Looks like he’s a natural born citizen according to this author and I like his credentials as opposed to the usual internet blogger. Mark Levin likes him too. And I have much more faith in Mark Levin than your average anonymous sea lawyer/blogger.

Mark Levin on natural born Citizenship:
"And I thought to myself, you know I, this is not a subject that I have studied so thoroughly, but he’s born of a mother who is an American citizen. Doesn’t that make him a natural-born Citizen?… "
Almost FIVE years after the usurpation of the presidency and Levin says he hasn't studied it very thoroughly.
So we are no longer birthers ....
