Ann, as a lawyer who worked at the USSC, please tell me how a man who admits to being governed by British Nationality at birth can be eligible under Article 2 Section 1 of our Constitution?
No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty five years, and been fourteen Years a resident within the United States.

Good article, although obviously I don’t agree with her comparison of “birthers” with DNC cranks.
Without taking any particular exception to anything you say below, I must say that Ann's piece doesn't strike me as an actual attack on "birthers," so much an it is the lack of a defense of them/us. All her piece says is that "If you think the Republican Party has gone round the bend with people thinking they can remove a sitting president over the absence of evidence of native citizenship (which no prior POTUS has been required to produce), I can name a dozen crackpot ideas off the top of my head which are held by more Democrats in America than there are 'birthers' in the entire country. And while you can't show me a 'birther' high up in the Republican Party, there are essentially no Democrats in the country who don't hold at least one idea which is at least as crackpot as anyone thinks the 'birthers' are."I don’t think its being a crank to ask to see his original birth certificate, and to ask what citizenship he claimed in college.
It wounds me that Ann doesn’t see it my way, but I’ll get over it.
Ann, its simple. I make no claims. I cast no aspersions. I only ask:
But half a year into O’s presidency we’ve never seen an interview with anyone who knew his mom, his grandpa, or O himself really. The complete and total lack of curiousity on the part of the press is, well, remarkable.
My point about the constitutional requirement for native citizenship of the POTUS is that it is a slender reed of a requirement because there are so many unpatriotic native American citizens and so many patriotic naturalized American citizens. And that, considering that Obama was born and raised by people of no patriotism and schooled in a foreign culture in foreign lands, if Obama is a native American citizen that is the technicality much more so than the fact (if fact it be) that Obama's mother was not in Hawaii on the day he was born.When you get down to it, the nativity requirement in the Constitution would make as much sense (albeit less provable) if it required that a POTUS be conceived in the US. Which would eliminate the anchor babies.
Lord I hate insomnia
Sorry Gary, you know I love Ann but on this topic I’ve got to disagree with her; though I love how she takes on the left in this column.
I’m having difficulty with her position on so called birthers. Most of us simply want Obama to prove his eligibility under Article 2, Section 1 of the US Constitution that he is eligible to hold the office of POTUS after he admits to holding British Nationality at birth.
Throw in his adoption to an Indonesian Citizen and at best he is a Naturalized Citizen - but we don’t know this.
I’d also expect Ann to slam Obama for his secrecy and the reported millions he’s spent to keep any and all documents from his past (including state Senate records??) sealed.
I would love to know why Ann, being a lawyer who worked at the USSC feels confident Obama is eligible when nobody has seen documentation that would prove it.
Then why is she opening her big fat mouth other than to buy her way back on to the View where she will make herself look stupid again.
I don’t think that anyone who buys her dress shoes at Liz Claiborne is a man at all. She is snide, insulting, and superior in her arguments, and she quotes out of context, but she is not a man.
Dumbest thing she’s ever done or said in her career... And I adored the woman. It’s very unsettling to see her doing this.
sigh...
Okay, how's this:
"Maybe because she's got a little more intelligence than you do."
Do you have evidence, or should I just call you Mr. Rather?
It is very disappointing. I was willing to let her first comments last week roll off my back(big deal..so we disagree kind of thing)..but for her to come out again and join in the snarky chorus of the MSM scumbags is pretty unforgiveable in my book.
Steak dinner at THE PALM says Obama is phony as a 3-dollar-bill.
What about Ann?
PS Bring a copy of Obama’s ORIGINAL BIRTH CERTIFICATE with ya...
I'll be at the bar. BIG SMILE
We will just have to wait and see where she goes. I hate it when people make statements without explanation.
It’s not about choosing a “battle”...Ann is simply on the wrong side of this battle and doesn’t even recognize the real reason behind the “birthers”.....
It’s about Obama LYING and not being HONEST!!!!
Wow... for an issue that I dont think anyone knows for certain what the truth is, one must hop on the band wagon or face the firing squad! No tolerance for debate on this, join or die! I dont see how questioning BC claims makes one an obongo supporter.... Its getting wild around here!
I do not believe Ann will answer your question. She has been warned and most who might possibly question Obama’s constitutional qualifications. Have they been threatened? I would say most definitely!
Only us American Patriots will continue to fight for the truth and even go so far as to turn our own names into the White House on line watch web site to save the Obama supporters the trouble of turning us in!
I was hoping you’d find it funny!
Hmmm, a supporter of the view.
Interesting
I would love to know why Ann, being a lawyer who worked at the USSC feels confident Obama is eligible when nobody has seen documentation that would prove it.
I think her point is that no matter how far this goes, it will not stop the corrupt Justice Department and the corrupt Obama administration all with the help of the Dixie Mafia and the Chicago/PoliticalMachine/DaleyMob/Criminal Rham Emanuel "the enforcer" organization from keeping Obama in office no matter what is proved on this issue.
If the 14th Amendment was interperted correctly, there would be no anchor babies.
