Gee, I’ve never seen that phrasing in the Constitution. Could you point me to where it discusses “citizen parents”, please.

Minor v. Happersett said the definition of natural born citizen is extraconstitutional, saying ..."all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives, or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners."

The Governor of Hawaii, The Registrar of Records of Hawaii, the Attorney General of Hawaii and the Director of the Hawaii Department of Health have all confirmed Obama’s birth in Hawaii, plus he’s got a legal document from the state of Hawaii which says that he was born there.

Well, no actually they haven't. The closest anyone has come was the director of the DOH, but she didn't base her claim on a birth record. Ouch!

This whole Hawaiian scene is beyond weird.

The Hawaiian Uniform Information Practices Act - UIPA is a sweeping state-level FOIA-type law. The DOH is absolutely required to release any documentation that caused them to state that Obama was (a) born in Hawaii, and (b) (as if it were their call) also state that he was a "Natural Born Citizen!"

The Hawaiian state office that monitors implementation of the act has indicated that they must release the documentation. Now it turns out there isn't any? WTH? Over.

The position that they have taken in regard to BHO, Jr.'s privacy is also patently untenable. Once he posted that COLB (or whatever the hell it is) on the internet, all "privacy bets are off." At any rate, the COLB is an abstract. A short-cut, not the whole story.

BTW, FReepers led the charge on the ground there. Amazing that the "Birther" lawyers didn't figure it out!
