IMHO, Right here we have the source of confusion that Team Obama has successfully exploited.
(1)The BC: Team Obama has created havoc about this point. From their point of view, the WH has been very successful in confusing the BC and the COLB, with the MSM and many politicians heralding "release" of the COLB as solving everyone's problems.
(2)Conflating "Native Born," which is at least an intriguing possibility for Our Leader, with "Natural Born Citizen."
Personally, I think it's a trick. Team Obama can make a great show of releasing a Birth Certificate, and will try and claim that it answers all the questions. It doesn't. There are TWO (2) different issues here.
By putting both of these concepts into one sentence, Team Obama has managed to get various schools of thought among his opposition at each others' throats. No school of thought has an articulate, elected official as spokesman. The Republican Party has refused to enter the fray, even though this is a Constitutional crisis affecting the legitimacy of our government.
My school of thought: get this matter on the floor of state legislatures. We need a body of STATE law that demands documentary proof of a Presidential Candidate's eligibility before allowing the candidate on the ballot, or receiving that state's electoral vote.
That way, a state AG could challenge the candidates on their status as "Natural Born Citizens," automatically throwing the issue before the SCOTUS, where this can be decided once and for all ... (and one way or the other!)
Even if a candidate is required to submit a BC to the 50 Secretaries of State, what happens if they turn out to be forgeries but the SOSs accept them anyway??? or if the candidate doesn't turn one in at all and the SOS's just let it slide??? Once the lawless are entrenched in power, they will evade every law they choose while holding their opposition to every letter thereof -- as Obama's lemmings are doing right now.
With the revelation of the two different DNC documents, the question is now: Which one did the 50 SOS's accept from the DNC??? It is time to start camping out at the doors of the state AGs offices and demand some investigations of fraud in the SOS's offices.
The natural born citizen clause is the controlling law here and every politician knows it as evidenced by McCain's SR511. Where is Obama's SR511??? Since he doesn't meet the Senate's own requirements for natural born status, then what is he doing in the White House to begin with???
