Was nice of the Dr. to include his legal opinion since place of birth is only one of the criteria.
I have read different interpretations and sources posted here on the definition of "natural born." This is the first time I have heard that specific one. My conclusion, after reading the various explanations, is that a court should consder tht eissue of his father and make a determination.
Regarding the birth, I'd like to know what's on the certificate and what it says about the candidate. Has he lied about his life in order tio glorify himself to the electorate? Which hospital has a record of the birth? Are theere any witnesses to the birth or the first few days after? This is what a thorough investigative reporter should have done last year and the gaps in information that a records officer has not provided and some of which he cannot provide.
A broader issue for me is that public officials should provide their school, passport, and birth records routinely or at least when requested. I believe we are entitled to know what we can about presidential and other candidates. I would include their school writings. This is not a legal issue per se, but the media should have demanded it a year ago. Anyone refusing to release that information should be shunned by consensus in favor of more transparent candidates. Since this was not done, IMO, we need to continue to demand it now. Truth is the higher value.
