The illegal immigration debate is underway and as usual the politicians are talking about the 14^th Amendment, American citizens and citizens of the United States.   The 14^th Amendment is clear: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.”   

Senators are seriously talking about amending the 14^th Amendment, so the children of illegal aliens will not be American citizens at birth.  These Senators should read the 14^th Amendment as many times as it takes to sink in—the Amendment is about citizens of the United States not American citizens.

The United States is a place where very few illegal aliens give birth.

September 24, 1789.
1 Stat. 73.

CHAP. XX.–An Act to establish the Judicial Courts of the United States.

SEC . 2. And be it further enacted, That the United States shall be, and they hereby are divided into thirteen districts, to be limited and called as follows, to wit: one to consist of that part of the State of Massachusetts which lies easterly of the State of New Hampshire, and to be called Maine District; one to consist of the State of New Hampshire, and to be called New Hampshire District; one to consist of the remaining part of the State of Massachusetts, and to be called Massachusetts district; one to consist of the State of Connecticut, and to be called Connecticut District; one to consist of the State of New York, and to be called New York District; one to consist of the State of New Jersey, and to be called New Jersey District; one to consist of the State of Pennsylvania, and to be called Pennsylvania District; one to consist of the State of Delaware, and to be called Delaware District; one to consist of the State of Maryland, and to be called Maryland District; one to consist of the State of Virginia, except that part called the District of Kentucky, and to be called Virginia District; one to consist of the remaining part of the State of Virginia, and to be called Kentucky District; one to consist of the State of South Carolina, and to be called South Carolina District; and one to consist of the State of Georgia, and to be called Georgia District.

 Section 2 of the Judiciary Act of 1789 is one of the early products of the Constitution of the United States, which proves the United States is the land in the United States of America owned by the Confederacy known as the United States of America.  Long before the Fourteenth Amendment claimed a person could be born in the United States and not just in one of the States of the United States, the Judiciary Act of 1789 had established two judicial districts in places that were not yet States of the United States of America.

 The judicial districts of Maine and Kentucky were on September 24, 1789 comprised of the same territory such districts are comprised of today—territory owned by and ceded to the United States of America.  By ratifying the Constitution of September 17, 1787, the States of Massachusetts and Virginia had decided to make Maine and Kentucky part of the United States.     

 Section 2 speaks with absolute clarity: “That the United States shall be, and they hereby are divided into thirteen districts, to be limited and called as follows.”  The “United States” as territory has always been limited to territory owned by and ceded to the United States of America.

 If you have had it with being a citizen of the United States, try something better.   The Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777 offers all the privileges and immunities of citizenship without the hardship.  To learn how you can be a free inhabitant under the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777 contact me at edrivera@edrivera.com

The Fourteenth Amendment was intended to confer citizenship on former black slaves, however, the language of the amendment has been used to create a new type of citizenship unrelated to allegiance to one of the States of the United States of America.

Article IV Section 2 Clause 1 of the Constitution: “The Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all Privileges and Immunities of Citizens in the several States,” requires equality of State citizenship.  The several States are the States of the United States, as the Constitution was written, as if it replaced the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777, which did not occur.

The Fourteenth Amendment citizen does not owe allegiance.   The Fourteenth Amendment citizen is subject  to the jurisdiction of the United States, meaning that person remains on land owned by the United States of America.

The State of Arizona will lose, because the States are required by Article IV of the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777 to recognize in qualified free inhabitants all privileges and immunities enjoyed by citizens in the several States.

The local Representative of the United States House of Representatives is required to know the law in the United States Code.  Fortunately, to be free you just have to know the contents of volume 1.

George Washington was able to extend the republican form of government established for the Northwest Territory by pretending to be bound by a newly written constitution.   The Constitution of September 17, 1787 binds the States that ratified it into existence, but without written subscribed oaths “to support this Constitution” that Constitution remains to this day, “just a piece of paper.”   By taking an oral oath to be President of the United States, Washington was binding himself only as an employee of the Confederacy, the United States of America.  By taking control of the government in this way, Washington temporarily prevented the British from attempting to re-take America, in so doing he created a federal government that could only grow, if the people are kept ignorant of its territorial limitations.    

