"So let's be clear on this; if a Military Judge rules that the events regarding Obama's birth are relevant then the Prosecution can then stipulate the fact that Obama's father was not a citizen of the US at the time of Obama's birth is not relevant to the case."

No, that's not exactly what I'm saying, but it's close.

We are talking about two separate questions - Question #1, Was Barack Obama born in HI, and....

Question #2 - Is Obama eligible to be POTUS even if he was born in HI?

I was in a disagreement about what Lakin is alleging with another poster. From a fair reading of Lakin's publicly available statements, it's clear Lakin is alleging "Question #1", and he wants to see Obama's birth certificate to prove his allegation.

If Lakin was alleging Question #2, then there would be no need to see Obama's birth certificate. Obama would stipulate to the foreign citizenship of his father, and that question would then be litigated.

The chances of the military judge finding relevance to Lakin's court-martial for either question one or two, are precisely 0.00%.

Both questions can only be legally decided by the Original Birth certificate.

To date no court of law has ever seen his Original Birth certificate or even the COLB as a legal document, that’s why this case is important.

Obama can claim anything he wants in a book actually written by his buddy William Ayers but proving it in a court of law is a whole different matter.
