I beg to differ. It is the ONLY argument in Donofrio’s case. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

You will find that Donofrio has claimed that 3 candidates in NJ are not natural born citizens of the USA pursuant to Article II of the constitution.

What Donofrio argues on his blog is not necessarily what he might argue
on a Cert Pet hearing, if it ever gets that far, as we hope.

Again the context is not that British Law “trumps” US law. If Obama was a British Subject at Birth, that does not by itself exclude him from office. He would have to be in fact “born in Kenya” and not a “natural born American”.

This natural born requirement is a wild card which can result in him being a valid candidate, depending on what logic SCOTUS would apply to the case if they hear it.So Donofrio is not asking SCOTUS to abdicate its duty to “British Law.”

It is entirely possible for SCOTUS to decide that Obama, even though in fact born in Kenya, is a “natural born” American as the natural son of a US Citizen.

My son, born in Newfoundland, was issued a “Certificate of Birth of an American Citizen Born Abroad” by the US consulate in Halifax, Nova Scotia, for example.It is frequently issued for the sons and daughters of military personnel.

So even if Obama was indeed born in Kenya as a matter of fact, we are by no means out of the woods.Article II has had no SCOTUS law decided under its provisions. Its new legal territory.

So British Law does not “trump” US law. It is merely an argument that can be made, that Obama fits within the exclusionary version of an historical argument. Scotus does not necessarily have to apply that argument, and will decide for itself what “natural born “ actually means. No case has decided that before.

Lets hope it gets to the hearing stage.

Go read Donofrio's documents and what he's submitted to the USSC. It's exactly the same thing. He claims that McCain was ineligible because he wasn't "natural born" but was only a citizen "by statute" and that Obama is ineligible because his father was Kenyan

He would have to be in fact “born in Kenya” and not a “natural born American”.

Then why does Donofrio repeatedly claim that Obama's place of birth makes no difference, only his father's status and British law regarding citizenship?

My son, born in Newfoundland, was issued a “Certificate of Birth of an American Citizen Born Abroad” by the US consulate in Halifax, Nova Scotia, for example.It is frequently issued for the sons and daughters of military personnel.

According to Donofrio's arguments regarding McCain, your son's not a natural born citizen, either.
