Because Beck is one of a few raising embarrassing questions, it is reasonable to ask him to do what he often does, for example when questioning the effectiveness of the H1N1 vaccinations, bring on knowledgable people.

Mario Appuzo is measured and probably much more expert now than he was a year ago in the constitutional history of the definition of natural born citizen. It should be easy to find an academic, or perhaps see if Holder or Anita Dunn's husband, or even Larry Tribe could take the anti-Jay, Anti-John Marshall, anti-Waite, anti-Bingham, anti-Washington, anti-Hamilton, anti-Madison position.

Whoever dares to ask if Obama satisfies “...born in the country of parents who are its citizens” is sure to get the full Alinsky treatment. Beck quotes “...and the truth shall set you free” but, for whatever reason, is afraid to touch that truth. Whoever does will get great ratings, and the left wing drones will call him or her every name they can think of - but they won't answer the question clearly, and that proves the point.

No pundit on the “right” has the integrity and courage to ask how a man whose father was, by his own description, a subject of the British Commonwealth, making his son a subject by the British Nationality laws can be said to satisfy the unchanged definition “...born in the country of parents who are its citizens?”

A proof of foreign birth would nail ineligibility, but the powers, and trillions of dollars at stake insure that we will never find documents. Obama’s security chief before the election was CIA. Men have already died for having the knowledge of what was in State Department files. Proving violation of jus soli is a long shot (though he should have assured us that he satisfied it). But his parents, both of them, were not citizens. That is not a long shot, but a certainty. The more you read about the origins and understanding of jus sanguinis by our founders, the more you will realize that the doubts about it have been planted lately by Obama operatives. It can only be changed by constitutional amendment. The senate pretended to change it in 2008.

Keep questioning. Pay no attention to name calling. Obama is a wonderful example of why our founders required both jus soli and jus sanguinis for our president.
