>The United States Constitution requires that Presidents (and Vice Presidents) of the United States be natural born citizens of the United States.<
And what about the Speaker of the House being third in line for the presidency?
Vattel based his treatise on the evvolving civil law of Europe, based in Roman law and eventually codified under Napoleon.
The Founders based the Constitution not on Roman law, but on English common law. The relevant treatise is that of Blackstone, under which every person born within the state is a subject of the King and by extension a citizen of the USA.
Your theory requires that there be three categories of US citizen: native-born but not natural born and therefore not eligible to be a US president; natural born; naturalized. In actual fact the Supreme Court and US law have always recognized only two: native (natural) born and naturalized. If Obama was born in HI he's native-born and eligible to be President.
That he's never presented definitive evidence he was born there is an entirely different subject.
This may prove to be the ONLY way we can rid ourselves of this blight called Obama. But we’d better have all our ducks in a row, and be able to conclusively PROVE it.
The scenario is virtually unimaginable, but as every day goes by, and more people suffer because of his demagoguery,
challenging his legitimacy to even be President looks like a tactic that deserves our most serious attention.
