I think it is an interesting issue, because (1) a national discussion about why George Washington and John Jay wanted the term "natural born" in Constitution is timely. And (2) the search for Obama's true birth story and then the story of how his view of citizenship developed and fascinating, and tales of character.
Without an character that is honest and of integrity there is no sense discussing issues. When a drunk harbor pilot steps on the bridge it's a foolish captain who wastes any time discussing the harbor with him.
“and fascinating” -> are fascinating
