Pure obot disinformation.

The 14th Amendment has nothing to do with Article II presidential eligibility and the term natural born Citizen is NOT mentioned even once in it's wording.

Natural born is from natural law, and requires no man made law or legislation.

Keep calling it “Obot” misinformation so that everyone can see what a prick you are.

English Common Law was the basis of jurisprudence in the early party of this nation’s history. It was the lens that we viewed the law. The Marshall Court relied upon it exclusively, except in the matter of international and naval situations, and it is where many of our current legal precedence comes from.

The Supreme Court has plenty to say about the birther arguments, and none is good news for the birther movement.

James Madison said, clearly, that legilation was needed to more clearly define the rules of citizenship.

This was after the ratification of the Constitution, in a case that even you legally ignorant birthers agree was a solid case of citizenship!


“It is an established maxim, received by all political writers that every person owes a natural allegiance to the government of that country in which he is born. Allegiance is defined to be a tie, that binds the subject to the state, and in consequence of his obedience, he is entitled to protection… The children of aliens, born in this state, are considered as natural born subjects, and have the same rights with the rest of the citizens.”
Zephaniah Swift, A system of the laws of the state of Connecticut: in six books, Volumes 1-2 of A System of the Laws of the State of Connecticut: pg. 163,167 (1795)

The following is an enormous list of legal citations, from Obama operatives, but you need to know what you are up against:

James Madison, The Founders’ Constitution Volume 2, Article 1, Section 2, Clause 2,
Madison:
It is an established maxim that birth is a criterion of allegiance. Birth however derives its force sometimes from place and sometimes from parentage, but in general place is the most certain criterion; it is what applies in the United States; it will therefore be unnecessary to investigate any other.
