You hit it in the head.
If there wasn’t a HUGE problem around this issue the BC would have been shown and this would have been put to bed.
A ego like BO’s couldn’t resist the opportunity to grab this and slam it in people’s face. If he produced it he would discredit half the country and gain huge political power. There is NO WAY he wouldn’t produce it.
With all that said I still think there are valid points about “natural born citizen” and I think the American people deserve a clear position from SCOTUS on this.
It just seems weird to me that to be an intern at the WH you would have to go through more hoops and validation than you do to get the electoral votes from a state.
