Why on earth SHOULDN’T these constitutional questions as to “natural born citizen” be legally determined?

Well, three you go. Thanks for admitting that simply giving his BC to a court would do nothing to stop the lawsuits.

Actually, if it contained genuine details from medical professionals demonstrating a Hawaiian birth, it would almost certainly put to rest a lot of the public speculation that is beginning to show up in the media as well that subset of the legal theories that actually do rely on a foreign birth.

If the long-form birth certificate so demonstrated a Hawaiian birth, the issue, I predict, would lose a lot of its resonance with the public. Yes, the legal issue as to the constitutional definition of "natural born citizen" would continue to be of interest to lawyers and constitutional scholars, but that issue is much more obscure than the factual possibility that Obama was not born in Hawaii and there would be much less interest in the subject generally, in my view.
