“Birtherism” is the greatest Alinsky ever perpetrated. Those who use the term assist in the denigration of the Constitution
They have gotten the American people to reject one of the most valuable safeguards bequeathed to us by the founders.
The natural born citizen clause served us well until we allowed it to be ignored.
Barry Soetoro/Barack Hussein Obama should be proof enough of the wisdom of the founders when they tried to prevent him from being President by requiring someone who could only be a US citizen and nothing else.
Born here of citizen parents.
Naturally a US citizen because there is no other possibility.
One cannot be anything else and also be a natural born citizen.

I think you are redefining birtherism. It originally meant disbelieving the birth certificate in its various forms. It was justified considering the quality of the images produced by the perps. But the perps played the birthers. Their playing gradually wound down, along with the Hawaii authorities vouching for the original, that's pretty much it on the certificates.

The discussion of the definition of natural born including citizen parents, etc is a not birtherism in my view, but a new discussion.
