I asked if the situation exposed weaknesses in determining the Constitutional qualification of a candidate, and you said you "haven’t seen anything to suggest the new President isn’t a citizen of the United States of America."
Of course, the Constitution doesn't stop at "citizen," it asks for "natural-born citizen." How do we ensure that future candidates present to proper authorities proof of compliance with this qualification? We can't let the most powerful position in the world go to someone who is only willing to show a scan of one side of a document to a left-leaning website, and call that certified proof, can we?
You say "What I have seen is some on the Right of the political spectrum beginning to behave EXACTLY like the 9/11 kooks..." but 9/11 happened, and the government actively responded by creating a new government Cabinet-level department, forming a Congressional commission to review past practices, and enacting new laws to ensure the flow of information to all affected agencies.
If we use your analogy to 9/11 as a guide, then we should also change government practices around verifying qualifications for future presidents, to close an enforcement gap in the Constituion, whether Obama was qualified or not.
In today's information age, it's clear that we need additional future steps to ensure that future candidates positively demonstrate their qualifications. Wouldn't you agree?

What I posted tells you clearly I don’t see any indication to support this kook theory Obama is not an American citizen.
Given that, why would I bother with the rest of what you posted BASED upon that theory?
Anyway...we don’t agree on this. Have at it if thats what you feel you need to do. Good luck, you’ll need it in my view.
What you posted didn’t address a single thing that I asked. I asked if the situation exposed weaknesses in determining the Constitutional qualification of a candidate, and you said you “haven’t seen anything to suggest the new President isn’t a citizen of the United States of America.
***Typical of the obfuscations we’ve been seeing.
