The place of his birth could not matter less. Than has always been a strawman probably proffered by Obama’s own people to distract from other obvious problems. If there really was a birth certificate showing that Obama Sr. was the real father Obama Jr. would have been disqualified for that reason alone. At the time of the writing of the Constitution being native born did not automatically confer citizenship, therefore it is impossible that the “natural-born” clause pertains to what land is under your feet when the midwife smacks your behind. What mattered then, and therefore matters now, is the nationality of your parents, period and end of story.

“What mattered then, and therefore matters now, is the nationality of your parents, period and end of story.”

You REALLY don’t know your history, do you!

Or your present. If you apply for a passport, do they ask for a birth certificate, or your parent’s passports?

Haven’t you ever wondered why all 50 states, both parties, every Congressman and the Supreme Court disagree with your legal analysis?

He got rich and famous on the strength of a book celebrating the fact that Obama, Sr. was his real father. Everyone knew it before the election.

Including John Roberts, above, who knows a bit more about the Constitution than do you.
