We agree that the Constitution is the highest law of the land, and then we part company. The Constitution sets forth the requirement that a president must be a natural born citizen,
***And that’s all that’s necessary.
but doesn’t define, in detail, what that means nor a process or form of proof for assuring compliance.
***The constitution doesn’t do that with very many issues at all. F’rinstance, it says we have the right to keep & bear arms, basically one or 2 sentences. It’s the framework upon which there are tons of laws built. For you to require that there be laws in place where there already is framework that’s adequate (like the 3rd amendment) is thoroughly disingenuous. Basically, it’s another indication that you’re a CoLB troll.
Without that, compliance could mean taking the word of the politician that he meets the requirement.
***Bull Shiite. Otherwise, why even have the 20th amendment?
To define and spell out in law what compliance means does not put “procedures in priority over the constitution”,
***Yes it does.
it merely sets forth how the Constitutional requirement must be met.
***And, like the 3rd amendment, sometimes the only thing we have is the bare bones constitutional requirement. Just because there aren’t laws & procedures in place for telling an army general to buzz off doesn’t mean that the constitution doesn’t prevail.
Obama did release his CoLB that states he was born in Hawaii.
***Oh, geez. Amazing. Dog returning to vomit type of troll stuff. Obama released a forged electronic document. That means anything else he does along these lines will be held to close scrutiny. Because he’s a freepin’ liar, that’s why. Producing a forgery towards a requirement is basically de facto proof that one doesn’t qualify.
You claim that’s not good enough to prove Constitutional compliance to your satisfaction. The logical fallacy is yours.
***What? What is the claim? When did I mention my own satisfaction? And what is the classical fallacy being used, supposedly? It appears likely that you don’t even know what logical fallacies ARE.
Belief that the CoLB scanned and published on the internet is a forgery is a matter of faith.
Sandra Ramsey Lines writes; Upon a cursory inspection of the internet COLB, one aspect of the image that is clearly questionable is the obliteration of the Certificate No. That number is a tracking number that would allow anyone to ask the question, “Does this number refer to the Certification of Live Birth for the child Barack Hussein Obama II?" It would not reveal any further personal information; therefore, there would be no justifiable reason for oliterating it.
Well, the number is not blacked out on the images posted on the factcheck site. Check it out for yourself
