You still don’t get it do you, Jim.

The constitution of America requires that a candidate be a natural born citizen, which he is not by his own admission.

Please try and understand reality at least a little bit.


Once again, the courts that have looked at the issue have seen it differently from you:
“Based upon the language of Article II, Section 1, Clause 4 and the guidance provided by [the United States Supreme Court in 1898 in the case of US v] Wong Kim Ark, we conclude that persons born within the borders of the United States are “natural born Citizens” for Article II, Section 1 purposes, regardless of the citizenship of their parents. Just as a person “born within the British dominions [was] a natural-born British subject” at the time of the framing of the U.S. Constitution, so too were those “born in the allegiance of the United States natural-born citizens.”—Indiana Court of Appeals, Ankeny et. al. v The Governor of Indiana, Mitch Daniels, Nov. 12, 2009
and also:
“This is one of several such suits filed by Ms. Taitz in her quixotic attempt to prove that President Obama is not a natural born citizen as required by Constitution. See U.S. CONST. art. II, § 1. This Court is not willing to go tilting at windmills with her.”—Chief Judge Royce Lamberth, US District Court for the District of Columbia, April14, 2010.

We have NO IDEA where this man was born.

Don’t waste my time.

I don’t expect anyone to address the obvious fraud in the white house.

The die is cast, and the game will play.

“Once again, the courts that have looked at the issue have seen it differently from you:”

They have?

Page 468:

Quote from Minor by Justice Gray in Wong Kim Ark:

” ‘At common law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country, of parents who were its citizens, became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners. Some authorities go further, and include as citizens children born within the jurisdiction, without reference to the citizenship of their parents. As to this class there have been doubts, but never as to the first. For the purposes of this case, it is not necessary to solve these doubts. It is sufficient, for everything we have now to consider, that all children, born of citizen parents within the jurisdiction, are themselves citizens.’ “

Both Minor and Wong Arc Kim were cases defining “citizen.”
Boch recognized the definition of Natural Born Citizen as being born in country to two citizen parents.”...These were natives or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners.”

That seems to dispute your contention doesn’t it?
