Exactly! You can't maintain a republican form of government unless the large majority of the citizenry is honorable. Would be tyrants of all stripes understand this.
That's true, and government agencies weren't in the business of issuing them. In fact, current BC issuing agencies, like state and local departments of health, probably didn't exist anywhere in the country.
Yet it seems as if most people knew their exact dates and places of birth, and could be trusted with telling the truth about such information. For example, historians have few disputes about the birth dates and birth places of the early American presidents and other prominent early American individuals.
When citizens are honorable, less government intrusion into their personal lives is needed. Suppose that's the moral of this little piece of history.
The Constitution includes no requirement that specific documents be provided to prove eligibility. *(Sherman Logan)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Sherman Logan, what do you want? A Constitution the size of the Manhattan phone book?
No number of laws will coral evil. Definitions of even the finest points will NOT deter those who choose to subvert them. The Constitution is NOT sufficient to maintain an orderly society even if every individual word were tightly defined. . Ultimately it merely a scrap of paper with faded ink.
Fundamentally, whether our experiment in self rule succeeds or fails depends upon honest citizens or good will.
The Constitution is**meaningless* without people of good will who are willing to honestly abide by its original meaning.
Sherman are you on the side of evil or are you a person of good will? Today is the day to choose.
Where’s your proof?
I actually agree.
My original post was to a poster who claimed that the Constitution required that Obama provide his original birth certificate or other documentation.
My point is that it doesn’t.

My post was about goodwill and honesty.
Goodwill and honesty demands it.
Are you siding with evil or will you stand with those of goodwill and honesty?
I am overflowing with goodwill and honesty.
I suspect, from your POV, the problem is that I believe Obama is an NBC.
A very poor president, but elected perfectly properly.

This is the first sentence of the videos description.

The video starts out with some content from obamasnippets.com, which, of course is contrived. And yet, there seems to be a synthetic truth about what the president says.
Lying about the Constitution is anti-American and you should cut it out.
I agree that lying about the Constitution is anti-American.
Would you care to provide evidence I’m lying? We have a difference of opinion, but in your world is everyone who disagrees with you a liar?
You have a remarkably high opinion of your own wisdom.
Your claim that the word “natural” is “purely stylistic” is a hardcore anti-American lie, one you are using to justify British communist usurpation. You should be ashamed of yourself; but you are probably incapable of such.
Interesting set of values you have there.
You claim, no doubt, to be an American patriot, yet you appear to despise upwards of 3/4 of your fellow citizens.
Your hardcore anti-American lies indicate hatred for each and every American. Please stop projecting your faults on to others.
