“Well, actually it is prima facie evidence of fraud”
Yes, exactly. However for practical political purposes, too many of the public are going to brush off the fraud if it turns out that BHO was still born in the US.
Why fight that battle when he clearly fails the ‘natural born’ test?
Because fraud is much more understandable to 98% of the population. There is no legal ambiguity about fraud. There is about NBC. (I'll admit that I do believe the Framers meant child of parent citizens, but I'm aware enough to know that the issue isn't quite so clear cut as some would see it. I even think that besides just meaning born here, it could also be interpreted as child of A citizen parent, especially in Obama's case where his now supposed father had nothing to do with his upbringing.)
