A campaign much more likely to achieve the result most of us seek, assuming we are to remain a representative republic is to demand of every potential legislative candidate that they answer the question to which we know the answer, and they all avoid

“What is the definition used by our founders for a natural born citizen?”

No office holder or prospective office holder who fails to answer, or answers incorrectly should hold office. He or she is incapable of defending a Constitution he doesn't understand.

Need I say that Obama fails to satisfy that requirement, "born in the country of citizen parents?"
