You said — Obama is NOT going to be removed from office over his birth certificate. I don’t like it, but we have to deal with the reality of the situation.

There is a bit of *insanity* involved with some in this group, when saying that Obama has to show them his birth certificate. For the first thing, they cannot even recognize that there is *no legal requirement* for a candidate to show his birth certificate. And for the second thing — when there *is a solution* that will solve that problem (enact a state law...) — those same people will *oppose a state law* saying something to the effect that “no stinkin’ law is needed” for Obama to show me his birth certificate... LOL...

That’s what I call “going insane” — which I think happened to a lot of people on November 5th...

Here we go again. Really racking up those dollars from Obama aren’t you.

Let me ask you one simple question.

It takes one sentence.

Answer me with one sentence.

Show me the legal definition that allows a natural born citizen to have one foreign citizen parent if born on US soil.

You're correct, there is no law requiring him or anyone to show their birth certificate to become President.

There is however a legal, Constitutional, requirement that he be a natural born citizen. If sufficient evidence can be obtained tending to cast doubt on his natural born status (Like his book which says his father was a British national at the time of his birth), to cast doubt on his and the DNC's affidavits, then a Court can order a birth certificate be produced to prove that he is indeed natural born. If his BC shows his father to be the Kenyan national Barack Hussien Obama, as he says it does, or shows that he was born outside the US of a non US Citizen father, then he's probably not natural born in the first case, and definitely not in the later case. On the basis of that evidence, and arguments for both sides, the Court would rule on that question, one way or the other. Then it would be appealed, one way or the other. Likely the Supreme Court would rule regardless of the original and appellate decisions, one way or the other.
