>>>ANY ‘Anchor Baby’ that was born to anyone running across our border .. is eligible to be POTUS?

Yes.

The nonsense about a British father disqualification is just moving the goalposts when the “born in Kenya” business fizzled out.

Hayworth is smarter then I expected.

>>>Birtherism is a waste of resources better employed convincing the sheeple they made a serious mistake, to be corrected through the normal electoral process in 2010 and 2012.

As the issue has evolved, yes. The shrill fanaticism of the Birther is more then anything else apt to push voters back into Obama’s arms. We don’t need to be throwing him life-rings as he sinks.

Yes.

No. Any misreading of the Kim Wong Ark case notwithstanding, no child born to parents who are in the US illegally is a "natural born" citizen.

Congress may grant statutory citizenship to such "anchor babies" if that is their lunatic will, but Congress can NEVER bestow natural born citizenship on anyone. Natural Born citizenship predates the very existence of Congress, and will remain even if Congress is gone.

TLB says “The nonsense about a British father disqualification is just moving the goalposts when the “born in Kenya” business fizzled out.”

Really? Nonsense? I’d pay money for you to say that to Apuzzo (attorney). I suspect he’d eat your lunch with the British Constitution.

I’m rather appalled that to question Obama’s eligibility is now considered “shrill fanaticism”. You and Uncle Chip throwing in the towel, are you? To be silent is to lose.
Don’t call me a fanatic when I question an individual purposefully ignoring the constitutional requirements to hold an office of the US government.
Ignorance is a real killer. It is what put Oboy in office. Surely we are capable of teaching - and not in a fanatical way. And certainly not through our silence.
Uncle Chip has mentioned Oboy “may still be a British citizen”. That is exactly the point. If he is still a British citizen - then he is NOT a US citizen. You and Chip need to show me the evidence where Oboy renounced his British citizenship in order to become a US citizen.

Aside from all that - the real point is not whether the fool will ever be removed from office. Although it is in the power of the people to make it happen if they wanted it bad enough. Instead we get our heartrates up in blogs and forums like it means something and we walk away ‘satisfied’.
The point is that the world needs to know this fool is an imposter and lied to the world. And that the damage he has intended and accomplished on this country - by all rights - he should be held fully accountable for those willing actions.
Being silent is what they want. Are you both in it for him or do you want him exposed? Exposing the fool takes nothing away from the upcoming votes. Silence is exactly what feeds his disgusting fire. I must wonder why you’d choose the path of silence on this.
