“...we should assume he was until there is proof otherwise...” So you think that I can go down to the Passport Office and get my passport as they “...will assume I am a U.S. citizen unless there is proof otherwise...” I don’t think so...I appreciate the complete nature of your “natural born citizen” analysis, but I cannot accept this phrase as being legitimate. The burden of proof lies with the applicant, not the other way.
You will note that not one birth certificate conspirator has questioned the quotations I posted earlier. There is no doubt, as both Morrison Waite and John Bingham told us. Some part of the public does not want to discuss truth.
How likely do you think it is that should Obama continue to campaign - he may not - he will bring out the birth certificate he told us about in one of his books? Chester Arthur used the same ploy, hiding his birth records, to distract the inquisitive from looking into the naturalization of Arthur's Irish father (which didn't occur until Arthur was fourteen).
If Trump doesn't clearly address the real issue, natural born citizenship, his purpose will have been to separate those with real concern for our Constitution, those who understand why our framers required that our president be a natural and not a naturalized citizen, from the radical fringe preoccupied with manufactured mystery around Obama’s documents. He will be playing Ross Perot.
Obamaprobably was a mediocre student, may have falsified Illinois Bar documents, probably has falsified his military registration. But he has told us he ia not a natural born citizen, and never told us he was. That fact, repeated and repeated, invalidates his presidency. It is the determining issue, which is being obscured by completely unnecessary conjecture about birth certificates.
I believe he has a birth certificate, and when he produces it the embarrassment will silence the public about the real and important issue, the real concern which caused John Jay to ask Washington to be sure natural born citizenship was in the Constitution, about which Jay wrote in the first four Federalist Papers - allegiance to our republic and our Constitution. Barack did not inherit allegiance for our republic - jus sanguinis - from his parents. He inherited hatred for individual freedom. He inherited a belief in forced redistribution - From each according to his ability and to each according to his needs. Our framers tried to protect us and we are being destroyed, most likely by the half of society which depends upon redistribution for survival. Our governemt workers and beneficiaries of transfer payments want Obama to stay. It doesn't matter that he is intentionally destoying what is left of the private sector.
