The historical meaning of “natural born citizen” (the meaning understood by the writers of the Constitution) is a child born to parents both of whom are citizens. BO, with a Kenyan father, does not meet that requirement.

However, the MSM, academia, the judiciary, the whole of the dominant elite in this country will go to whatever length is necessary to prevent this from becoming an issue.

Yes, if "historical" means since Obama became President: before that, it was understood to mean somebody born in the US, regardless of the parents' nationality, or born anywhere with at least one US citizen parent.

Currently there is no way to beat the communists that have control of the Federal Government.

“..the whole of the dominant elite in this country will go to whatever length is necessary to prevent this from becoming an issue.” (About natural-born citizen)

And yet, it is this issue that Sen. Claire McCaskill had to address in SR 511 and the resolution that Dems used to make Obama ‘eligible’. www.WeThePeopleUSA.ning.com/profiles/blogs/zapem-obama-knew-he-wasnt
