Well, the Constitution says nothing about the long form, that’s true. This is a moral argument. Does anyone have a moral right to hold the highest office in the land while concealing about 20 kinds of vital records, and fighting efforts in court to reveal them? (Especially in a case where one parent was a foreign citizen and international travel prior to the birth was not unlikely.) If no court compels it, I hope that at least by 2012, several states will have passed laws requiring documentation of natural-born citizen status with a long-form birth certificate.
The Constitution was written by honorable men for honorable men. It is dishonorable to conceal your past.
There are so many I cant count the number of birth-certificaters that throw that “I am defending the constitution and don't care about anything else” crap. At least you are not trying that.
I think you got a pretty crappy moral argument. The first AA president (elected by a wide margin) and the moral argument is he shouldn't be president because he hasn't shown you his long form BC??? Not policy, not actions, not elections but his BC. Moral??
This is why no one will touch this birth-certificater stuff. This is poison
