Anderson Cooper did an excellent job, and followed the script perfectly. Cooper's job, just like most of those in MSM, the legislature, and perhaps elements of a complicit military high command, was to keep the focus on a birth certificate just as the trolls do on Free Republic. Cooper showed some temper and kept pounding the birth certificate so that even if Lakin or his attorney had wanted to explain natural born citizenship, he wasn't giving them the opening.

Even Gordon Liddy fell for the ploy “If he would simply show us his long form birth certifiicate all of this would be over.” Sad to see Liddy taken in. Remember, every senator in 2008, assisted by former HSA Secretary and federal judge Michael Chertoff said McCain was a natural born citizen “because both of his parents were citizens.” - Senate Res. 511. Every senator is playing dumb - dumber having seen how quickly the ethics charges appeared when congressman Nathan Deal sent a letter to the White House asking for some help because his constituents were asking for more assurance of Obama’s eligibility.

Lakin’s attorney (this appears to be the second one) did suggest that one issue was natural born citizenship, but returned to mucking with the details of the validity of the COLB. I fear that either Lakin’s patriotism is being used for the grand display of a Hawaiian birth certificate, at which time all mention of natural born citizenship will be discounted (a ploy which Leo Donofrio recognized over a year ago). Then Obama will graciously dismiss charges against Col Lakin who will quietly disappear from the public stage. Lakin could be in on it, but I like to think not.

The birth certificate is irrelevant. A Constitutional natural born citizen is “born on the soil of citizen parents.” Obama’s father was never a citizen. Obama II states that he was “Born a subject of the British Commonwealth”. No further proof is necessary. Citizen parents (two of them) as cited by four chief justices of the supreme court. Our republic has no other definition. Google The Venus, 12 U.S. 253, par 289, chief justice John Marshall. Obama is not a natural born citizen.

To get a concise history of presidential eligibility go to http://puzo1.blogspot.com and the U of Connecticut's http://undeadrevolution.wordpress.com. Then read James Wilson on the Law of Nations, Joseph Story Rules for Interpreting the Constitution, James Kent's Founders on Citizenship. There is practically no end of writing by our framers, founders and justices, and all of it confirms the primacy of Vattel in structuring of our legal foundation. Jefferson taught from Vattel at William and Mary. Madison too, and was president of William and Mary. Marshall, a cousin of Jefferson, attended. The truth takes a bit of work to ferret out, but there is simply no other conclusion that if we allow Obama to stay, we have decided that the Constitution doesn't have to be respected. Our republic has now ceased to be based upon a Constitution - unless we insist now!

“The birth certificate is irrelevant. A Constitutional natural born citizen is “born on the soil of citizen parents.” Obama’s father was never a citizen. Obama II states that he was “Born a subject of the British Commonwealth”. No further proof is necessary.”

Excellent and spot on analysis. It’s amazing how few people have gotten to that level of understanding.

People, focus on Article 2 of the constitution. The founders wrote it as a purity test for one job in the world. They simply didn’t want anybody with a split loyalty/dual citizenship to ever be POTUS. They could have film of Obama being born on the carpet in the oval office and he still wouldn’t be elegible for POTUS, as long as Obama Sr really is his father.
