There is a lot of opinion and back-and-forth arguing about this issue, and it’s not going to stop. The problem is that the case of what parameters need to be extant to make a person a natural-born citizen have never been adjudicated. All we have to go on are legal opinions of people who know the Constitution, but they come down on all sides of the issue.

Don’t hold your breath waiting for a court to take this one on in today’s political atmosphere. Too bad they’re such cowards, but they think that it would destroy the country if zer0 were found to be ineligible.

So where does that leave us? The country can be destroyed by zer0, or it can be destroyed by riots and mayhem if he is removed.

We need to take back the reins and slow this stagecoach ‘way down.

It was no secret that Obama's father was not a citizen and that he had dual citizenship at birth. He admitted those things in his autobiographies.

Even though those facts were well-known, in the run-up to the election or thereafter, no one raised any issue about his eligibility to be President-- not one of his primary opponents, not one of the Republican primary candidates, not John McCain or Sarah Palin in the general election, not one member of the electoral college, not Vice President Cheney when he certified the electoral vote count, not one member of Congress from either party (who could have objected to the certification), not one law professor at any law school, no one. To expect any court to now set aside an election on that ground is just dreaming.

This has nothing to do with fear of riots; it's because the political process has decided, by virtually unanimous consensus, that birth in the U.S.makes Obama a Natural Born Citizen.

Things will be very different if it is ever proven that Obama wasn't born in Hawaii (not that I expect that to be proven, but no one knows). But the noncitizen father issue is dead. Leave it alone.

I should have added, not one member of the Supreme Court when Obama visited them before the inauguration, and not Chief Justice Roberts when he swore Obama in.
