FYI — just in case you’re interested in a meditation on what American citizenship is, and whether the sitting POTUS is one.

The Constitution itself nowhere defines “natural born.” ,

Oh yes it does!

"Natural Born" is declared in Article II [No Person except a 'natural born' Citizen...]

.. and "Natural Born" is implied and expressed in the Constitution as a result of COMMON LAW.

The Common Law in this case goes all the way back to the Magna Carta (over 700 years). "Natural Born" was actually expressed (written) in Vatel's Law of Nations. If you don't know what the Law of Nations said about "natural born" you should. The Founding Fathers did. The Founding Fathers knew exactly what was implied, expressed and common to law when they drafted Article II, the "natural born" eligibility clause.

The Constitution and de Vattel’s Law of Nations has the answer to any questions regarding citizenship abroad and any laws crossing national boundaries:

EXCERPT 1. U.S. Constitution, Article II, §1: No Person except a natural born Citizen, OR a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President;

EXCERPT 2: de Vattel’s Law of Nations circa 1758 Book 1, Chapter XIX, § 212: The natives, or NATURAL-BORN CITIZENS, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens…The country of the fathers is therefore that of the children; and these become true citizens merely by their tacit consent.

Finally, the main item in the Constitution that ties both together:

EXCERPT 3: U.S. Constitution, Article I, §8: The Congress shall have Power…To define and punish Piracies and Felonies committed on the high Seas, and Offenses against the LAW OF NATIONS..

LAW OF NATIONS is CAPITALIZED, meaning our framers were citing a proper name. There was only one Law of Nations in 1787 officially declared. And yes, Congress has the power to create and enforce ANY LAW mentioned in the Law of Nations written by Emmerich de Vattel! It was sitting right under our noses the entire time.

"Natural Born" is a "separate" class of citizen for a very important reason. The Founding Fathers wanted to make sure any citizen that served as President owed his allegience, commitment and fiduciary responsibility, FIRST and FOREMOST, to the United States of America, NOT some foreign nation.
§ - Kerchner et al vs. Obama & Congress et al

There exists a possibility that Obama could be an illegal alien.

Obama has yet to adequately prove that he was born in the United States.

Obama has publicly conceded that his father was born in Kenya and a British subject/citizen at the time of Obama's birth which precluded Obama from gaining any U.S. citizenship from his father at the time of his birth.

At the time of his birth in 1961, under the applicable statute Obama also could not gain U.S. citizenship from his U.S. citizen mother due to her being only 18 years old at the time of his birth.

There also exists the possibility that if Obama had U.S. citizenship at birth, he lost that citizenship when his mother's second husband, Lolo Soetoro, an Indonesian citizen, adopted/acknowledged him as his son and along with his mother took him to live in Indonesia and when he later traveled as a foreign citizen with a foreign passport to Pakistan after the age of majority [18] when he was approximately 20.

A child born in wedlock and abroad to one U.S. citizen parent and one alien parent acquires U.S. citizenship at birth under Section 301(g) INA, provided the citizen parent was physically present in the U.S. for the time period required by the law applicable at the time of the child's birth. (For birth on or after November 14, 1986, a period of five years physical presence, two after the age of fourteen is required. For birth between December 24, 1952 and November 13, 1986, a period of ten years, five after the age of fourteen are required for physical presence in the U.S. to transmit U.S. citizenship to the child). Attorney Mario Apuzzo:

Obama's mother, born on November 29, 1942, was 18 years old when she gave birth to Obama on August 4, 1961. She was 117 days short from being 19 years old. But she had to be at least 19 years old (14 years old plus 5 years of U.S. physical presence) to satisfy the legal requirement of Section 301(g). Hence, if Obama was born in Kenya, under the Fourteenth Amendment, he is neither a U.S. citizen by birth on U.S. soil nor one by naturalization. (There is no existing evidence that Obama was ever naturalized.) Nor would he qualify to be a U.S. citizen by any act of Congress by being born abroad to a U.S. citizen parent.

UNfortunately many people seem to think that its too late...

That the endorement of the electoral college and the very act of being sworn in resulted in legitimacy of barry’s presidency...

However in a court of law that would not stand...

No action can cause an unlawful act to be legitimized..

I just cannot fathom what Obama would have lost squashing this shortly after his inauguration? This contentious issue is not going away.

Is this a ploy by the president to deliver a masterstroke revealing himself to be genuine at such a point when confidence has eroded to the point of dire necessity?

If so, I firmly believe that the anger will not evaporate; that the populace will resent the division created by the a potential fabrication.

Hawaii issues Certificates of Live Birth (COLB) to any person born within its geographical jurisdiction

Uh, make that within its geographical jurisdiction and to infinity and beyond. Sun Yat Sen has a Certification of Hawaiian Birth that's much more impressive than Hussein's internet forgery. http://www.scribd.com/doc/9830547/Sun-Yatsen-Certification-of-Live-Birth-in-Hawaii

querying the DNC and/or Ms. Pelosi: What did they know, and when did they know it?

Of course the DNC knew it. Nan knew it when she signed a candidate certification to Hawaii but only a nomination letter for the other states. Hussein was also on the Senate committee that agreed McCain met "natural born citizen" status (Panama issue aside) and agreed that term meant BOTH parents were American citizens. Funny how there wasn't a vetting committee for him.

( The Preamble to the Constitution of the United States of America declares:

" We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America. "

Either the Federal Government lacks understanding in what the preamble of the Constitution of the United States of America ( are we to believe that they are that ignorant ? ) or ? they are on a course to deliberately chose to ignore what the Constitution declares.....

The US Constitution does not say " WE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT " of the United States of America.... it expressly says " WE THE PEOPLE " and in " WE THE PEOPLE " is where the Federal Government get's it's just powers from the CONSENT of the " WE THE PEOPLE " ...

Now let us presume that what the Hawaiian Secretary of State has under seal (i.e., Obama’s “long-form” birth record) really exists. So what? It, by itself, cannot speak to the question of whether BHO is a “natural born citizen.” It could only attest to native-born status.

I beg to differ. Look at the birth record below: (this is the latest fake birth record)

Obama Birth Certificate

Listed on this birth record is the "birth place" of the father in block 11. IF the birth place shows any country other than the United States then Barack Hussein Obama is NOT a natural born citizen. Barry is a lawyer he knows the day he turns that birth record loose is the day he goes to court with a challenge to his natural born status that he swore to.

IMO, unless and until 0bama presents irrefutable evidence of his natural born status, he remains INELIGIBLE to hold the office he currently occupies.

There are far too many questions about his background, and far too much money being spent to keep them unanswered for anyone to blindly believe he is, in fact, eligible to hold the office.

The Congress failed in it duty to verify the eligibility. The former VP failed in his duty to demand that verification. And, the 0bamaroids continue to defend their messiah without answers to these very basic questions.

It’s time to take back the country.

We’ve just seen the global warming issue blown wide open by the exposure of the blatant forgery of phony climate data.

I want to see that birth certificate. I don’t see any reason to trust any of these con men.
