Hmmm...my sources include legislation passed at the time the Constitution was being written, and the US Supreme Court ruling in...1898. Or Lynch, in 1844, or Kent’s Commentaries on American Law from 1826, or Blackstone’s Commentaries from 1803.

You and I have gone around and round on this before. You are still wrong and I am still right. Obama was not the president is not now the president and will never be the president because he is not a natural born citizen. Future histories of this nation will list the years 09 through 12 as the years without a president. They will cite the resurgence of this nation as being a result of the purge of Fabian socialists from American politics.

"...any place within the king's dominions may make a subject born, but any place within the king's dominions without obedience can never produce a natural subject." Coke, 1608
From WKA, Calvin's Case, and Dicey it IS NOT birth within the realm that determines who is and is not natural-born. It is PERMANENT and EXCLUSIVE ALLEGIANCE.
Obama does NOT meet that requirement.
