the constitution says “natural born citizen” NOT
natural-born American citizen.
An extra hyphen and the word American change the meaning.
Its an “I did not have sexual relations with that woman trick”
“natural-born” hypenated is a *medical* not a legal expression.
that Obama is an American citizen is *not* the point, he has to be a Natural born citizen, period.
This king of legal trick won’t work, we already know leftists have no shame about twisting and torturing words to confuse the TV watching folks.
Dr. Fukino is not a “leftie.” She was appointed to her position by the Republican Governor of Hawaii who herself has confirmed Obama’s birth in Hawaii while endorsing John McCain for President and giving one of Sarah Palin’s nominating speeches at the Republican National Convention.
The determination of whether Barack Obama is an Article 2, Section 1 natural born citizen was made by the US Congress in joint session when they certified Obama’s electoral votes and no one out of 535 members of Congress raised an objection. Furthermore Obama was sworn in an President by the Chief Justice of the United States.
Obama’s status as natural born also could have been challenged before he ever was on the ballot in any primary states or before the general election. It was not challenged.
Obama himself wrote a best selling book about his father not being an American citizen and he wrote that book 12 years before he announced his candidacy for president.
Here’s what a conservative Republican Federal Judge appointed by George W. Bush had to say in throwing out an attempt to get at Obama’s birth certificate by another Army officer who refused to deploy to Iraq:
“A spurious claim questioning the President’s constitutional legitimacy may be protected by the First Amendment, but a Court’s placement of its imprimatur upon a claim that is so lacking in factual support that it is frivolous would undoubtedly disserve the public interest.“–US Federal District Court Judge for the Middle District of Georgia, Clay R. Land in dismissing “Rhodes v MacDonald” September 16, 2009
The link you posted does nothing to confirm what you wrote. Second I like your Freudian slip referring to Barack Hussein Obama Junior. Isn't it strange that Barack is supposedly named the II instead of Junior? Do you know the protocols for such differences? Is it possible Barack has or had another middle name? Is it possible Barack Senior is not his biological father? Why did Barack Senior name his second male child the II? Again a very interesting slip(up) by you.
