“The fact is that US law makes no distinctions among people who are citizens by birth. There are either citizens who acquire citizenship through birth, and naturalized citizens. The latter may not serve as President or Vice President. We have to conclude that since the President was born in Hawaii and that his mom was a US citizen, that he is indeed a “natural born citizen.”

It is time to drop this issue. The President’s revealing of his birth certificate has taken what was a potent plurality of people and turned it into a fringe minority. It has 0 political power anymore.”

100% Correct. Anyone with a basic understanding of the law - or even just a good dose of common sense - would get this by now. Unfortunately Birtherism has become the right’s version of 9/11 trutherism.

And the irony of that was that it was started by supporters of Hillary Clinton.
