Judge wants definition of 'natural born citizen'
WND ^ | April 26, 2012 | Bob Unruh

A federal judge has determined in a case challenging Barack Obama’s eligibility for a state ballot that the meaning of the constitutional phrase “natural born citizen” is “important and not trivial.”

U.S. District Judge S. Thomas Anderson of Tennessee said the courts ultimately must define “natural born citizen,” affirming that the “issue of whether President Obama is constitutionally qualified to run for the presidency is certainly substantial.”

Here we go again. We now have another Federal Dist. Ct. judge who says he is going to define "natural born citizen." I am sure the Obama thugs have already made a late night call to the judge and devised a scheme for him on how to derail the case. Anyone with a grain of sense knows from the beginning of this debacle that the issue has always been a legal not a political question. However, even the Supremes have "avoided" the issue. I remember Judge Carter in California two years ago proclaiming at the beginning of a case brought by Tatz that he was going to resolve the matter once and for all. When his decision came he punted, saying he didn't have the authority and devised some cheap, convoluted excuse to ditch the case, the details of which escape me at this time. And, so the big black hole has been dug, deeper and deeper now for three plus years, heralding a true constitutional crises for the country. Obama has created the 'Mother of All Crisises' and I am sure he will not let this one go to waste. If the judge does in fact rule, he will surely play the race card and create national unrest and martial law. This likely has been his plan all along? He has been stalling, waiting for the crises to get to get a bad as possible.

Pretty certain that a “natural born citizen” would not have a father who was a citizen of some other country.

Maybe the long form is hidden because HBO Sr is not the baby-daddy and the identity of the real dad is even more embarrassing. The other question that should be addressed is this: Can a citizen leave the country, become a citizen of another country via adoption (no dual citizenship allowed, meaning, the adoptive parents terminated American citizenship), then be somehow re-patriated (there is no document trail for this one), then become eligible to be the President? The defintion being sought is important but maybe the question needs to be expanded for the current circumstance.

I’m not one for conspiracy theories, but at this point there are a very significant number of judges that have started down the road of ruling on the issue, only to suddenly reverse code and spit out what is an obviously unsound decision. I believe that someone must be threatening these judges and their families.

” the adoptive parents terminated American citizenship”

THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE. Your parents can NOT, a foreign government can NOT, YOU can NOT, lose your U.S. citizenship until the age of majority.

PERIOD!!!!!

Look, at the end of the day the Innocent By-stander in the Empty Armani Suit is not qualified to be President based on his lack of ability ... and without judges we should have the guy out of office using a voters box instead of the court room

“A federal judge has determined in a case challenging Barack Obama’s eligibility for a state ballot that the meaning of the constitutional phrase “natural born citizen” is “important and not trivial.””
U.S. District Judge S. Thomas Anderson of Tennessee said the courts ultimately must define “natural born citizen,” affirming that the “issue of whether President Obama is constitutionally qualified to run for the presidency is certainly substantial.”

““The court construes these allegations about President Obama … as corroboration of plaintiffs’ main allegation that President Obama is not a natural born citizen or otherwise qualified to be president,” the judge wrote.

Anderson’s opinion included a notation that the U.S. Supreme Court in Minor v. Happersett defined “natural born citizen” as “all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens.”

“It is undisputed that the material fact at issue in this case is whether under the circumstances of president Obama’s birth, the president is a ‘natural born citizen,’ a term set out in the United States Constitution and construed under federal law,” he wrote.”

This could be HUGH!
or he could find a horses head in his bed, or a dead fish wrapped in newspaper.

(even spell check thinks “Obama” is illegitimate)

So, Judge Anderson...what's your hang-up here?

I wonder why Obama ordered both new short and long form birth certificates in the first place.

1. Did he simply lose the one he had sometime in 2007 or sometime before? I'm talking about the one he wrote about in one of his books.

2. Did the dog eat it?

3. Was it in such bad shape in 2007 that he felt he needed a new one that was in better shape?

4. And what about his Connecticut Social Security application?

5. Obama could simply order a copy of his SS application form today and show it to the public in a few days, and if it showed that young Obama did indeed apply for his SS card back in Hawaii as Obama supporters claim, then the Connecticut Social Security number controversy would end.

6. For instance, Obama could get a copy of his SS application and display it at a White House press conference like he displayed his long form birth certificate at a White House press conference to great fanfare back in April 2011.

7. As many of us know, anyone can easily get a copy of his own original SS application form by paying a small fee. Check SS website for details.

8. As he was holding up a copy of his SS application, he could say something like this: "See, I told you that I applied in Hawaii as I claimed. Also, this application also shows that someone else did not apply for me in Connecticut as birthers claim and that I did not steal someone else's Social Security number like the birthers also claim I did."

9. But no, so far Obama has remained conspicuously silent when it comes to the Connecticut Social Security number issue. Why is that?
