What is that end?

Adherence to the Constitution.

I think you mean your interpretation of the Constitution, not the document itself.

If we don't care about that, then we have nothing to hang any other issues on.

In practical terms, in the real world in which we live, what does that actually mean? That all other issues go by the wayside while you obsess on your Constitutional interpretation of natural born citizenship?

How in any state of delusion is it possible to believe that somebody born in Kenya to a Kenyan/British father is a Natural Born Citizen?

Section 1 Article 2
No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.

This is clear and concise and not open to varied meanings dependent on perspective of the reader. Either we follow the constitution as it is written or we do not but it's not a matter of "interpretation".

It is you who is committing the error of believing that the Constitution is something that needs “interpretation.” And in the process you are appear to be imputing meanings to it that it nowhere contains.

The Constitution requires that NO ONE but a natural born citizen may serve as commander in chief. You don’t need to interpret that, do you? The words and their meaning are as clear today as the day they were written. No one but someone with the natural undivided loyalty innate in a person born in the US to parents owing no other national allegiances.

Come on, only apologists for perfidy claim to find ambiguity in these words of art.

And, in fact, today in an offense to common sense and Constitutional law, we have precisely the situation forbidden by the Constitution. The particular individual must therefor stand as a usurper, for he is one in fact and law.

What can be done? As a practical matter, it seems very little. But that doesn’t mean we must need become defeatist. We can resist, and we shall, until he is shamed and removed.

That all other issues go by the wayside
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Who is letting other issues “go by the wayside”????

Huh?

Please stop using this DOJ talking point.

There are a ***very few** attorneys out there litigating. There are a ***handful** of journalists who may be devoting most of their waking hours to the issues...BUT BUT BUT BUT...

....The rest of us are marching with the Teapers, writing our congressmen, organizing for the next campaign on our block, educating our friends and neighbors about conservative issues, fighting election fraud, defending the unborn, and working like crazy to see that true Constitution defending conservatives are elected.

And....The **TRUTH** will **ALWAYS** set us free! The following is the TRUTH!

Truth: Obama has gone to very considerable and expensive trouble to hide documents and information that the unanointed American routinely discloses throughout his lifetime.

Truth: Obama is acting like a guilty man.

Truth: Obama even used DOJ attorneys ( paid for by the U.S. citizen) to prevent the release of information and documents that common Americans release routinely.

TRUTH: Obama is and has**wasted** and misused American resources at a time when our soldiers are being shot dead on their bases and recruitment centers, planes are nearly blown out of the sky, and soldiers nearly poisoned with their food.

Truth: Obama used DOJ attorneys and distracted them from the important work of keeping American safe, all in an effort to hide common information.

Article II states POTUSA shall be a ‘natural born citizen’. this isfact not interprtation. Article I Section 8 embeds the Law of Nations into the Constitution and intentionally so at the Founding Convention. This is fact not interpretation. The Law of Nations is specific that a natural born citizen is one ‘ born in the country of parentS who are it’s citizenS’. This is fact not interpretation. These facts are part of the many issues involved about BHO.
