Letter from Scott Rille to Chief Justice John Roberts and to the Associate Justices of the Supreme Court

of the United States SCOTUS April 16, 2012. April 16, 2012

John G. Roberts, Jr., Chief Justice of the United States SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES 1 First Street, NE Washington, DC 20543 Honorable Chief Justice Roberts: I am writing to express my sincere concern for the survival of our Constitutional Republic and LIBERTY of all Americans. I wish to share with you the following document I have composed: CONSTITUTIONAL FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSION OF LAW THE CONSTITUTION: The Congress shall have Power . . . To define and punish Piracies and Felonies committed on the high Seas, and Offenses against the Law of Nations; . . . United States Constitution, Article I, Section 8. FINDING OF FACT: 1. Our Founding Fathers and Constitutional Framers wisely, deliberately and irrefutably included The Law of Nations as an integral part of the Constitution of the United States of America. THE LAW OF NATIONS: 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. The Law of Nations, Chapter XIX, Emer de Vattel (1714-1767), First French Edition 1758, First English Edition 1760. (Please see photo images of The Law of Nations, address given by Abraham Lincoln, and 1775 Letter written by Dr. Benjamin Franklin below.) Page 1 of 8

FINDINGS OF FACT: 2. At The Law of Nations, Chapter XIX is found the only Constitutionally-valid and authoritative definition of natural-born citizens. Our Founding Fathers and Constitutional Framers DID NOT leave this most fundamental and critical to the survival of our Constitutional Republic natural born Citizen clause undefined. 3. To qualify as natural-born citizens, persons must be: a. born in the country, and b. of parents who are citizens. THE CONSTITUTION: 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; ... United States Constitution, Article II, Section 1. CONCLUSION OF LAW: To qualify as a natural born Citizen and to be eligible to the Office of President of the United States, in addition to being born in the country (including United States Territories), both parents of every candidate seeking the Office of President of the United States must be citizens of the United States (of parents who are citizens). No exceptions. Failure to meet these two (2) eligibility requirements renders any Presidential candidate ineligible to campaign for, and to hold, the Office of President of the United States of America. ____________________________ I am a 72 year-old Vietnam-era Veteran and AMERICAN PATRIOT. I am respectfully and proudly standing shoulder-to-shoulder with our Founding Fathers and brave men and women in uniform, past and present, in defense of our Constitution, Constitutional Republic and LIBERTY. In reference to Rules of the Supreme Court, Rule 37(1), I sincerely suspect that I am, herein, bringing to the attention of the Court relevant matter not already brought to its attention by the parties and should be of considerable help to the Court. I believe, pursuant to the Constitutional evidence I have presented above, that it makes absolutely no difference whatsoever whether Barack Hussein Obama, II was, or was not, born in the United States of America, he is Constitutionally ineligible to hold the Office of President of the United States of America. I believe our Founding Fathers and Constitutional Framers, contrary to popular false belief, did, in fact, provide the American People, the Congress, the Courts and the Governments of America the Constitutional, legal and authoritative definition of natural born Citizen through their 2-step Constitutional process. I believe for the Congress to be able to exercise the authority and Power the Framers conferred upon it at United States Constitution, Article I, Section 8 (to wit, specifically the Law of Nations clause), it must thoroughly understand and fully Page 2 of 8

support the controlling nature of The Law of Nations, including Emer de Vattels definition of natural-born citizens for all nations on planet earth, found at Chapter XIX. I believe , by including The Law of Nations as an integral part of the Constitution at Article I, Section 8 and the 1775 Letter written by Dr. Benjamin Franklin, included below and here quoted in part, 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 (after depositing one in our own public library here, and sending the other to the College of Massachusetts Bay, as you directed,) has been continually in the hands of the members of our Congress, now sitting, who are pleased with your notes and preface, and have entertained a high and just esteem for their author. , the Framers of our Constitution clearly and
irrefutably indicated they were thoroughly knowledgeable of the precepts set forth by Vattel in his scholarly masterpiece The Law of Nations, including his definition of natural-born citizens. In addition, when John Jay, American politician, statesman, revolutionary, diplomat, Founding Father of the United States, President of the Continental Congress (December 10, 1778 - September 28, 1779), and first Chief Justice of the United States, on July 25, 1787 wrote the following letter to George Washington, presiding officer 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. , I believe John Jay penned these
words of wisdom precisely because he was, in fact, thoroughly knowledgeable and in complete agreement with Vattels definition of natural-born citizens. I believe, when the issue of presidential eligibility qualifications was raised during the Constitutional Convention and this clause natural born Citizen was introduced by the drafting Committee of Eleven, and then adopted without discussion, debate or opposition by the Convention as a whole, No Person except a natural born Citizen, at United States Constitution, Article II, Section 1, a special, distinct and limited class of Person and Citizen was created, the Framers were totally in agreement with Vattels definition of natural-born citizens and deliberately intended 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. (Please reference John Jays letter above.)

