Excerpt:
Learning who is and is not constitutionally qualified to be a presidential candidate should be as easy as reciting the alphabet, counting to ten or learning to tie your shoe laces. There are only three job requirements
We already know Republican candidate Mitt Romney meets Article II requirements (see http://tinyurl.com/bh3twhx) and of course, four years later we know Mr. Obama is not a natural born Citizen due to the citizenship status of his parents at the time of his birth. But what about the top four Third Party candidates?We teamed up with Cmdr. Charles Kerchner (Ret.), a 25+ year geneaology expert, to learn if these other Third Party candidates met Article II requirements. We quickly learned that one is qualified, two are “Likely” qualified with the remaining candidate falling into the “Unknown” category.Here is what we learned -
ROCKY ANDERSON – JUSTICE PARTY
35 years of age Yes, born September 9, 1951
14 year residency Yes, Prior to his serving as Mayor of Salt Lake City for two terms he was a practicing attorney for 21 years in the area.
Natural born citizen Yes, He was born in Logan, Utah to Roy and Grace Anderson both American citizens (see 1940 census)
VIRGIL GOODE – CONSTITUTIONAL PARTY
35 years of age Yes, born October 17, 1946
14 year residency Yes, He served in the Virginia State Legislature and then Congress between 1997 – 2009 and then practiced law in his hometown of Rocky Mount, Virginia.
Natural born citizen Likely. Goode was born in Richmond, Virginia to Alice Clara (nee Besecker) and Virgil Hamlin Goode both American citizens. We are waiting on confirmation of his mother’s citizenship which we ar 99.9% confident she was an American citizen.
GARY JOHNSON – LIBERTARIAN PARTY
35 years of age Yes. Johnson was born January 1, 1953
14 year residency Yes. Johnson served as Governor of New Mexico between 1995 – 2002 and in 2009 launched a non-profit titled “Our America Initiative”
Natural born citizen Likely. Johnson was born in Minot, North Dakota to Lorraine B. (nee Bestow) and Earl W. Johnson. According to the 1920 census Earl Johnson was adopted. There are two different opinions on adoption, that is one argues Johnson would be ineligible while the other argues he would if his adoptive parents held American citizenship. We are working to confirm Johnson’s father’s citizenship.
Jill Stein – Green Party
35 years of age Yes. Stein was born May 14, 1951
14 year residency Yes. Stein launched her political career in 1998 by serving on various health related nonprofit boards in Boston, Mass. Stein then began in earnest to build her political resume in 2002 by first running for Governor, then House of Representatives (2004) and finally the Secretary of the Commonwealth (2006) in Massachusetts. She won election to serve as a Town Representative on the Lexington, Massachusetts Town Board serving between 2005 -2008 before running for Governor again in 2010 and President in 2012.
Natural born citizen Unknown. Stein does not provide any information in any of her bio’s about who her parents are. She tells us she was born in Chicago, Illinois. The only biographical information found is from an interview conducted by Forbes magazine tax writer Peter J. Reilly who refers to her biographical details as “thin.” Click (on link in article) ... to read Reilly’s interview and ... (on link in article) to watch Stein tell his audience who her grandparents were but nothing about her own immediate familial situation.
