Weird is the best word to describe the proffered ‘docs’ and statements by officials to date on Steve Dunham’s (to use just one of his aka’s) birth circumstance and proof of citizenship.
The COLB photo images and the circumstances for their singular unique appearance are weird. The statements by Hawaiian officials are weird for their lack of clarity and supporting records, but also for the active persistence in same obfuscatory effort, up to and including the ‘vexatious requestor’ law. The proof of marriage of Stanley Ann Dunham to Barack Obama is weird for being undocumented and unwitnessed, and inconsistent with timelines described the movements and activities of both persons in the time frame.
The weirdness maximum is what Arthur Conan Doyle called “The dog that didn’t bark.” Why hasn’t anyone in the major media or official government followed up on clear obvious weirdness. If Sarah Palin’s birth legend was as weird it would have been hunted down to every dot of a ‘i’ on every document and every shaky lead would have been chased down.
To me it is a very coherent construction dealing with two seperate and distinct situations.

Try looking at it with both commas removed ...
No Person except a natural born Citizen or a Citizen of the United States at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution shall be eligible to the Office of President.
Then try looking at it with both commas and one excerpt removed ...
No Person except a natural born Citizen at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution shall be eligible to the Office of President.
Then realize that no one living in 1787 is living today.
I take it as it was written and believing the Founders were men of letters who knew how to construct a sentence using phrases, commas, etc. You are correct to realize a person living in 1787 is not living today. As for me, I believe however, the Constitution is still alive.
If that's in the Constitution, why didn't you know it then?
You can call her a “nutcase” if you like BUT I would stack her credentials up against yours anytime and be happy to see her come out WAY on top!
She's always been good at getting to the nub of an issue.
I'm convinced that the courts will not get involved in this case. It's all going to depend on Speaker Boehner once he takes over the House in January. If he subpoenas the appropriate records, we'll have answers. If he doesn't (some folks around here have said Boehner's afraid to subpoena the birth records), then the issue is for all practical purposes dead.
I urge everyone to email Speaker Boehner and demand that he not abandon the constitution. Subpoena all of the birth records!
As BHO, Jr. himself admitted in 2006, one need not be a Natural Born Citizen to stand for the Senate. There is a scale of requirements for elected federal offices in the COTUS. The only office that requires one to be a Natural Born Citizen is that of the Presidency.
In fact, the phrase "Natural Born citizen" appears nowhere else. If BHO, Jr. were indeed born in Hawaii, he would be a "NATIVE" born citizen. BHO, Jr. had a choice of British, American, or Kenyan citizenship upon reaching his majority. A "Natural Born Citizen," would have no such choice.
That is my opinion. The other opinion is that by, IMHO, a faulty read of the 14th Amendment, a "Native," IS a "Natural." If the SCOTUS does not settle the question, the COTUS will become an entirely irrelevant document.
Yabut, he was born in Hawaii. O'Reilly says so. So, it's all OK. Just because the FBI screening process for Federal employees would get him turned down as a Park Ranger doesn't mean he can't be President! It's the only Federal Job he could get.
Look at the bright side. Rod Serling didn't live to see his Twilight Zone series surpassed for weirdness.
This entire interesting time through which we are living reminds me of a wise-guy pal I worked with as a kid.
When our mean, old (35 at least) boss asked why he was late all the time, my pal said,
"I have to come in late because I leave early."
Cognitive Dissonance is Obama Logic.
Merry Christmas!
When has Alan Keyes ever said Obama isn't a natural born citizen because of his Father?
