Barack Obama's apologists state that his birth certificate controversy has "been proven a lie." They want it to be a lie, which of course has nothing whatsoverwith do with the fact it is not a lie. They can say it is; open their mouths and say all kinds of things. The fact they are not correct simply . . . exists. Whether Obama is not Constitutionally eligible to be President may not be proven. What is proven, so far at least, is that he and his minions have used every means at their disposal to hide efforts at exposing the truth.

You said — The test is not whether he is a citizen, but whether he meets the legal definition of a natural born citizen.

And just *who* have you found, thus far, to enforce this?
You said — If he isnt hiding anything why did he issue an executive order on inauguration day keeping his birth certificate and grades away from the public?

Okay, I’ll bite... What’s the Executive Order Number and where is it published?
My only concern now is that even if there is iron clad proof he is not, the court case would out last two terms.
My only hope is maybe just maybe it would slow down the erosion of our rights because time and resources would be drawn away from the Democrats while they fight the court case.
You can still be a naturalized US citizen, that's different than a native born US citizen who is eligible for Constitutional Presidential election
You have a lot of faith in the law. Let me ask you, do you think the constitution in terms of a “living constitution”?

Post #18 would shorten that time span down to just the next election...
No, I think it’s a completely dead piece of paper, and doesn’t mean too much other than what the citizens themselves do. That’s why I suggest passing those state laws (i.e., the “citizens at work”) to get things to work the right way...
See post #18... :-)
Until we see it...we haven’t seen it. Duh.
Something is rotten in Denmark. And Washington D.C., and Hawaii, and Indonesia, and Kenya....
According to this article:
http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=91317
“According to much legal research, at the time of Obama’s birth he could be a natural born citizen by being born in the United States, by being born to two U.S. citizen parents (not possible because of his father), or, if only one parent was a U.S. citizen at the time of the birth, that parent must have resided in the United States for at least 10 years, at least five of which had to be after the age of 16.
The problem is, Obama’s mother was only 18 when she gave birth, so his only apparent route to “natural born” citizenship status would have been to be born in Hawaii.
But there are other questions, too. Even if Obama was born in the state, would he have inherited citizenship from his Kenyan father or his American mother, a juvenile?
If he was born overseas as some critics contend, is there any way he would have acquired U.S. citizenship at birth? After all, statements from members of his extended family in Kenya, including some from his paternal grandmother, seem to indicate his birth location was in Kenya, not Hawaii. “
13489. You can google it.
He is not.
Get over it.
The powers that be, have decreed it irrelevant, and the sheep are in accord.
“And just *who* have you found, thus far, to enforce this?”
That does seem to be a problem.
We’ll that’s a problem. Because where it matters, the majority of judges consider the consitution a living document. It’s going to take more than just laws.
British Citizenship Act 1948. Any child Fathered by a British Citizen is automatically a British Citizen at birth.
You said — That does seem to be a problem.

Post #18 would be an enforcement mechanism, by the way... :-)
So is Obama British? Wasn’t Kenya British when Obama was born?
Yes, I hear you. I think that would help.
“If he isnt hiding anything why did he issue an executive order on
inauguration day keeping his birth certificate and grades away
from the public”
Transparancy for everyone but himself. Time to write some letters to editors and demand that he begin with himself.
She was 18 and the law governing citizenship required that the parents be at least 19 in order to automatically pass citizenship to a child. More importantly to qualify as "natural born" both parents must be US citizens and the birth must occur in US territory. Obama's father was a British subject, his mother was underage, and it's very likely that he was born in Mombasa Kenya. That's three strikes...