There can be no doubt that the power of the present federal government has gone far beyond the tyranny of the British that brought on a hostile American rebellion against English colonial rule.   Americans are supposed to be free yet a Democrat President of the United States and Congress are embarking upon a socialist inspired cradle to grave welfare legislation scheme.   Blame it on the British.

The excesses of the Democrat Health Care Reform Bill may finally eradicate the last vestiges of British rule in America by significantly exposing the fraud that has allowed federal taxation and legislative power to be applied outside the federal government and way beyond the territory owned by the United States of America.  Presidents and Congresses of the United States since George Washington and the First Congress have been using the proprietary and territorial powers relinquished by King George III to make laws for the United States.  Their dirty little secret?  Those United States were first the property and territory of the United States of America, the Northwest Territory, made up of the States of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and part of Minnesota.  

The British Parliament ruled the American colonies with regal power because that was the source of its legislative and taxation power.  Over the centuries the English monarchy lost to Parliament the power to tax and legislate. What remained of royal English government power was exercised by the English King George III, who was the source of executive  government power in the thirteen  American colonies prior to the Declaration of Independence of July 4, 1776.   After the Declaration of Independence, English monarchical power steadily declined, until, in the Treaty of Paris of September 3, 1783, King George III relinquished his governmental, proprietary and territorial power to the United States of America Confederacy.

By the time of the Treaty of Paris, the British government  power in America was no more and all the former colonies were operating independently as free and independent  States.  None of the British government powers survived the American Revolution and even if they had no person could hold the title necessary to discharge them.  Article VI of the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777, which had been fully ratified on March 1, 1781, when Maryland became the thirteenth State to ratify the Articles, prohibited the granting of titles of nobility by the United States in congress assembled or by the individual States.  

The proprietary and territorial powers were attached to substantial British land claims over the Northwest Territory, which would become the States of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and part of Minnesota.   Using the proprietary and territorial powers relinquished by King George III, the United States in Congress assembled made the resolution of April 23, 1784 and then repealed it with the Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787.          

George Washington was elected to the Article II Section 1 Office of President of the United States of America, unanimously, by the Presidential Electors on February 4, 1789.   The office of President of the United States of America, which was an Article IX office in the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777, was modified by the Constitutional Convention of May 25, 1787 in Article II of the Constitution of September 17, 1787.  Since the Confederacy was a perpetual Union of independent States, the Articles of Confederation were only binding on those States, therefore, no oaths of office were appropriate or even possible.

Washington took the oral oath of office of President of the United States on April 30, 1789, in order to mislead all Americans that his oath was “to support this Constitution,” the Constitution of September 17, 1787.  Legally, all George Washington had done was to bind himself as employee of the Confederacy.  His election to the office of President of the United States of America bound him to the Declaration of Independence of July 4, 1776, the Articles of Confederation and the Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787 because no oaths were required to make them the Organic Law of the United States of America.  Of the four Organic Laws, only the Constitution of September 17, 1787 requires a written subscribed oath to make it binding on an individual.

The Democrat members of Congress who voted to enact Health Care Reform legislation have all taken a written and subscribed oath required by statute in addition to a ceremonial oral oath of office.  Their office, U.S. Representative, is a statutory office not a constitutional one.  Like the President of the United States, U.S. Representatives have authority limited to the territory owned by the United States of America.   Since the ratification of the Fourteenth Amendment, the States of the Confederacy have encouraged the expansion of the government of the United States by freely recognizing the right of inhabitants to become U.S. citizens, while failing to recognize the right Inhabitants have to all the privileges and immunities of citizens without being citizens.

The narrow passage of the Democrat Health Care Reform Bill should confirm everything I have written in these Posts.   Where, but federal territory could such so-called reform take place?  If you are opposed to what government is doing, voting for the opposition candidate will never provide a solution to bad government.  The federal government was planned for a place where the Constitution of September 17, 1787 would always be just a piece of paper.  Written law is limited to a defined place and the Basic Course in Law and Government is the only source of legal training that will teach you how to define your own private space as free from government intrusion.  To enroll as one of my Students, contact me at edrivera@edrivera.com

If you have a note and mortgage or trust deed and lien on your home, there is a 50% chance that you are “upside down” or “underwater” with respect to your equity in your home.

