The reason people don't get worked up about these paeans to the Constitutional issue is simple. The facts as they currently lay make it clear to reasonable people that Obama was born in Hawaii. Further, the two-parent NBC stuff is a stillborn fantasy.
Now, if it could actually be proven that Obama was born outside the United States, then maybe you've got something. Maybe the specifics would yield a ruling that Obama is ineligible. But the specifics of that borderline incredible event itself are unlikely to support departure from the de facto officer doctrine.
IOW, the public bought a story and accepted misdirection that place of birth outweighs the father's citizenship because they don't understand what natural born citizen means.
So public means as many people as you want it to mean? A minority of the public have in fact been vocal and exercised all legal means available to them to challenge Obie’s eligibility. If you think because a number of people are ignorant its okay to shun the wishes of those that are not ignorant? Liberalthink and talk come to mind when you espouse convoluted ideas to back up your agenda regardless of the facts. You really are TIRED your same old rationalizing garbage is getting OLD...and you are no CONSERVATIVE. You can roll over while they stick it to you, but as for me I choose freedom.
My interest in the eligibility question is that it has exposed how loose (vulnerable) the process for “fully qualifying” a president-elect is and how there is very little recourse for the people if the standard is not upheld.
There is no need for our system to suffer this potential constitutional jeopardy. Congress could enact a law defining the procedures for “fully qualifying” a president-elect, including a standard and a remedy. If this garbage can be avoided in the future, why not?
