If this unqualified, incompetent, usurper want’s to prove that he is Constitutionally qualified to be President of the United States, he had better hope that that birth certificate does not name Barack Hussein Obama Sr. as the father.
if it does, then Barack Hussein Obama (or whatever is name is) was a subject of the British crown at birth and therefore CANNOT be a Natural Born Citizen of the United States.
The status of a Natural Born Citizen is conferred at the moment of birth - or it is not.
NOTHING occurring later in life can change that status retroactively.
The usurper was not a Natural Born Citizen when he was born and he is not one now. Regardless of where he was born. He could have been born in the White House and it would not have made any difference.
I tend to agree with that point, but that is something that would have to be decided by the Supreme Court — and as you may have noticed, they are very reluctant to touch that issue.
That's not spelled out in the Constitution. It's an obscure legal theory which would require a Supreme Court decision to resolve. It's never come up, and given the precedent of the 2008 election, if it ever does, expect it to turn out the same way: natural born == citizen by birth. Had Obama hidden his parentage, it might be different. But, far from hiding the fact, he wrote passed off as his own work a ghost-written autobiography on the topic and made a nice pile of royalties, which are still rolling in. Indeed, that book and the legend it created is the reason we heard about the guy in the first place.
To hope to oust Obama via the courts is an exercise in futility. Going forward, the best hope would be a new amendment, the primary purpose of which would be solve the anchor baby problem. If such an amendment were properly written, it might also work in an unambiguous definition of natural born
