In the course of maintaining The Obama Timeline I get my share of emails denouncing my efforts, most of which fall along the lines of, "You're a Nazi and a racist and your mother should have aborted you!"
Occasionally the author of the email is able to complete a sentence or two without the use of vulgarity and profanity---although it seems quite difficult for Obama supporters to avoid the use of UPPERCASE FOR EMPHASIS! Here is one example:
"The term [natural born citizen] is not defined in the Constitution and has never been applied in such a way that it would disqualify Obama. If you believe it does, then you should have taken it to court BEFORE the election. In the aftermath, it's just sour grapes."
Inasmuch as he (or she) managed to avoid references to mass murderers (Hitler and Planned Parenthood), I thought a reply was warranted. This was my response:
Regarding "The term is not defined in the Constitution…"
It is correct that the term "natural born citizen" is not defined in the U.S. Constitution. (Nor are hundreds of other terms.) That is, of course, the whole point of wanting the issue to go to the U.S. Supreme Court for a ruling. The Court would then be obligated to review relevant contemporaneous historical documents to determine what James Madison and the other Founding Fathers meant by the term. The Court would also have to recognize that an earlier draft of the document required only that presidents be native born, and that John Jay wrote George Washington to request that the requirement be changed to natural born to further remove foreign influence (via the citizenship of the president's parents).

I think Obama will want that moment back.
And the fact that he signed his name (before the election) to SR 511 in agreement with the TWO US CITIZEN PARENTS definition. He can't do a little side-step dance out of that one.
Yes, for that I did use all caps.
Which one? Or was there ever one?
Which one? Or was there ever one?
What birth certificate? Obama released a suspect Certificate of Live Birth, not Birth Certificate.
Natural Born Citizen is defined... in law and in expounded upon in the Federalist Papers. The intent of the Framers is clear and they made it even more clear in their writings. Not one single liberal has a reality based, historically correct education.
The US Constitution and its tenants are are basis of all individual rights and the limitations placed upon government. This clown is writing ignorance and propaganda.

That`s all I want, the USSC to decide if obama jr. is , as their own web site FightTheSmears says, if he is a Native Born or not.
ALL the legal evidence says obama jr. does not meet the Constitutional standard of Natural Born to be President.
Precisely! Onada’s most recently released document only proves that his father was “African”—not American. Hence, he is Constitutionally ineligible for the US presidency. The Marxist Usurper is depending on his propaganda organs and dumbed down Americans to go along with his charade.
It really is as simple as that. I’m truly amazed that any FR participant is fooled by the chicanery and/or buys into the argument that this Constitutionsal issue is not important. Onada’s own actions and policies make it clear the Kenyon has no allegiance to anything that is American. That is why The Framers put the “natursal born American” clause in The Constitution.
IMHO Obama would have wanted this moment to come after Trump had wasted a lot of time, resources and credibility on his “investigation”. This is the sort of thing he should have pulled out October 2012. So why now? Was he trying to neutralize trump before he got any traction as a candidate. . . or before he got any information as an investigator.
But the good news is that we have our Christ like "integrity".
If Obama had savoir faire, he would have been more subtle and Trump would have shrugged it off; instead; he chose a series of sophomoric one-liners that really pissed The Donald off.
Mark Twain’s famous quote ‘Never pick a fight with a person who buys ink by the barrel’ has to be modified for the 21st Century to ‘Never pick a fight with a person who can buy the ink and barrel factories.’

Great article. Thanks for posting it.
Clarence Thomas has telegraphed that Roberts will never hear this case
***I had not heard that. When did it happen? Is it official or under the table?
All they have to do is to get a Hawaii official to view the LFCOLB as presented on TV and pronounce it is certified or not!
If it doesn’t match the one they sent to him, America, we have a problem!
