Just for the record, if you look at an actual copy of the United States Constitution (or the high resolution scans from the National Archives website), you will notice that the most prominent, and probably the most important words are We the People. "Natural born Citizen" isn't in the top ten most important phrases.

Still, I would be more comfortable with Congress looking into this than with the courts trying to write a brand new law requiring some kind of proof. We don't need activist judges. That's a dangerous game. Even if you think you agree with the results, it's still dangerous and outside the constitutional separation of powers.

The problem isn't so much that Obama isn't a natural born citizen. The bigger problem, and the one that will destroy this country, is that 52% of the voters thought he would make a good president. That points out a serious educational problem with constitutional knowledge and the appropriate roll of the Federal government. He was a known liberal/progressive/socialist, and it was known that he had radical, revolutionary socialists and communists that advised him. Yet the people still voted for him. That's the problem.

Getting rid of him on this "technicality" won't solve the underlying problem. We'll just have another socialist to deal with after the next election if we don't educate our fellow voters to prevent candidates like this from winning in future elections.

I’m in total agreement...how do you propose to go about educating the voters? I certainly don’t have a clue how to do it, I can’t even begin to comprehend how they got to be so stupid in the first place.
