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.

Correct me if I am wrong but, modification to the US Constitution
requires an amendment not a redefinition of a term.

Gosharoonie, that means that Obama, even if he were born in Kenya of a
mom who was a U.S. citizen is...a natural born citizen...

I'd like to challenge that law. And, I have legal standing to do so.

There is a Constitutional requirement to be a natural born

There is, eh? Got cites?


Article II, Section 1.

Wrong, Palin-breath. There's not a word in there about providing
proof.

Further, there are questions over the term "natural born." George
Romney, for example, sought his party's nomination in 1968. He was
a citizen of the United States born abroad (in Mexico). Lowell
Weicker, a U.S. Senator from my home state, made a brief run for
the nomination in 1980. He was a born abroad, too.

What's your point? Article II, Section 1 states the requirement.
Implicit in the requirement is providing proof. You can parse the
words any way you want.


Yeah? Please provide us with a list of those Presidents who have
provided "proof."

The question on the table is where was Obama born? All we want to see
is a copy of his original birth certificate, not a printout from a
database.


No one cares what you want. Try getting used to that, eh?

If no one cares what I want, why do you keep responding to my posts?

You don't have a legal standing to do squat until a final ruling that
you have such standing.

Let us know when you prevail - or even get a preliminary hearing.


Sure I have legal standing. I am a US citizen, a citizen of one of the
several states and a legal voter. How much more standing can I have?
Just because a judge doesn't want to hear the case and issues an opinion
that I don't have standing doesn't mean I don't have standing to
challenge Obama's ability to comply with the provisions of Article II,
Section 1 of the US Constitution.
