It seems every freeper lawyer who comments on this tells the NBC'ers the same thing - born in the US (usual diplomatic exceptions) has been held by the courts to mean natural born, and no court will find otherwise now just because some people want a shortcut to the hard work wining the 2012 election. Why they think a judge will find a different outcome this time is beyond me. And it just makes people look like the tin foil hat brigade to accuse every judge of treason for a judgment that was completely predictable given the plaintiffs entered the Hawaii COLB into evidence and stipulated 0bama was born in Hawaii.

I have been saying that on countless eligibility threads since they first started cropping up on FR in late 2008-early 2009, and all it gets me is accusations of being an "Obot." No, I don't like him, and I'm not going to vote for him, but if he was born in Hawai'i, then it is settled law that he is a Natural Born Citizen.

It's settled opinion of the lawyers. The actual "law" does not say any such thing. Were it to be otherwise, the 14th amendment would contain the words "natural born" just prior to the word "citizen."
