I have read the Wong Kim Ark decision and disagree with your interpretation.

Had Obama been born outside the USA there might have been some ability to argue to the contrary, but since he was born in HI the question becomes moot.

I have never seen anything in a Supreme Court decision that gives “natural born citizen” any meaning other than the obvious, one who is naturally a citizen at birth.

Obama was born in USA, qualifying him by jus solis, and his mother was NBC, qualifying him by jus sanguinis.

Since it’s only a little over a year to the next election, don’t you think our efforts might be better used winning the next election rather than trying to invalidate the last one?

AFAIK, no state has to date passed a law requiring all candidates provide documentation of their constitutional eligibility for the office. What up with that?

Read “Minor v Happersett,” 1875.

Arizona did, but Saint Jan Brewer vetoed it.

So much for being tough on illegals, huh?
