Supercat, the United States has never had other than someone perceived as a natural born citizen win an election. There is no law against anyone running for office. Some states, such as California, will not put an ineligible candidate on the ballot, dempending upon the Sec. Of Sate for that state. One of the Black Panther, either Bobby Seale or Eldride Cleaver, ran for president but was under 35 years old, and was removed from the ballot.

The Republican opponent of Woodrow Wilson was found to have been born, like Obama, to have been born of a British parent. He was exposed by Democract Attorney Breckinridge Long, and exposed in the largest legal newspaper in the country. Had Charles Evans Hughes won he would absolutely have been challenged. The Chicago Legal News article was thorough, full of cititations, and explained some of the legal history of natural born citizenship. You can find the article on ScribD by searching for Breckenridge Long or Charles Evans Hughes.

There is no vagueness about the requirement. It has been discusses at least a dozen times in supreme court cases. Evan Charles Evans Hughes, who hoped we would ignore it. was later appointed Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, and cited Morrison Waite's Minor v. Happersett decision when explaining that Marie Elg, born to naturalized Swedish Citizens in New York, but brought to Sweden as a child, was declared eligible, after residing for 14 years in the U.S. to run for president. She was a citizen by nature, and that could not be taken away by our State Department. The case from 1939,was Perkins v. Elg.

Barack is not eligible. We can ignore it just as we ignore other provisions of the Constitution, just as Obama ignores the unconstitutionality of his Heallthcare bill, and the provisions of the Constitutions which some of us still like may be negated by the opinions of others. We will have no Constitution. That is the the goal of the far left. If the Constitution has meaning, Obama is not our President. He has come straight at us, challenging us with his having been naturalized. If we have no constitution, whomever is paid the most, or threatened, will pass the laws they tell him/her to pass and freedom will be gone.

A person born of foreign parents would generally have a recognizable claim of citizenship to the parent's country of origin, no? Consequently, such a person would not be a citizen exclusively of the U.S.

Regardless of where Obama was born, if he was recognized as a citizen of Indonesia, that might be easier to prove than his birthplace, and be just as much of a disqualifier.
