What's difficult for me to understand is where your three classes of citizenship are defined, either in the Constitution or in law. What you would have us believe is that Obama announced to the world that he was Constitutionally ineligible to be president, knew he was, and ran anyway.
He refers to himself as Native Born or as your wit suggests “rainbow born” (another term not found in the constitution).
My wit does tend to get the best of me at times. So in all seriousness, tell me where the difference between native born and natural born is defined - in the Constitution or in federal law?
From what I have read Native born appears to be a concept that is contemporary to the writing of the constitution, or rather found in those documents that were the basis for the constitution.
The constitution as great as it is does not cover every eventuality of law, as the frame work of our nation it provides a base from which all other things can be built upon with certain exceptions, those things that the constitution says must be applied, the requirement of a Natural Born citizen rather than any other type of citizen as president is one of those exception.
The Constitution states The president must be a natural born citizen, and it doesn’t state how many other types of citizens there may be.
Some here have even dared to suggest that a son of the Iranian President born in the air space above Hawaii on an Iranian aircraft that never lands on US soil would be considered a Natural born citizen of the United States and equally eligible to be president even if he never set foot in the United States.
What we are talking about here is a question not just about citizenship but of a greater issue and the reason for the Natural born clause: fidelity and loyalty to the United States and it’s laws, customs and in the end to its very existance, and that’s why our founding fathers put it into the Constitution. It is the clause that is meant to protect this country from someone that will go to any lengths to destroy it.
And right now I have to say that Obama is well on his way to destroying this country.
