The Constitution is not completely clear on what defines a Natural Born Citizen.
_________________________________________________________________________________________
Mis-defining does not help. It is not “Natural Born Citizen”. It is “natural born Citizen”.
Only Citizen is capitalized because it was formal, specific, defined term in the Constitution. This was Citizen of the [one of] the United States. The adjectives of ‘natural’ and ‘born’ added normal refinement to the type of actual Citizen that qualified to be President.
Capitalization matters and it especially matters here. People keep looking for the magical definition of “natural born Citizen” and is common mis-represented derivatives of Natural Born Citizen, Natural-born Citizen, natural-born Citizen. But when you look that actual words and do not mis-represent them the definitions are simple to find. Go look up “natural” and “born” in the dictionary. That is apparently what the founders did.
Sorry for the capitalization. We still need a definition that fits life in the 21st century and beyond. Very few Americans believe that children born to criminal trespassers should be eligible to be our President, so we do need a hard definition of “natural born Citizen” that encompasses the facts of our world.
Obama is obviously hiding something. There is no other reasonable explanation for his behavior. If you believe that was born on U.S. soil, what do you suppose he is hiding?
