Define the legal meaning of “natural born citizen” as it pertains to the constitutional qualifications for being the President of the US. Do you know what it means? Do you know why it matters that the American elite should be forced to obey that rule in the constitution?

Here’s a simple question, and please be honest: *IF* Barack Obama was a Republican and most especially *IF* he was a conservative; would your stance be exactly identical or would you insist that there is no *practical* difference since common usage doesn’t recognize a distinction between a regular citizen who was born within the territory of the United States and that of a natural born citizen, whose parents are also both Americans?

Who then will be screaming about an illegitimate president? Wouldn’t it be the MSM, liberals, unions, and Democrats while conservatives will be defending his legitimacy?

This shows this entire birther issue is merely political grandstanding since the ideological views of Obama is the PRIMARY reason for the stances of the critics.
