Eligibility will not be allowed to trump the voter’s choice will be the rallying cry.
My freshman civics class taught that Natural Born Citizen meant born is USA to American citizens (mom and dad). I figured that is why they stated our front that his father was Kenyan/British and obfiscated it with the birth certificate issue.
Indeed. During his 2008 campaign Obama stated on his fightthesmears website that he was “native born” of a U.S.-citizen mother and British-citizen father. An in-your-face admission that he doesn’t meet the natural born status set forth in the Constitution.
David Axelrod launched the term “birthers” centered around the claim that Obama wasn’t born in Hawaii. While it appears unlikely that Obama was born in Hawaii (why manufacture a birth certificate if you already have one) this tactic polarized and ridiculed anyone who dared question Obama’s eligibility for any reason.

Birthers often say this. No one has yet to produce a single civics textbook defining Natural Born Citizen in this fashion. It would sure be a coup if someone could.
