Then I realized he's just being a good little toad, as usual, and providing an assist to the farcical Obama administration.
In fact, there are conflicting holdings that only further compound the problem of understanding this clause. United States v. Wong Kim Ark(1898) indicates that foreign born children of Americans are not natural born. But in contrast, Weedin v. Chin Bow (1927) holds that "at common law the children of our citizen born abroad were always natural born citizen from the standpoint of this government."

The Obama natural born citizenship scandal is entering into a new phase and quickly escalating.
John Dean, here, publishes an article involving the very controversy surrounding Obama, but.....ONLY MENTIONS THE ISSUE AS RELATED TO MCCAIN, ROMNEY, AND OTHERS THAT WERE AFFECTED BY THIS ISSUE.
No mention of Obama in this article, on October 8? Why the hell not??
Never mind - article is dated Oct 8, 2004
