So what you are saying is that if he isn't a Natural Born Citizen our government and courts will not expose the fact that some one that may not even be a citizen holds the highest office in this land and with it the power to unleash Nuclear Armageddon upon the world.

Our Government could easily expose the fact (if it is a fact). Elect a Republican majority to Congress and have thenm subpoena the birth records from Hawaii. Our courts won't touch this issue, just as they wouldn't rule on the constitutionality of the Vietnam war. Not out of cowardice (in either case), but because they are sensitive to the fact that they are the only unelected branch of Government, and because they are constrained by 220 years of precedent as to the limits of their jurisdiction.
