I was not trying to rehash MvH, but rather, to point out that Olson and Tribe, two constitutional scholars who have both been mentioned as possible SCOTUS nominees, hold that natural born citizenship can be obtained separately through either jus sanguinis or jus solis. Since the issue has never really been tested in the courts and we have examples of Vice Presidents and now President who appear to have been found eligible to be on the ballot, a precedent has been set.

The issue of what constitutes "natural born citizen" needs to be resolved ASAP since we have 300,000 to 400,000 anchor babies born each year to illegal aliens and we also have millions of Americans living and working abroad either thru the government or the private sector. Today one in 8 residents of this country is foreign born and by 2050 the number will be one in five residents.

I suspect that the Marguet-Pillado citation may be just another distraction to get folks all upset about the BC issue and ignore Obama's record and policies. The WH website offers T-Shirts and mugs for sale making fun of the BC issue.

I am as upset as anyone about this issue. Fraud has been committed, but I don't know if it is the issue we should be concentrating on in the runup to the election.

When fraud is committed by one of us lesser peons, we go to jail, have to post bail, get indited, face pretrial hearings, and then go to trial and either are acquitted, or found guilty and go to jail.

Barack Obama is no better than we are and should face precisely the same process any one of us citizens do. Obama is NOT above the law. Unless we let him get away with it that is. I have no plans to let him get away with it.

Laurence Tribe was creating a diversion for Obama. He was one of Obama’s campaign advisers and he was a former professor who said Obama was the best student he had out of THOUSANDS of students at Harvard.
