I did not write what you just quoted.

Yes, he was born a US citizen, but he does not appear to meet the standard of ‘natural born citizen’ as was used and applied at the writing of the Constitution.

I doubt it will be enforced, as Obama, at least by his public story of his origins, failed to meet it and is quite obviously holding office today—and I expect it’s just another bit of the Constitution that will be ignored.

If we fail to throw him out on this basis, his Presidency will set the new precedent in practice. The USSC swore him in twice.

It will then become the standard Constitutional interpretation that NBC = born to at least one full US citizen.

It will do us no good to restrict ourselves and our selections when the USSC will have already set precedence for that standard with Obama and a de facto definition of what NBC may include.

Let's run Cruz/Rubio if they're up to the task. The libs will regret the precedent they allowed go be set with Obama.

FReegards!
