The Constitution says that only native-born Americans can be president. This is incorrect. The Constitution in fact provides that a person must be a natural born citizen in order to be eligible to serve as President. It is not incorrect because precedent has been set that states there is no difference between natural and native.
The term citizen, was used in the constitution as a word, the meaning of which was already established and well understood. And the constitution itself contains a direct recognition of the subsisting common law principle, in the section which defines the qualification of the President
The only standard which then existed, of a natural born citizen, was the rule of the common law, and no different standard has been adopted since. Suppose a person should be elected President who was native born, but of alien parents, could there be any reasonable doubt that he was eligible under the constitution? I think not.

Mitt Romney said on Friday in his native state of Michigan that, "No one has ever asked to see my birth certificate. They know that this is the place that we were born and raised." Any more calls for his tax forms from the commies?
Didn't think so.

I believe he had bigger fish to fry. If he started off that way, the press would have had a field day with him on the birther issue, this way, he could get out the more important information in his movie. Insightful comment. Thank you.

For a man that supposed to usher in a new age of government transparency he sure seems to be very opaque.

I was born the same year as Obama, and lived in CT. The first five digits of my SS # are the same as his. I didn’t apply for a SS # at birth, but did so when I was 14, so as to be able to work. That would probably make his number as having been applied for, in roughly the same time frame, give or take a year or two. Mine was applied for in 1975.
