The precedent found said he would be, by its provision, a “natural born subject”, the precedent being English, the phrase in America would be “natural born citizen” (I said “natural born”). The judge then went on to say he would be “as much a citizen” (nothing about rights), as a child born of citizens.

Last time I checked “as much a citizen” isn't carving out a class of born a citizen but not a natural born citizen, it is saying that he is “as much a citizen” as a child born of two citizen parents.

The relevant passage.....

“The child of an alien, if born in the country, is as much a citizen as the natural born child of a citizen, and by operation of the same principle”

It isn't hard to meet those requirements, many Americans do, but it is not at all clear that THOSE are the requirements, the SCOTUS has said that those are the provisions that leave it in absolutely no doubt.

Citizenship is not the requirement for being President....being a Natural Born Citizen ie born in country to 2 citizen parents is.

You;re making circular arguements that are falling in on themselves......

As I said they is no doubt what-so-ever that Obama is ineligible to be President..... the only question that I will address from this post onward is “What do we do about it?” Its is the only thing relevant to the discussion.....
