An in camera review by a judge would keep any embarassing details that have no constitutional implications private, while confirming the geographical location of Obama’s birth.
What is the mechanism to enforce the constitutional mandate regarding the citizenship status of a president? Does a candidate have to prove his citiznship status, and to whom? If not, why not? If the proof submitted is dubious, who has standing to challenge it?
And given the practical realities of how we elect our presidents, isn’t the time to settle such questions prior to the election itself?
One would think a free and unbiased press would demand proof of eligibility during the campaign process, especially where the issue has been raised and insufficiently responded to. Unfortunately this has been demonstrated to be a mistaken assumption. A government solution such as FEC certification may not be the answer since the whole system seems to have been corrupted.
My guess is that the powers that be have decided that the very real possibility of serious civil insurrection in the event Obama is belatedly found to be ineligible means the issue must be stonewalled at all costs.
There seem to be many answers and many questions. Read these 600+ posts for more info.