Half of you owe more than your house is worth, yet you will still be expected to pay property taxes.  If the prospect of paying property taxes for steadily deteriorating public services, weren’t enough to cause you to give up completely there is the looming prospect of an increase in the interest rate you must pay on your home loan.

Do not despair.  The end of this world approaches and a better new one is coming.  

The literal world is coming to an end and a world that does not depend on the written word will replace it.

Long before the second section of the Fourteenth Amendment was claimed to have amended Article I Section 2 Clause 3, that section and clause of the Constitution of September 17, 1787 was the fallback source of a State’s power to make laws and impose direct taxes on property located within each of the States that had ratified this Constitution.  Your State imposes property taxes on the land you own and the home on that land which are the improvements to that land based on a statement in that State’s constitution that all property with certain exceptions is taxable.  That statement in the constitution is based on the Constitution of the United States and nothing else.

Article I Section 2 Clause 3 is authority to impose direct taxes on property other than real property:

Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound t to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons.  

The States of the second more perfect Union are comprised of territory owned by and ceded to the United States of America.  These States cannot, according to Article IV of the Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787, impose taxes “on lands the property of the United States.”

You can confirm that your State has no authority to impose a property tax on your land and any improvements to that land by asking the property tax assessor and property tax collector in “your” county for proof of their authority to assess and to collect taxes.

When gold and silver was the coin of the realm, tax collectors had to be bonded, so that the government was protected from an absconding collector.  Property tax collectors are not required to be bonded, because property taxes are paid voluntarily with fiat currency.  Sure, a property tax bill is sent out, but that was done at your request.  Somewhere on the deed to your property will appear the request to send the property tax bill to you.

What keeps you from being an Indian not subject to taxation?  Most of you were probably born on what used to be Indian lands, so you can qualify to be Native Americans, if only you can lose your Fourteenth Amendment citizenship.

The Constitution of September 17, 1787 attempts to set up an official federal Union comprised of the States of the Northwest Territory, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and part of Minnesota.  Before it could do that the secret Constitutional Convention had to create a federal Union within the original thirteen States.  That Union was set up in Article I Section 2 Clause 3: 

Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons.

The State of California was admitted into the second Union of the United States as the 31^st State on September 9, 1850.   As very State must have a constitution approved by Congress, the State of California had the Constitution of 1849, which is still law in the State of California to the extent it is not contrary to the Constitution of 1879.  The second constitution was necessary in order for the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution of the United States to be adopted by the people of California.

State constitutions mimic the Constitution of the United States in that the territory the constitution applies to is the same¾territory owned by and ceded to the United States of America.  The State of California specifically states this in Article 3 Section 1: “The State of California is an inseparable part of the United States of America, and the United States Constitution is the supreme law of the land.” 

The first Constitution of the United States of America is unwritten and reference to it is found in the Declaration of Independence, which declares the American people to be free and endowed with unalienable Rights.  The Constitution of the State of California In Article 1 Sections 1 and 2 repeats this message, so it too can confuse the reader.  These free people are not those who are United States citizens residing in the State of California. 

The balance of the 1879 Constitution of the State of California will have nothing to do with the people who have and properly claim their unalienable rights.  The people of the State of California are going to become United States citizens subject to the jurisdiction of the United States and the State of California.  People in California become United States citizens primarily by registering to vote, working for corporations incorporated in the United States and which claim to be located within the United States.

Every State Constitution will repeat the same theme.  All people are free and have unalienable until they become United States citizens and subject to the jurisdiction of the United States.

The people Glen Beck and Lou Dobbs call illegal immigrants can’t be written out of President of the United States Barack Obama’s health care program, because to do so would also write out everyone who can’t show a naturalization certificate or a birth certificate for the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico or a similar territory owned by and ceded to the United States of America.  The citizens of the island possessions, the United States, can readily establish U.S. citizenship.  The best the native born in the three most populous cities in America can do is produce a certificate of birth in the State of New York, the State of California or the State of Illinois.  These birth certificates establish a live birth in the State of New York, the State of California or the State of Illinois, which is federal territory in each respective State. 

The State of New York, the State of California and the State of Illinois along with the other 47 States are the States of the second Union, the United States.  The States of the first and perpetual Union, the United States of America, were organized into the Confederacy under the Articles of Confederation.  There are no citizens of the United States of America, because the United States of America is a Confederacy of sovereign, free and independent States, which cannot command allegiance from individual citizens.  

