Get your state to require a birth certificate from anyone who wishes to run for POTUS in that state.
Then, Obama has to explain why he won't follow the law.
It hurts him with the voters.
It helps us win at the polls.

After McGovern lost in 1972, the losers in charge in the RAT party said ‘’no thanks we’re not going to get out of the way someone else lead, we’re staying’’, been going more socialist ever since. They just waited for old line demos to die off or leave politics.

If they don’t rule on it (and I’m not holding my breath), it will set precedence and it will never be ruled on for anyone.

Most of us can’t get our states to do anything.....I’ve written my senators and congresspersons but they don’t care what I think..... they do what the rats tell them to do.

Here on the left coast people like me are being held hostage.

"May the wrath of God be upon the SCOTUS without mercy."

And upon the usurper who defiles the office and the trust of those he was elected to serve not rule.

Actually, there are several types of citizenship.
I direct you to the application for a US Passport, if you do not believe me.
It is entirely possible to be a Natural Born Citizen and be born in a foreign country.
However, at the time Obama was born, his mother would have had to have been 19. She was 18.

Not once did the SCOTUS rule Obama was eligible or even consider whether he was or not, rather they dismissed each case on the technicality of plaintiff's lack of standing to file the case.

Who has standing? That's what I'd like to know. Near as I can figure, it would have to be one of the members of the Electoral College, a sitting congress person or a senator.

If the democrats running the show know that they could get rid of BO at any time they so choose, how much power would that give them to control the executive branch. How scary is that? Of course a republican could do the same thing, but look who is in the line of succession.

I’m a defender of the Second Amendment too. Protecting the Second Amendment is job one. I just found out on FR tonight that my lame dem Governor has hidden an increase in the background check “fee” in his commie budget! It’s going from 8 dollars to 30. If the Second Amendment falls, they all fall. It IS the most important God given right we have, as you know. It is the number one issue to watch over during this time of socialist occupation of the White House. They want ‘em but they’re not taking mine.

It is kind of a litmus test.

More so than any other topic or position, discussing it seems to reveal the inner truth of who a politician is.

Key here is; In Obama's case, his father was technically a British subject at the time, whose life U.S. authorities lacked "jurisdiction over", regardless of where Jr. was physically birthed.

Having jurisdiction over, is not precisely synonymous with being present in a jurisdiction. Mexican nationals birthing children here, are granted citizenship by Mexico (as I understand it to be) regardless of how we in the U.S. simultaneously practice a sort of "good enough" mentality concerning U.S. citizenship for those born here, which sort of thing gives rise to possible split alliegences.

La Raza (The Race), anyone..?

A natural-born citizen is a U.S. citizen at birth. If Obama was born in the U.S., he is a natural-born citizen.

Not at all, see post 68!!!

Maybe we should quit allowing something like automatic citizenship towards parents who are not legally residents, while we’re at it. It may seem a bridge too far to mention it at this time, but what matters most in Obama’s case, is what the laws where, at the time and place of his birth.

Be careful what you wish for. If Present Potato Head is not Constitutionally eligible to be Present of the United States, that also means he is not Constitutionally restricted to serving only two terms.

You sound like a total Jackass. If he is found, by the Scotus, to not be eligible for the office of President, he cannot run for two terms, constitutionally, and his first term will be null and void. You win the prize for the most convoluted statement of the day, not to mention just plain nonsensical.
