Oh, wait a minute.
What better way to protect the office of the Executive from foreign influence then to require the President to have inherited his American citizenship through his American father and not through a foreign father. Any child can be born anywhere in the country and removed by their father to be raised under foreign influences in another country. The risks would be for the child the return in later life to reside in this country bringing with him foreign influences and intrigues.
Therefore, we can say with confidence that a natural-born citizen of the United States means those persons born whose father the United States already has an established jurisdiction over, i.e., born to father’s who are themselves citizens of the United States. A person who had been born under a double allegiance cannot be said to be a natural-born citizen of the United States because such status is not recognized (only in fiction of law). A child born to an American mother and alien father could be said to be a citizen of the United States by some affirmative act of law but never entitled to be a natural-born citizen because through laws of nature the child inherits the condition of their father.

Hawaii may not be allowed to show the birth records, but what is stopping "the one"?
Reminds me of the old song, "Too legit. Too legit to quit!" Does the fraud think that he is above the Constitution? The Democrats and Obi may pull this off, but if he doesn't become more forthright, his administration will be tainted before it begins.
SCOTUS will punt. It will go no further. They will decide not to decide.
FYI ping!
Why Obama doesn’t just show his vault copy birth certificate is probably problematic for him. It’s not that it will show that he wasn’t born in Hawaii, it probably does. But that it shows some other information that would be very embarrassing for him.
My guess is that the fathers name listed on the birth certificate is ‘Frank Marshall Davis’, or ‘unknown’! And if the father is ‘unknown’ his name on the birth certificate is probably listed as Barry Dunham (his mothers maiden name).
If Davis is listed as the father, and since Davis is/was a U.S. citizen then Obama is, by natural law and Hawaiian law, a natural born citizen. If the fathers name is listed as unknown, and since natural born citizenship follows the father, it becomes very muddled as to whether or not he’s “natural born”. A U.S. citizen, probably. Natural born...doubtful.
Another fly in the ointment is that we know that he moved to Indonesia with his mother and was ‘adopted’ by Lolo Soetoro (his mothers second husband), and that he went to school there as Barry Soetoro. The question then becomes...When did he become Barack Hussein Obama II?
There would be some court record where he legally changed his name from Soetoro to Obama. If he didn’t legally change his name then America just voted in a fraud, someone who ran as both a Senator and as President under an assumed name. I think that’s a big no-no!
Also, being adopted by an Indonesian he would be an Indonesian citizen, and could only become a U.S. citizen through ‘naturalization’. And naturalized citizens can’t be President.
I know this is kind of convoluted, but I think something on this order has to be why he’s willing to spend hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of donated dollars to hide it.
BTTT
I BellStar was born in a Army Hospital in Yokohama Japan where my dad a young Lt. in the U.S. Army and Mom were stationed when I was born. I was an American Citizen from day one. I do not have a birth certificate only U.S. States can issue them. I and otters like John McCain also a military dependent when he was born have a report of birth from the U.S. State Department. We are and always were American Citizens because both parents were. That is not the case with Mr. Obama if in fact it turns out he was born in Kenya.
Typical leftist reverse spin. Don't blame the person who just has to produce his original birth certificate, blame the Supreme Court Justice who is making sure the US Constitution is being followed!!
Isn’t it time to take to the streets and start protesting in public?
"I'm so depressed and embarassed that Free Republic Freepers are demanding that Obama prove he is eligible to be president! I will not be able to function today! So I will post nonsense about how stupid Freepers are about Zer0‘s lack of birth honesty."
It would be so easy to clear up if obamanation would release his birth certificate. But since he won’t release his school records either, he won’t be forthcoming.
What would it be like if obamanation was found illegal and therefore ineligible as POTUS? The demoncRATS and party would be down the tubes. What a delight!