I believe when the Framers included Offenses against the Law of Nations among the other powers they conferred on Congress, at United States Constitution, Article I, section 8, they purposely intended Vattels definition of natural-born citizens to be, in fact and in verity, the Constitutional, legal and authoritative definition of natural born Citizen , found at United States Constitution, Article II, Section 1. Page 3 of 8

I believe the Constitutional, legal and authoritative definition of natural born Citizen irrefutably requires that both parents of every person who campaigns for, and holds, the Office of President of the United States must be American citizens, no exceptions (of parents who are citizens). It is an irrefutable and wellestablished fact that Barack Hussein Obama, IIs father, Barack Hussein Obama, Senior, was not an American citizen. I sincerely believe Harvard Law School graduate, believed by many to be the most prestigious law school in the United States, past editor of the Harvard Law Review, university Constitutional Law professor, and Constitutional attorney Barack Obama fails to meet all of the Constitutional presidential eligibility requirements found at The Law of Nations, Chapter XIX and United States Constitution, Article II, Section 1, and that he is clearly and irrefutably not a natural born Citizen . I sincerely believe Mr. Obama is fully aware he is committing Offenses against the Law of Nations, knowingly and willfully violating United States Constitution, Article I, Section 8, Clause the Law of Nations, and United States Constitution, Article II, Section 1, Clause No Person except a natural born Citizen, and he must immediately resign, or be legally removed from the Office of the President and the White House, pursuant to United States Constitution, Article I, Section 8, The Law of Nations, Chapter XIX, and United States Constitution, Article II, Section 1. I sincerely believe this vitally important issue regarding Mr. Obamas presidential eligibility is the most important issue ever taken under consideration by the Supreme Court of the United States in its 224-year history. I sincerely believe the Honorable Justices of the Supreme Court would perform a vital and invaluable service to the Citizens of the United States, including themselves, the Constitution of the United States of America, the survival of our Constitutional Republic, and our priceless LIBERTY by finding and declaring Barack Obama ineligible to hold the Office of President of the United States of America. I sincerely believe an UN-Constitutionally and illegally-elected and inaugurated president and the Constitution cannot co-exist. Please, in the interest of Justice and love of LIBERTY, restore our Constitution to its rightful position of Supreme Law of the Land (United States Constitution, Article VI). Our Nation will be eternally grateful when you do so. I sincerely hope and pray the Honorable Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States will honor and keep their solemn Oaths to support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America, defend our Constitutional Republic, and defend our priceless LIBERTY. The courtesy of your reply is appreciated. Respectfully submitted. Page 4 of 8

Natural born citizen of the United States

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_born_citizen_of_the_United_States

There is no record of a debate on the "natural born Citizen" qualification during the Constitutional Convention. This clause was introduced by the drafting Committee of Eleven, and then adopted without discussion by the Convention as a whole. One possible source of the clause can be traced to a July 25, 1787 letter from John Jay to George Washington, presiding officer of the Convention. Jay wrote: 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. John Jay (December 12, 1745 May 17, 1829) was an American politician, statesman, revolutionary, diplomat, a Founding Father of the United States, and the first Chief Justice of the United States (178995). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Jay

Let reverence for the laws be breathed by every American mother. Let it be taught in schools, in seminaries, and in colleges. Let it be written in primers, [in] spelling books and in almanacs. Let it be preached from the pulpit, proclaimed in legislative halls, and enforced in the courts of justice. In short, let reverence for the law become the political religion of the nation. . . Shall we expect some transatlantic military giant, to step over the ocean, and crush us at a blow? Never! - All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest; with a Bonaparte for a commander, could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a Thousand years. At what point, then, is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide. - Abraham Lincoln, The Perpetuation of Our Political Institutions

There can be no doubt whatsoever our Founding Fathers and Constitutional Framers relied heavily on Vattels THE LAW OF NATIONS while struggling with the weighty matter of creating our Constitution and Constitutional Republic:
