Center column 5 paragraphs up:

The 14th amendment will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who
belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the government of the United States, but
will include every other class of person.

Bingham states: I find no fault with the introductory clause [S 61 Bill],
which is simply declaratory of what is written in the Constitution, that every human being born within the
jurisdiction of the United States of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is, in the language
of your Constitution itself, a natural born citizen… . . – John Bingham in the United States House on March 9, 1866”

Thank you for that source. I had the Bingham quote, but not a link to it.

There is also this...from the Department of State (I'm still reading through it):

In any event, the fact that someone is a natural born citizen pursuant to a statute does not necessarily imply that he or she is such a citizen for Constitutional purposes.

So...the Department of State is saying that even if Obama was granted natural born citizen status via a law that transferred it from his mother, and in spite of his father's British citizenship, and Obama's dual citizenship, he STILL wouldn't meet the Constitutional requirement to hold the office.

Laws or statutes do not trump the Constitution.

Requiem æternam dona eis, Domine; In memoria æterna erit justus, ab auditione mala non timebit.

Beauseant!
