If that's all we want to emphasize, we get bogged down in debate about the intent of the framers, and anyone who wants to ignore the eligibility issue can just choose not to care.

Agree 100% with that assessment. The NBC angle is a red herring, a distraction. And, in the end, either irrelevant or unproductive.

There are better lines of investigation.

You totally miss the point !!!!
The true birth certificate IS THE KEY to the eligibility issue.
It obviously has information that would disqualify him.

I doubt that the Obama handlers had any thought at all
that some clever people would question the COLB and notice the flaws.
