Current law does’nt apply, it goes by the law at that time.

You are missing the point. That is true, but do you really believe that an elected candidate for POTUS is going to be rejected because of a regulation that was rescinded over 30 years ago and is invalid today, even if it were valid 45 years ago? Especially when, if his mother had been a few years older when he was born, even that old regulation would not have been an issue?

Nice try.....

I believe the point you are trying to make is that, as of Nov 4, 2008, the only qualification for being POTUS (our Constitution not withstanding) is

birth as a Federally defined minority.

I tend to agree with that assertion (well, since I made it first.)

Nice try ? I am just pointing out the law to you where YOU misinterpreted it. The regulation was not rescinded. It still stands in place for those born in that time period. It is still valid today. As far as what the courts would do ? Who knows ? Are they looking out for their own self interests or the rule of law ? Regardless of that, if it is shown he was naturalized, he had to have known it. By putting a fake COLB online claiming all the info was true and using it in support of raising funds, he is guilty of wire fraud - a federal offense.

Yes I expect them to follow the letter of the law.
