The issue is whether he’s natural born, per the requirements for eligibility of the president in the constitution.

Ok. But all Article II says is "natural born." There seems to be some argument as to exactly what qualifies one to be "natural born."

If he’s natural born and an Indonesian citizen, it won’t matter much...

But according to Berg's lawsuit, that matters a great deal. Berg argues that if he is or ever was an Indonesian citizen, or even a Kenyan citizen by virtue of his father's citizenship, that disqualifies him as being "natural born," and that his being born in Hawaii is irrelevant.

But if that doesn't matter to you, then why does it matter whether he was born in Hawaii or not?

I'm just trying to make sense of what you're trying to say.

***He might be right. I just happen to think the likelihood of this particular argument winning the day is about 2% while the birth certificate (Proven to be a forgery) knocking Obama around will be significantly higher.

But if that doesn’t matter to you, then why does it matter whether he was born in Hawaii or not?
***Because if he was born in Hawaii, he’s natural born. If he was born in Kenya, he’s a naturalized (ahem, illegally naturalized) citizen and he’s disqualified in the constitution. It’s just as if someone were to prove he’s 30 years old — he wouldn’t meet the age requirement.

I’m just trying to make sense of what you’re trying to say.
***I don’t get that impression. I get the impression you’re trying to steer the conversation to Berg rather than address the very, very, very simple (and as yet unanswered) question of WHY hasn’t Obama produced a birth certificate just like McCain did?
