BO’s father was a foreign national. This disqualifies BO as POTUS, even if BO had been born on U.S. soil. A natural born citizen has two citizen parents.
Yes, and isn't it encouraging to see that more and more people understand the constitutional issue. As another contributor pointed out, the enormous effort to promote the Alinsky tactic, ‘birthers’, probably has had impact. Obama is so frightening, as people see the world's economy collapsing, and see that Obama's banker sponsors see it as an opportunity, Romney doesn't need to join the eligibility issue. Romney was the establishment candidate, and the Republican establishment, every US Senator, signed SR 511, clearly agreeing that a natural born citizen must have two citiizen parents. Many of them supported the Obama/McCaskill bill in Feb 2008, the the ‘‘Children of Military Families Natural Born Citizen Act’’. This bill was not accident. It was the next to last attempt to claim that McCain was eligible. It failed. SR 511 was, of course, a ‘resolution’ - not actionable.
Remember, Barack has never once claimed to be a natural born citizen. Nancy Pelosi has, by inference, made one such claim in writing, and even that was intentionally fudged by having her sign two affirmations of candidate eligiblity, one mentioned the Constitution, the other didn't. This was for Hawaii. Barack, in fact, told us, on his web site, that he was a 'native-born citizen of the U.S.', which is the confusing language for a naturalized, a 14th Amendment citizen. He didn't lie. He has always asserted that the Constitution is a dated document which doesn't let him do what he believes our citizens need. What he claimed, and every one avoids, implies that any 'anchor baby', the child born to Jihadi terrorists in a cave in Arizona as they await their orders, raised by them under the cover used by millions of illegal aliens, would become eligible to the presidency at 35. That is nonsense, and not so different from the child of secret royalists who never naturalized.
Romney's principal sponsors supportet the inelibile McCain.
Without McCain, some senator would have joined Nathan Deal to ask for vetting of Obama. McCain was vetted, and never found eligible. 511 simply said “We think McCain deserves to have the chance to run, even if he isn't constitutionally eligible.
If Obama was born to a citizen, he attained the office, accepted campaign finances, took the oath of office knowing he was lying. Betting that no politician would bring him up on charges, given the example of Scooter Libby's prosecution, when Justice knew before the charges were even announced. that Richard Armitqge had confessed. But understanding the Constitution remains important. Republican might prefer not to face Hillary, who would be Obama’s likely replacement. But there is no doubt that Hillary was well aware of the Constitutional truth.
Keep up the clear explanations. Others are becoming aware of the truth. The more anyone reads the concise and correct legal explanations on FR, the more they will realize how many FR contributors are antagonists - Obots - and clever ones, because their objective has been to redirect discussion, and avoid constitutional analysis, because there is now so much correct information available, thanks largely to Mario Apuzzo and Leo Donofrio.
I don’t understand how this point keeps getting lost and I’m glad you posted it - again.
A natural born citizen has two citizen parents.

I’d like to see where that is stated (other than a birther website).
What is stated (1 of among 200 such sources) is this:
“[Supreme Court] precedent fully supports that President Obama is a natural born citizen under the Constitution and thus qualified to hold the office of President. See United States v. Wong Kim Ark… Contrary to Plaintiff’s assertion, Minor v. Happersett, 88 U.S. 162 (1874), does not hold otherwise.“, - SO SAID: the Arizona Superior Court, Pima County in March 2012.

Even James Madison disavows the parent rule when he said:
“It is an established maxim that birth is a criterion of allegiance. Birth however derives its force sometimes from place and sometimes from parentage, but in general place is the most certain criterion; it is what applies in the United States”
