The increasingly popular term for them is "Birthers" -- the indignant, frantic, seething fringe Republicans who are persuaded that there is strong doubt about where President Barack Obama was born and, therefore, strong doubt about the legitimacy of his presidency.
(snip)
Even assuming Obama was born in Kenya despite the considerable evidence that he was born in Hawaii, that five-year provision in the law was intended, pretty clearly, to prevent a person from claiming U.S. citizenship when he was born in another country to parents who were long-time residents of that country, simply on the grounds that one of his parents was still, technically a U.S. citizen.
Say "Jim" is born in the U.S., lives here until he's 11, moves with his parents to Germany, comes of age there, marries a German woman and, when he's 25, has a child. As a matter of national policy and common sense, we don't want Jim's child to be able to claim automatic U.S. citizenship -- he is born in Germany to long-time residents of Germany. Declaring him a U.S. citizen is fundamentally absurd.
The thinking behind the law seems to be that if Jim spent at least five of his 10 years after age 14 in the U.S. before moving to Germany, he has been sufficiently "Americanized" that his children shall be considered U.S. citizens.
It's fairly clear to me and, should push come to shove, will be fairly clear to the courts and to Congress, that the law was not intended to be a "gotcha!" moment used to deny citizenship to the children of life-long U.S. citizens in their late teens who happen to be out of the country when they give birth.

I am IN!
Now how do we go about doing this?
Time to remind these a$$hats who they work for.
I wish I knew!!!! Any attorneys out there that can chime in on this one?????
“Look for alot more of this type of argument in the weeks ahead.”
This is exactly the left’s strategy on a number of issues. G Beck was talking about this type of strategy during his radio program today. He basically said that when the Monica Lewinsky story first broke, the left denied, denied and denied. When it was evident that they could no longer deny it, they switch to “it doesn’t matter that he had sexual relations with her” mode. That is exactly what is happening here.
I agree that very similar stories will begin to appear. “Well, it doesn’t matter that he was born in Kenya, that’s just a hyper literal translation of the constitution and no reasonable court would do anything about it.”

I have not yet seen big Japanese coverage on this Birth Certificate (BC) over here yet, but I know how to (or I know people who) can throw it in the feeding trough of Japanese journalism, and kick it up a few notches if needed. I know a few good weeklies and monthlies that would love to kick up the dust on this and smoke this phony out good.

If he has an American BC to present. (I'm not saying he does or doesn't)
“President Biden. The Horror the horror.”
But imagine the one-liners we could enjoy:)
"Silence can only be equated with fraud where there is a legal or moral duty to speak or where an inquiry left unanswered would be intentionally misleading." United States v Prudder, 424 F. 2d 1021(5thCir. 1970),cert. denied, 400 U.S. 831 (1970)
So when is Eric Holder going to tell Obama he has to show us his Long Form Birth Certificate?
they are caving folks...obama’s birth certificate could equal monica lewinsky...hopefully with better results this time
Obama is cleaning his house of the Secret Service, one down and probably more to follow.
I bet all tours will be canceled soon and one night there will be a pack of pit bulls on the grounds.
What evidence that he was born in Hawaii? There is no evidence he was born in Hawaii.
Well said!
It’s a snowball........
From your keyboard to God’s ears.....
If that is the plan, it is way past time to present the BC.
Sorry, I don't buy it.
With all the subversion he is trying to get through, he doesn't need this issue.
He has spent $2 million hiding his birth certificate. Who here would spend a measely 2 dollars to hide their birth certificate? Why can’t people see the obvious? If he has nothing to hide, WHY SPEND MILLIONS HIDING IT ?!?!?!?!
