Tell me, why did the birthers not make this argument until AFTER Obama was elected? The "two citizen parents" argumet made no appearance on FR until December 8, 2008.
Yet, the whole world was aware that Obama's father was a Kenyan and he had only one citizen parent. Given there are probably several million lawyers, experienced jurists, political consultants and observers, not to mention self-appointed constitutional experts, why did NOBODY broach the "two-citizen-parent" requirement until AFTER Obama's election?
Could it be because everybody who actually knew the rules knew better...???
I saw lots of people discussing this from the first days Obama began running for the highest office in the land.
It was on that date that the Great Epiphany occurred and thus began the emergence from dormancy of countless persons who now swear that decades earlier they were taught "NBC = born in the U.S. of parents who are citizens." Though when John McCain ran for president in 2000 that generation was still in hibernation, and they remained so until shortly after the 2008 election.
Though notwithstanding the advent of Google Books and a vast amount of now other readily accessible documentation, not one of them has been able to document a single textbook or resource material from their school days that actually contains that supposed definition.
It's a most curious thing.
