Barack Obama was born a British Citizen. That he was also born an American Citizen does not mitigate.

I don’t know how anyone gets past that.

British Citizenship at birth was unquestionably something the Framers excluded by their use of the restrictor “Natural Born Citizen” in Article II.

Were it not excluded, there would have been no need for the specific grandfathering of those who were American Citizens at the time the Constitution was adopted.

There are some who refuse to be reasoned with. These are they who want the Constitution to be enforced when convenient and ignored if it isn’t convenient or would cause strife from some lawless quarter like nasty thuggish ACORNs.

The issue is NOT Obama's father's citizenship. it is WHERE Obama WAS BORN. Donofrio should concentrate on Obama's PLACE OF BIRTH, NOT HIS FATHER's CITIZENSHIP.

Father's citizenship is crucial to being natural born citizen 
This is why the first few Presidents who were born here as British subjects of British fathers were given an exception. The exception being that they were alive when the Constitution was ratified

Obama was born on US soil of a British subject father same as George Washington
Get it now?

Donofrio deserves a fair hearing. Yet we have Freepers who are very sheeple like
Michelle Malkin also blew it and said we are truthers of "the right"
Equating us with 911 truthers

Screw ACORN let the chips fall where they may. We have financial chaos so if Donofrio produces some kind of Black backlash ..... so what?

If 10,000 people had marched on the Supreme Court Donofrio would get a fair hearing. At this point it's doubtful.
