Any Repub would be required to produce a legitimate long form BC. And actually, McCain was, and did. Zero was not required to. Many powerful people looked the other way, because they didn’t want to criticize the black guy.
Pound sand yourself! True conservatives just want the constitution to be followed.
Do you read? HIS MOTHER WAS A NATURAL BORN CITIZEN. SO IS HE by being born to a citizen, no matter where he was born. Sidney Ann never renounced her citizenship. He may also be a British citizen or a Kenyan citizen based on his father's citizenship. We allow dual citizenship. Elizabeth Taylor is a British, American and Israeli citizen. I can claim Irish citizenship and British citizenship and probably Canadian citizenship under the laws of those countries and, if I do, my children can claim through me. I do not intend to do this unless a kid insists (probably on Irish citizenship).
Birth in the United States makes one a citizen regardless of the nationality of the parents unless the parents were diplomats not subject to American jurisdiction by diplomatic immunity. Whether or not Comrade O was born in the US, he is a natural born citizen if ONE parent was a citizen at the time of his birth. Case closed. You are being suckered. The editors of National Review, Annie and most observers on the right have figured out the foregoing. You don't get to define constitutional terms your way just because you want to or find eccentric definitions convenient.
If you disagree, please cite the exact language of the constitution which you imagine justifies your claim that ANY candidate "would be required to produce a long form birth certificate".
Many people also "looked the other way" on the late George Romney (born in Mexico to Americans who had moved there) and Lowell P. Weicker, Jr., (born to Americans in Paris on business). McCain was born in the Panama Canal Zone when his father was stationed there in his military officer capacity. None of them were black guys. If you think that the situation is different from those three because one of Comrade O's parents was a foreigner, please cite the exact language of the constitution which you imagine justifies such a claim.
Instead of the editorials, how about the facts?
