Thank you for that explanation. I appreciate it.
I haven’t given the case much credence, but I do have to wonder why he just doesn’t produce the document and let it be over with.
It would be so easy. I hate the lengths people go to now to obfuscate matters. Why are we not insisting that our politicians stop doing just that? And everyone of them does it.
You’re welcome.
It is a stonewalling tactic; rather than initially contest the merits of the case, they first attack jurisdiction. Of course, they do call the allegations “ridiculous and false”. And we do know that they did post a COLB on his web site previously (though its veracity has been called into question).
I, like almost everyone on this site, despise him, and the rest of the rats are beneath contempt. My gut feeling is that he is NOT a natural born citizen, but my previous training has allowed me to separate my personal feelings from my analysis of the merits of a lawsuit or motion.
And with that, i am adjourning for the night.

“I do have to wonder why he just doesn’t produce the document “
See my #16, they may simply be avoiding setting a legal precedent in which a method or requirement for presidential eligibility is set. Currently there is no “controlling legal authority” or process to determine, at a federal level, whether a candidate fits the constitutional requirement. All of the federal laws deal with finance, not eligibility, and no state law that I could find deals with the issue at the state level (I have not checked all 60 states).
