I think you may be missing the point. If he is elected, he will be
elected by the *people*. Any messing with that is called a coup. The
courts have consistently maintained a hands off approach to this issue,
as they should. I would also point out, this does not only concern
Obama, it also concerns McCain. McCain's "natural born" status is not a
certainty. Let's make it easy on ourselves, let the voters decide.

If you are born of US citizens in a local hospital in France are you a
natural born US citizen?

If you are born of US citizens in a US embassy in France are you a natural
born US citizen?


The 1790 Congress, many of whose members had been members of the
Constitutional Convention, provided in the Naturalization Act of 1790 that
"And the children of citizens of the United States that may be born beyond
the sea, or out of the limits of the United States, shall be considered as
natural born citizens." In addition George Washington was president of the
Constitutional Convention and President of the United States when this bill
became law. If Washington disagreed with this definition, he could have
vetoed this bill.
