But I love my country and want it back enough to let that issue die

Tell that to all the military families of today and to everyone for the past 200 years who has fought for the consitutuion and to keep America free. Sure, let's just ignore this little part of the consitution. Heck, let's just ignore the entire constitution since it seems to be causing such an uncomfortable situtation for you.

Exactly. How will we deal with this Constitutional provision in the future? Candidates for POTUS should be immediately required to show a valid Birth Certificate (in my mind that the Long Form for the state of Hawaii in particular, because of their weird laws) and other records, as you would have to for any responsible job in the land.

Those of you who think this is a kook issue, disregard the Constitution. That is reason enough to pursue it, at least persistently (not obsessively.)

According to the best evidence we have, the guy was born in Hawaii. A lack of perfect "proof" for a proposition does not prove its opposite. But here is the most important thing and you need to accept it: the American people have already made the issue moot - dwelling on the matter will not change the outcome, no matter how much we may wish it were so.

The Constitution is far more threatened by Obama's policies than by the vague circumstances of his life and birth. That is where we must expend our energies, rather than on chasing after elusive documentation that the Left and their news media accomplices are using to distract us and make us look foolish.
