MANDAMUS FOR A CONSOLIDATED MULTI-CIRCUIT CERTIFICATION

OF THE QUESTION OF THE POLITICAL OFFICE TERMINOLOGY OF THE
U.S. CONSTITUTIONAL CINC-POTUS ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENT OF
Natural Born Citizen.

Certification of questions to the United States Supreme Court

Rule 19 of the Supreme Court Rules allows for the certification of legal questions to the United
States Supreme Court. The rule provides that "a United States court of appeals may certify to this
Court a question or proposition of law on which it seeks instruction for the proper decision of a
case. The certificate shall contain a statement of the nature of the case and the facts on which the
question or proposition of law arises. Only questions or propositions of law may be certified, and
they shall be stated separately and with precision."[17][18]
Certification of a question of law to the United States Supreme Court is another way, in addition
to the writ of certiorari, direct appeal, and original jurisdiction, by which cases can be brought to
the docket of the Supreme Court. It is a very infrequent procedure, and has happened only five
times over the past six decades.[19]

nominated executive agency heads under color of law and so
called executive agency actions or orders facilitating the mass
amnesty of illegal aliens and their non-14th amendment

About the FOMC

The term "monetary policy" refers to the actions undertaken by a central bank, such as the
Federal Reserve, to influence the availability and cost of money and credit to help promote
national economic goals. The Federal Reserve Act of 1913 gave the Federal Reserve
responsibility for setting monetary policy.
The Federal Reserve controls the three tools of monetary policy--open market operations, the
discount rate, and reserve requirements. The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
is responsible for the discount rate and reserve requirements, and the Federal Open Market
Committee is responsible for open market operations. Using the three tools, the Federal Reserve
influences the demand for, and supply of, balances that depository institutions hold at Federal
Reserve Banks and in this way alters the federal funds rate. The federal funds rate is the interest
rate at which depository institutions lend balances at the Federal Reserve to other depository
institutions overnight.
Changes in the federal funds rate trigger a chain of events that affect other short-term interest
rates, foreign exchange rates, long-term interest rates, the amount of money and credit, and,
ultimately, a range of economic variables, including employment, output, and prices of goods
and services.

Structure of the FOMC

The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) consists of twelve members--the seven members
of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; the president of the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York; and four of the remaining eleven Reserve Bank presidents, who serve oneyear terms on a rotating basis. The rotating seats are filled from the following four groups of

Banks, one Bank president from each group: Boston, Philadelphia, and Richmond; Cleveland
and Chicago; Atlanta, St. Louis, and Dallas; and Minneapolis, Kansas City, and San Francisco.
Nonvoting Reserve Bank presidents attend the meetings of the Committee, participate in the
discussions, and contribute to the Committee's assessment of the economy and policy options.
The FOMC holds eight regularly scheduled meetings per year. At these meetings, the Committee
reviews economic and financial conditions, determines the appropriate stance of monetary
policy, and assesses the risks to its long-run goals of price stability and sustainable economic
growth.
For more detail on the FOMC and monetary policy, see section 2 of the brochure on the structure
of the Federal Reserve System and chapter 2 of Purposes & Functions of the Federal Reserve
System. FOMC Rules and Authorizations are also available online.
