on the issue of vaz and sworn allegiance

[Baddaz]

since i dont know all the facts, from what i know, vaz has said that he got his passport from his mother an american citizen...

if a person is born outside of the usa to an american citizen, that person is considered a us citizen by birth...

in vaz's case, it would then appear to make the passport issue moot because vaz would have a natural and assumed inherent allegiance (as any other citizen born in a country) to the usa... his holding and routine utilization of a us passport only serves to affirm this allegiance...

being a dual citizen is not illegal in either the usa or jamaica... therefore, vaz is not doing anything illegal...

however, the constitution of jamaica prohibits allegiance of members of parliament to any country other than jamaica... it appears vaz is in violation of the constitution guidelines and should be disqualified...

how the courts deal with the election result is a separate matter...

So, it appears we both heard the same thing. I guess you won't be accused of spinning. Here is what the constitution says ..

"(2) No person shall be qualified to be appointed as a Senator or elected as a member of the House of Representatives who- is, by virtue of his own act, under any acknowledgment of allegiance, obedience or adherence to a foreign Power or State;"

.. and no this is no spin nor being political.

therefore, vaz is not qualified... virtue of his own act, under any acknowledgment of allegiance...

seems to me vaz is sufficiently intelligent to know that by virtue of holding and routinely using the usa passport, he is acknowledging being a citizen of the usa and all that comes with being a citizen of the usa, including and not limited to allegiance to the usa...

not politics, just facts... wouldnt matter if he was pnp of from mars...

and to further show his disdain for the Jamaican laws this moron then used his US passport to travel even while the case was before the court

[Mosiah]

and while being a Jamaican MP!

If that isn't brazen and rude!

[Baddaz]

worse than that... disrespectful to the people who are real jamaican citizens...

i can just imagine him coming through the airport and going through the section for visitors... how can a visitor represent the people... this guy should just tek weh himself...

assumed inherent allegiance ????

What is that ?

LOL !! WHOEEIEE !

[Muadib]

Are you serious ???

If I am born in the USA have I acknowledged any allegiance to the USA ?

How do I travel without a passport ?

How does acquiring a passport acknowledge ALLEGIANCE ?

LOL !! WHOOEEEII !!

[Muadib]

[Mosiah]

It's like assumed inherent intelligence for Vaz.

What is that ?

LOL !! WHOEEIEE !

[Rockman]

Is Vaz willing to give up his US citizenship?
If not, why?
Didn't Seaga...., and wasn't he born in Merika?

True, and it isn't even being considered.
