The law is so narrowly exclusive of Obama (his mother was 18 when he was born instead of 19 years of age) that I don’t think this whole thing will hold water. The SCOTUS originalists would just look at the law, thinking of original intent of the law, and find for Obama. It’s truly a slim technicality, even if he WAS born in Kenya.

Even if he WAS born in Kenya?!?

So to you the only thing that would disqualify him is he is found to be a cross dressing, cock ingesting, bomb belt wearing terrorist?

And the idea that “so what if his momma was only 18 instead of 19 [just barely 18, btw] and so what if he had all these other nationalities and maybe used an Indonesian passport, and was born a UK/Kenyan citizen too - they’re all just mere technicalities” often will get us common people in jail and/or with huge fines.

Except: He will have committed a felony with a fraudulent COLB, lied about it to the public and lied about it to the courts.

Why have a law at all if you are just going to disregard it after the fact? The SCOTUS might avoid involvement - that remains to be seen - but they can't just wave their hands and say "oh, phooey!" and make the whole issue go away. They also cannot make the law unconstitutional. The Constitution gives the power to make citizenship laws to Congress, aside from the ones already written into the Constitution, and not to the Judiciary. Five years is five years, not 4 years 8 months and 6 days. Besides, to make the exception for Obama would ignite protests from the right, instead of from the left, differing only in the regard that we wouldn't be burning down or shooting up our own neighborhoods. But a march on Washiongton? You betcha'!
