Look if she looks at the document and concludes its genuine then the issues is Settled as far as she is concerned.

There is nothing else to be gained from further questions, we cannot be in the position of denying evident in front of us.

Obama was a Jackass for withholding this information for 2 years. But if Bachmann looks at a document that she judges to be genuine as proving natural born status then there is nothing more Bachmann can possibly ask for.

A COLB doesn't prove "natural born citizen" status. Many people are confusing the issue by saying "Obama is not an American citizen." Whether or not he is currently a US citizen is not of relevance here. The issue is whether he is a "natural born citizen" in the legal meaning of the Constitution.

The "citizen" vs "natural born citizen" issue is a common misconception. The framers of our Constitution used the legal phrase "natural born citizen" ONLY for the office of the President. Nobody questions "citizenship" any more than Schwarznegger (gov of CA and born in Austria) or Granholm (former gov of MI and born in Canada) are citizens. Nevertheless, they are not "natural born citizens."

There is good legal evidence that "natural born citizen" requires TWO AMERICAN CITIZEN PARENTS. Regardless of where Obama was born, he would NOT be a "natural born citizen" by that definition. It is beyond question that his father was a citizen of the UK, making him a dual citizen at best.

"Where's the Birth Certificate, The case that Barrack Obama is not Eligible to be President."" by Dr. Jerome Corsi is already #2 on Amazon and it won't be released till next month. Expect a devastating report.

"When Donald Trump said he sent PIs to Hawaii to get to the bottom of all this, he meant this book," declares an insider."

If you take a good look at their backgrounds neither Obama nor Bachman are trained document examiners.

Obama only imagines he has something that''s good. Michelle is really in no position to dispute it, whatever it is.

Now, about the Natural Born Citizen clause, there's dispute over what it means. That can be settled with legislation. Most of the "legal references" seem to be opinions in law text books ~ hardly the most authoritative sort of thing to point to.

Frankly, I'd do it this way, you have to have an up to date genealogy back about 10 generations ~ and we'd start there with discussions of "natural born".

Did you just accidentally bump into this controversy about Obama's birth certificate and his alleged eligibility, or do you truly not understand what Bachmann just conceded to?

The piece of paper Stephanopolous showed her was nothing more than a photo of Obama's forged COLB. It's the same piece of junk that's been floating around cyberspace since the 2008 campaign.

That thing has been thoroughly debunked for over two years now. What do you think all the clamoring for Obama's birth certificate is about?

For Pete's sake, try to keep up.
