electricity, but it was connected to the power network immediately after the 2008 US presidential election”  as they expected an influx of tourists to the region.
An African newspaper reported that Obama’s father was born in Kogelo Village, but also stated that “According to Luo customs, a child belongs to the father, hence the strong bonds of kinship to the American president-elect in Western Kenya.”
Another article refers to Obama as Kenya’s “son.”
The “Plan” operates “development programmes in 49 of the world’s poorest countries,” including the United States.
A website about the Kisumu region of Kenya states:
Congratulations to Barack Obama,son of Kisumu, for getting elected to the highest and most powerful office in the world,The President of United States of America.  Obama’s father was born in Kisumu, Kenya. It is a pride for Kisumu and whole of Africa.
A Kenyan travel website is offering an “8 Day Barack Obama’s Kenya Roots” tour.
Following the 2008 U.S. presidential election, residents of Kogelo Village celebrated Obama’s putative win.  According to the BBC, “Although they were thousands of miles away from the US, it was still a very personal win for them as they truly consider Mr Obama a son of Kogelo.”
Kenya will be voting on adopting or rejecting a proposed new constitution soon.  An Obama visit to Kenya has reportedly been promised if the new constitution is passed after the August 4 vote.  Obama instructed the U.S. ambassador to Kenya to “support” its passage.  While visiting Kenya in June, putative Vice President Joseph Biden commented that he “wanted the ‘right climate in Kenya and described the proposed constitution as a ’single unique opportunity.’  Obama’s State Department had pledged $2,000,000 in support of the new constitution, which would allow abortion to be legalized for the first time in that country’s history and which has prompted a congressional investigation.
Polls are indicating that the new constitution will pass, but that violence could result.
According to an African online news site, “Obama has been consistent in his push for a new constitution. In June he dispatched Vice-President Joe Biden to Nairobi to encourage President Kibaki and Prime Minister Raila Odinga to soldier on with the Yes campaigns.”
The scheduled vote on the Kenyan constitution is the same day which Obama has stated is his date of birth, as shown in an article from the Los Angeles Times which states that both of John McCain’s parents were U.S. citizens but qualifies Obama as eligible for the presidency based on only one U.S.-citizen parent, for which no proof is provided.
John Jay, the first U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice, wrote in a letter dated July 25, 1787 to George Washington regarding the qualifications of the president:
Permit me to hint, whether it would not 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 command in chief of the American Army shall not be given to nor devolve on, any but a natural-born citizen.
Last fall, plans were announced to erect a cultural center at Obama’s “ancestral home in Kogelo.”  If Obama was born in Hawaii, as he claims, why is there no monument or plans for a cultural center there?  Would that not also have been an “ancestral home”?  Where are his Hawaiian relatives, and where are his Hawaiian roots?
For that matter, where are his American roots?
Why are Biden and Obama so interested in what goes on in Kenya?  Why are they meddling in that country’s political affairs?
