“Blue” has nothing to do with this issue and I merely pointed out that it is incorrect to believe that there was any definition within the Constitution defining the phrase “natural born”. Nor within the most definitive commentary the Federalist Papers mainly the work of Hamilton.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

If your reasoning were applied to every word, term, phrase, sentence, and paragraph of our Constitution it would be the size of the IRS code!

No,...Ultimately, whether our experiment succeeds depends on our honest good character and fear of the Lord.

It is self evident that our Founding Fathers believed that the term “natural born” had a commonly understood definition among the people and did not need an exacting definition.

It is also self-evident that Obama is not a man of honest goodwill who fears the Lord. If he were, he would have been **HONORED** to promptly provide all documentation related to his natural born status.

“Natural born” was a term which came from the English legal system and referred to subjects of the King. In point of fact, the explication of the Constitution has taken on immense importantance and every lacuna of doubt has required the expertise of the legal system ending up in most cases before the Supreme Court.

By your reasoning only “Godliness” is important something rejected by the Founders in writing our Constitution.
