Many thanks for your concise and easy to read explanations of the citizenship rules.
I have a question on this part of your post
..”Now I don’t advocate that Governor Walker go around telling people Barry was born in Kenya but it is important as a lawyer’s issue at this point that the best evidence is that he was in fact born in Mombasa Kenya at the Coast Provincial General Hospital.”
; what evidence is there for it, was it eyewitnesses to documents, statements, or what?

Ping to this part of David’s post, and question concerning it:
Were there eyewitnesses’ testimony/affidavits to either them having seen the document itself, or having heard statements that it existed?
No. You kind of miss the point.
As to Barry, the guy presently in the White House, there is no documentary or other physical evidence.
Point is that his oral statements; and the campaign document posted above in #94 are evidence--they are what lawyers call statements against interest by a party; when the party makes a statement tending to prove facts that contradict his position (his current position being that he is eligible to hold the office of President under Article II Section 1, because he was born in the United States) those statements themselves are evidence.
In this case, those statements are the only evidence of his place of birth (the birth certificates they have published are digital fakes; there is no evidence to support the position of Hawaii Dept of Health). Thus from the lawyers perspective, those statements are the best evidence of his place of birth--Kenya.
In fact, I do not believe he was born in Kenya.
But when there is an ultimate legal contest over the issue which will happen at some point, those statements will put the burden of proving where he was in fact born on Barry (which I believe was outside the United States under circumstances in which he did not become a citizen at the time of his birth thus proving his ineligibility to hold the office of President).
