Both parents U.S. citizens + Born in U.S. = Natural Born Citizen. The burden of proof is on Obama, Soetoro, or whatever his real name is, to prove he is Natural Born, not on others to prove he is not.

“The burden of proof is on Obama, Soetoro, or whatever his real name is, to prove he is Natural Born, not on others to prove he is not.”

You may wish this were the case, but it is not. The Constitution specifies no process for certifying presidential qualifications.

"The burden of proof is on Obama, Soetoro, or whatever his real name is, to prove he is Natural Born, not on others to prove he is not."

Then it's all a moot point - as so far, no one has taken the challenge to a point where he has to prove anything. Status quo is obama friend and protector at this time.

All of the birther discussion is for naught if it is not pushed hard enough to make obama prove it.

He's laughing his ass off at us.

Thanks for the link, Mike.

Shooter points out:
The Constitution specifies no process for certifying presidential qualifications.

That may be correct.
However, 3 USC 15 most certainly does. The blatant disregard of that statute by the Congress during the 2009 Joint Session, most particularly in the face of the public's outcry over O's eligibility, was a failure of each member to defend the Constitution. That charge especially applies to the Republican members.

The burden of proof has always been on Obama, but someone has to request he submit that proof. The Joint Session was the time and place.

Shooter, my apology. I am in a rush to get out the door.
It was, of course, swain_forkbeard who made the statement re the Constitution.
