“Really, if you think about it, birth place is secondary to citizenship of the parents...”

Not under American law, and not under how the term “natural born citizen” was understood at the time the Constitution was written. We have never followed the idea that parentage determines citizenship, with this exception - someone born overseas to two citizen parents has sometimes been considered a NBC. Not always, which is why McCain was in dispute.

“Obama’s loyalties are NOT to America.”

What about Rev Wright? Or Bill Ayers? How loyal are those two NBCs?

>>> We have never followed the idea that parentage determines citizenship,

Then why was citizenship of McCain’s parents examined in the 2008 hearing?

>>> How loyal are those two NBCs?

Oh.. so we should just ignore the constitution because it’s not sufficient to protect us from these people?

It is the RULE OF LAW that is under attack here.
Obama was cherry picked for this position precisely because he is not a NBC... to UNDERMINE the constitution.

Your arguments validate their objectives.

i.e. Oh well.. it doesn’t matter... its outdated.. antiquated... no longer needed.... so lets JUST IGNORE IT!
