This guy is a phony

Unfortunately, that is true about two people in this case: Berg and Obama.

NB how Berg interjects red herrings along the trail. e.g., “born in Kenya on August 4, 1961, (and) at the time of his birth his mother was only 18 years old and not old enough to confer U.S. NBC status to him.” That is, instead of sticking to the "Constitutional Case," he opens yet another legal can of worms. How can the mother alone confer NBC? O, do lets take a year or two to decide that, before we tackle Article II.

Berg, IMNSVHO, is a sower of confusion. Originally paid by the Clintons, after 2007-8 he has gone on with his various charades ... probably at the best of someone on Team Obama.

How can the mother alone confer NBC?

Under the 1961 law, if a child was born out of the country to a single US citizen parent, in order for that child to be declared a citizen, the parent had to be 18 years of age and had lived in the US for a certain length of time(I forget the exact ruling), Bozo's mother didn't qualify, if she had he would be a Natural Born Citizen no matter where he was born. The law today is slightly different but the law at the time is the one in play. Therefore, the article is correct and the statement is correct whether you want to believe it or not. Please don't give me the BS about Two US citizen parents being required, that has never been upheld, even if you count the one instance a lot of people(forget the name of the ruling)quote.

When it comes to legal challenges, folks need to just stick to the RELEVANT facts and not create “smoke” that obscures the salient issues.

It should never be forgotten that it was the Clintons who gave birth to the "birther" movement.

During the last presidential campaign, in August, 2008, Bill Clinton was asked if he thought Obama was qualified to be president.
Clinton's rather odd, cryptic reply:

"The constitution sets qualification for the president. And then the people decide who they think would be the better president."

Bill Clinton made this reference to the Constitution shortly after America's latest fad, the "community organizer" from Chicago, popped up out of nowhere and stole his wife's destiny by winning, in rather sleazy fashion including the shameless playing of "the race card", the Democrat nomination for President.

It has been my opinion since that time that the Clintons know something, and that it was they who quite deliberately fanned the flames of controversy over Obama's birth. Remember, it was a prominent Hillary Clinton supporter, Philadelphia lawyer Philip Berg, who launched *the first* Obama eligibility lawsuit. That lawsuit was filed in August of 2008, shortly after Bill Clinton made the curious reference to the Constitution when asked if he thought Obama was qualified to be President. Coincidental timing? Sure it was.
