“Except that per the Constitution he needs to prove he is eligible which he’s blocking at every turn.”

Stupid as it may be, there is no statute that mandates the testing for eligibility. The Congress can challenge for eligibility during the Electoral College vote count, but that’s it — there is no legal mandate for demanding him to show anything to anyone. It is stupid that Congress never enacted a law, but it’s the reality we face. The law is NOT on our side.

Please explain to me how a dual national (as Hussein is, not even debated) at birth qualifies as NATURAL BORN? Read Paragraph 4 at the US State Dept. site located here states "...dual nationals owe allegiance to both the United States and the foreign country. They are required to obey the laws of both countries. Either country has the right to enforce its laws, particularly if the person later travels there..."

This brings us right back to ORIGINAL INTENT. Does you honestly believe that the Founding Fathers would in any way risk the election of a president of their new Republic who had allegiances and loyalties to England? A Revolution had just been won, and the King lost!

The founding Fathers knew full well the meaning of Natural Born Citizen, and Vattel's Law of Nations specifically outlined the definition, of which Benjamin Franklin concurred: Born on US Soil to two US citizen parents.
