“There has never been any provision that both parents (or either parent, for that matter) be a US citizen for a child born on US soil to be a “natural born” citizen. Being born here makes one a natural born citizen, and always has.”
You are in error. There is a very definite difference between being a citizen and being a “natural born” one. This term, “natural born” was placed in the constitution for a very specific reason...and it had a very diffenent meaning at the time of the constitution. It is only those that want to “change history” that argue otherwise.
Would someone here please explain the diffence to this individual.
By the way - the head of the Hawaii dept of vital records IS NOT a constitutional scholor and had NO business stating that President Obama is “natural born.” To say he was born in Hawaii was the full extent of what that person should have said. Actually, I believe this statement should form the basis for further inquiries into what is being hidden.
Obama could be hiding something, but I don’t know what he may be hiding. I don’t know what is on his birth certificate. I don’t know who his father is, since that information is on the bc that I have not seen. I don’t know where he was born for the same reason.
Everyone here is in the same boat with me regarding the sentences above.
Under our system, Obama claimed he met the eligibility requirements to run for president. He was certified by 50 Secretaries of State as eligible. He has been elected president.
Under our Constitution, he is innocent until proven guilty, and he does not have to incriminate himself. So, even if his birth certificate would show him to have been ineligible, he does not have to release it.
I have seen no documentary evidence that Obama was ineligible to run for president. I’ll get interested in this subject as soon as I see some good evidence that he was ineligible. I’ve read the various “evidence” posted on FR. None of what I have read is actual evidence in my opinion, but I’m not a lawyer. Apparently no judge has been impressed by anything brought up in the various lawsuits either.
Also, Obama has not spent any of his own money on these lawsuits. His campaign paid for defenses during the campaign, and WE are paying (through the Dept of Justice) with our tax dollars to defend the ones brought forward since the election.
I challenge anyone to show proof that Obama has paid out “a million dollars” of his own money defending against these suits. I will make a public apology if someone can show me some proof.
I’m an agnostic on this issue.
