You said -- So The Marxist Onada continues to play now you see it, now you don’t with the birth certificate.

Well, Obama did swear an oath, at least -- 50 different times and places -- that he is fully qualified under the Constitution, to be in the Office of President of the United States. And as far as "getting away with it" I presume you mean still being in office. And if that's what you mean, yeah, he's still in office...

And then you were saying -- "The bottom line is that Onada has yet to present any credible evidence that he meets the Constitutional requirement of having to be born on American soil to qualify as an American presidential candidate."

Well, there is no legal requirement that a candidate produce his birth certificate. The Constitution says he *must* meet those qualifications, and he swears under oath that he does (and like I said, 50 different times for at least 50 places). This is the same thing done by all other candidates and they did not have a legal requirement to produce their birth certificates either.

There is a Constitutional requirement that a presidential candidate be born in the US. The reason for that requirement was to insure that no foreigner could run for president. Americans had had enough of people “governing” them an ocean away.

So, there is a “born in the USA” requirement. What there does not seem to be in place is a formal process of verifying the requirement was met. Moreover, as far as I can tell, the requirement was never an issue before since everyone running for US president was “native born”.

That being said, it does not in any way diminish, let alone remove, the Constitutional requirement.

Now, if there is a requirement there must be a device to verify the requirement is correct. That device is a birth certificate. To say that there is no requirement to produce a birth certificate is specious and/or disengenuous. INHERENT in the place of birth requirement is the requirement to PROVE place of birth—ergo produce a birth certificate.

Please don’t insult my intelligence by pretending there is no Constitutional requirement for a presidential candidate to be a native born American.
