How do you know that Donofrio thinks that Obama really has a vault BC showing he was indeed born in HI? He actually thinks that to be so?

Leo's rationale is that Obama IS a lawyer. A lawyer will generally have the paperwork to back up his side and NOT "bluff" on something as important as this.

There may be something damning in the COLB, but Leo said on Lan's radio show that this whole COLB thing is PROBABLY just a distraction - a rope-a-dope to keep us focused off the real issue.

Remember, Leo is looking at this through the eyes of the Framer's view of "Natural Born Citizen" -- with the office of unique CONSTITUTIONAL qualification requirements of POTUS. That little Senate Resolution in April/May proves the UNCERTANTY of this issue for McCain (but was intended by the Dems to help Obama, too):

S.RES.511: A resolution recognizing that John Sidney McCain, III, is a natural born citizen.

Furthermore, after reviewing the events of the last year, Leo thinks McCain and the GOP never brought the issue of Obama's dual citizenship or divided loyalties because THEY REALIZED in a CONSTITUTIONAL-context McCain may not be considered a Natural Born Citizen himself.

Again, Leo's view is that in a CONSTITUTIONAL-context (NOT via statutes governing his birth to US citizens), McCain cannot HOLD the office either, not being born on US soil. CERTAINLY, Obama can't with DIVIDED loyalties of a DUAL citizenship.

In fact, Leo's point of view is both Democratic AND Republican voters were BOTH deceived by their respective candidates and parties. Looking back at the events of this Presidential Election Cycle, I tend to agree with him.

We may have ALL been duped!

BTW, a "Senate Resolution" doesn't mean a damn thing.

It's like you and 99 of your buddies getting together and saying, "Hey, let's allow Daffy Duck be president." Just because you agree to it, and that the Framers didn't "cover the issue of cartoon characters as President," doesn't change the law, and CERTAINLY not the Constitution.

As S. Res. 511 acknoledges:
Whereas the term ‘‘natural born Citizen’’, as that term appears in Article II, Section 1, is not defined in the Constitution of the United States;

BO is not just any kind of lawyer. His expertise is the Constitution......Can't help but think he saw a loop hole and the arrogant S -BO thought he could get by with the sham....I hope he's tried for treason for trying to destroy the Constitution.

Regarding this point:

“Remember, Leo is looking at this through the eyes of the Framer’s view of “Natural Born Citizen” — with the office of unique CONSTITUTIONAL qualification requirements of POTUS.

I’ve read (could be wrong) that this resolution, which did not pass, was put forward by a small group of Dems including Obama, and that Repubs weren’t involved? If anyone knows more, please ping me so I don’t miss it.
