Lets see Obama prove his duel allegiances/foreign citizenship at birth is really a natural born citizen in a court of law by going to trial, but we know he’s a chicken Bock bock bock.....

Why would he do that? He's already been sworn into office by the chief justice of the highest court in the land.

Just because you Birthers think that "this is a gravely important constitutional question that must be settled" doesn't mean anyone else does.

Why we're at it, why don't we demand the Supreme Court settle once and for all whether the sky is blue or the sun rises in the east? The Constitution seems a bit vague on those issues.

Let see ...honesty, personal integrity, putting the issue to rest. Stop leaving the question open about him being an usurper. Being presidential, which is honesty and personal integrity.

The sky is blue or the sun rises in the East are not Constitutional questions, however, being a natural born citizen as a requirement to hold legitimate presidential office is one. No clause or phrase in the US Constitution is without effect.

SO? A bit of ceremony not mandated by the Constitution. The Constitution merely provides that the oath be taken. It need not be, and has not always been, by the Chief Justice, or any judge or justice. It need not even be done orally. It's just another requirement for taking office. Like winning the electoral college vote, being 35 or over, having been 14 years a resident, and being a natural born citizen. Fail to be or do any of those, and you're not President.

Not even if you swore on the King James Bible, the Jewish Tanakh and Thomas Jefferson's copy of the Koran.
