So who gets to decide what qualifies as Natural Born Citizen? Do you think the “deciders” are going to disqualify Obama? Or is it much more likely if they even hear the case that whatever Natural Born Citizen meant in the past will become equivalent to the statutory definition of citizen.

It was decided long ago, when our Constitution was ratified.

The question now, is whether Constitutional originalists or transnational citizens of the world win out, as far as enforcement of the Constitution, or relegating it to the ash heap of history.

Barack Hussein Obama serving a full term of office unchallenged will create precedent. The Presidency of our nation will be opened to the world. We will no longer be self-governing, and will no longer be in control of our own destinies, or able to affect change in our own self interest. We'll be beholden to ... what?

Who knows.

Only the good Lord knows how this will turn out. One thing for sure is that the deciding factor in Constitutional issues should ALWAYS be the "original intent". No subsequent court ruling should ever override what was intended by the Founders. Ideally we should have either a Supreme Court decision or a Constitutional Amendment to define the unique American citizenship of Natural Born.

Too many folks are unwilling to accept the fact that eligibility to be President of the United States is NOT a civil rights issue.
