What you’re saying reinforces my point that Obama’s lawyers have made no claims about Obama’s eligibility. They know better than to make a claim they can’t support. Thanks for falling on the sword yet again.

You’re welcome, I’m glad that I could help!
However, just so you know, the way the American system of jurisprudence works is that the plaintiff has to prove his/her case, not the defendant.
In the only actual adjudication of Obama’s status as a natural born citizen thus far, “Ankeny et. al. v Mitch Daniels, the Governor of Indiana,” Obama wasn’t named as the defendant and therefore it was the Attorney General of Indiana who made the claims of his eligibility not Obama’s lawyers. The judges of the Court of Appeals unanimously agreed with the Attorney General and they dismissed the lawsuit.
But I’m sure that hope springs eternal!

I never said otherwise.

In the only actual adjudication of Obama’s status as a natural born citizen thus far, “Ankeny et. al. v Mitch Daniels, the Governor of Indiana,” Obama wasn’t named as the defendant and therefore it was the Attorney General of Indiana who made the claims of his eligibility not Obama’s lawyers.

The defendant in that case did not make a claim that Obama was eligible. Again, they knew better. Instead they relied on a circular argument (i.e., the case has already been decided and/or dismised elsewhere, but they make no claim of whether Obama was ever found to be eligible).

But I’m sure that hope springs eternal!

Of course. It only takes one honest court to do the right thing.
