Why didn't they just say “an American citizen born of American citizen parents”? Was there an ink shortage? As I've said that whole passage was very carefully crafted to allow one man (Alexander Hamilton) to run for the Presidency if he wished. Obviously many people here like the like one definition, I honestly think the other one is the correct one. If there weren't these constant disagreements about the law there would be a lot of lawyers standing in soup lines.
The truth is this isn't going anywhere. Obama isn't going to be turned out of the White House because of a problem with his birth certificate, said problem which may or may not exist at all. 69 million votes is 69 million votes. Maybe he will be removed for something else he does, or a series of things he does, which finally turns a lot of those 69 million voters against him, but this birth thing is not going to be the silver bullet. And you can rest assured I wish he was out of office as fast as it can be legally arranged.
I take your last sentence as a compliment.

I tend to agree with you. But this weakens BO, as there are all these lingering doubts as to what he’s hiding. That in and of itself is a good reason to soldier on, on this issue, to, as you say, peel away some more of those 69 million votes.
Also, it’s a foundation erosion on his more insane socialist agenda.
Forgive me. I've been reading this thread for 4 days and my head is spinning. But, wasn't it the OPPOSITE case? The law was written so that Alexander Hamilton COULD NOT run for President?

Yep, never use two words when eight will do, as James Madison was always fond of saying.
