The constitutional provision was rationally illogical, but morally sound. It was about trust. In this respect it was marvelously prescient, for what is the real issue today? Trust...
If I had to put money on it, I’d bet that Obama will take his oath of office, but trust in a man who followed the spontaneous “surrendering” of a birth certificate all the way to the Supreme Court will forever be undermined. O.J. Simpson was acquitted of murdering, but became synonymous with “travesty of Justice”...
Obama, the leader who preferred law firms to transparency will always be the Coca-Cola-Formula-Birth-Certificate Man. Any extra-judicial utterance any call for courage, fortitude, patience, etc. coming from him will sound hollow. Many will go to the law books to see how those calls might have a legal standing. At present this is shallow consolation... but eventually it will sink in... and perhaps the truth will really come out. It will dog him.
So, the Constitution did its job quite well, because TRUST was what that provision was all about... and now we have the true measure of this man. Not a leader of men, but a client of lawyers over an issue as simple and innocuous as 1+1=2.
About sums it up.

The imposter will forever be looked upon as an usurper to the throne, the lead character in a comic operetta set in the duchy of Grand Fenwick.
His words will be meaningless, his fiats ignored, his leadership unfollowed.
He'll end up rearranging toy soldiers on the Oval Office rug while a cabal in the U.S. Congress will run the country.....and the presidency.