Citizens of the United States are defined by the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.”   Fourteenth Amendment citizenship of the United States was created for the newly freed slaves, who, of course, had no citizenship or claims to the privileges and immunities of citizens, as inhabitants, under the authority of the Articles of Confederation.  

Prior to the Fourteenth Amendment, the Congress and President of the United States had “governed” the territory owned by and ceded to the United States of America using the proprietary power of the United States of America over territory it owned.  The jurisdiction of this territory had been ceded to the United States of America by the States, Great Britain, France and others giving the impression that Congress and the President of the United States governed, though it was admitted the President of the United States administered the United States.  After the Fourteenth Amendment, the Thirteenth Amendment and the Fifteenth Amendment, Congress was able to use the legislative power conferred by those Amendments to create the democracy subject to military law consented to by those, who register to vote in federal elections.       

Prior to the Civil War and the Fourteenth Amendment, the reference to “a Citizen of the United States” in the Constitution of September 17, 1787 had been to a Citizen of one of the States that had ratified this Constitution.  The Fourteenth Amendment has the effect of creating a new State with the President of the United States as its military and civil head of state.  The United States as technical military victor in the Civil War continues the military government established by George Washington, when on April 30, 1789, he took the oral oath to the Office of President of the United States.  

George Washington’s take over of the civil government was a direct cause of the Civil War.  Sadly, the South’s defense of slavery had become the symbol of an American individual’s freedom to own private property.  Rather than recognize the authority of the superior common law right of private property ownership in the despicable practise of human slavery in non-federal territory, Abraham Lincoln and the Northern States chose to continue to enforce Washington’s military government.  Instead of recognizing the dominance of the common law, Lincoln chose to fight and that fight cost 625,000 American lives. 

The claim is often made that Abraham Lincoln was the most intelligent of all the Presidents, so he should have known that the Constitution of September 17, 1787 was never adopted by any Congress and President of the United States.  Had Lincoln admitted the true condition of the Constitution of September 17, 1787 he could have avoided the death and destruction of the Civil War.   Similarly, today, Barack Obama, a supposedly brilliant constitutional scholar, should know the legislative reach of Congress is limited in time and to the territory owned by and any ceded to the United States of America. 

We need Barack Obama to admit federal legislation and United States citizenship is limited to federal territory.

Unlike Barack Obama, George Washington, apparently, was never caught telling a lie during his lifetime.  His remains are buried at Mount Vernon.  Parson Weems popularized the idea that George Washington couldn’t tell a lie.  It would have been better if Washington had been caught telling some out and out lies.  We would be saved from the infallibility of the Founding Father.

Washington’s sin was his amazing ability to practically mislead everyone in the country.  As hero of the American Revolution and the first President of the United States, the American people believed he was leading them to a total fulfillment of the self-evident truths of the Declaration of Independence.  Boy, were they wrong.

Thanks to George Washington there can be no accurate definition or proof of a citizen of the United States.  No wonder Congressman Joe Wilson lost his cool.

Barack Hussein Obama could have returned the country back to the way the Constitution of September 17, 1787 should have been, by taking and subscribing an Article VI oath “to support this Constitution.”  On January 20, 2009 he didn’t do that, so instead of shrinking the government back to the size it should be, he’s making it bigger and worse.

George Washington and the Freemasons wrote the Constitution of September 17, 1787, in secret, so that Washington could take  the oral oath of Office of President of the United States and not be bound to a written Constitution.  Technically, neither George Washington nor anyone else can qualify for the Office of President until the United States of America of the Declaration of Independence is 14 years This Constitution is written so that it will be ratified by the States, but it will be left un-adopted, when Washington refuses to take the correct oath at the beginning of his second term.

The Constitution of September 17, 1787 is written so only the Congress of the United States will prevail no matter who is the President Elect. 

Only the two named Officers of Congress can choose to be Citizens of the States of the United States of America or Citizens of the new United States under George Washington:   

No Person shall be a Representative who shall not have attained to the Age of twenty five Years, and been seven Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State in which he shall be chosen. Article I Section 2 Clause 2

No Person shall be a Senator who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty Years, and been nine Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State for which he shall be chosen.  Article I Section 3 Clause 3

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; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.  Article II Section 1 Clause 5
