Excellent post. I agree 100% with everything you said other than that I think there are only naturalized and natural born citizens in the USA - and have had that opinion for a long time, and I wasn't going to change it just because of 0bama. I too would like clarification on the issue.

To me there were two thrusts of “not qualified” movement I supported -

1) Can we GET a ruling on exactly what a NBC is? I would LOVE to be shown to be wrong by the SCOTUS and that there is some third category of citizen that is neither natural born or naturalized.

2) Can we have the State of birth DOH send over a COLB directly to the ballot issuing State? Numerous legislative efforts towards this got drowned in “Long form madness” (conflicting with the Full Faith and Credit Clause) - but it is a worthwhile law - and hard to believe that such a mechanism wasn't in place previously.

I knew that asking “Where is the Birth Certificate?” was a one way ticket to nowhere - and I predicted it would blow up in some faces.

I knew that anyone saying “Just release the Long Form and this ALL GOES AWAY!” was either delusional or disingenuous as there was no way this issue was going to go away: it would be said to be a fraud - and the argument would move on to the NBC requirement.

Glad I was shown to be right on that now instead of in October!

Thanks for the good work!
