As President, Obama has the Constitution, but not the constitution.

The bottom line is that it doesn't matter if he is a natural born citizen or not. He's already been elected. He's the President. For all intents and purposes the "birther" debate is over for now.

Even if someone were to produce undeniable evidence that he was born in Kenya, or on another planet for that matter, he won't be impeached (if that is even an impeachable offense).

If you still have strong feelings about his nationality then vote him out of office in the next election. But, in the meantime, let's focus our energy on things that are more important to this country.

'Legally' may be the only legitimate descriptor.

So C-D conservatives, do you feel Obama is a natural born citizen? Do you believe he is constitutionally qualified to be president?

I ignored this issue for the past 3 years. But now, I'm wondering why he waited 3 years to publish his birth cert???? So, is it a fake???? What was he hiding ????

As a Libertarian, I've never denied Obama had the Constitutional privilege to be President, but nor have I denied the right of the people to demand to know more about him.

The failure being that of the press. And now it squirms in the juices of that failure.

And I don't know if you saw all of the video, but in there it says that the numbers on the certificate, don't have the typical 1960s typewriter font, they have a modern computer font.

Sometimes I thought he was born here, sometimes I thought he wasn't. But revisiting all the theories, I've come to the conclusion that he was born here BUT, that he was adopted by Lolo Soetoro who was an Indonesian. And when you're adopted by an Indonesian back then, you have to give up your citizenship and in doing so, I believe Obama forfeited his right to be president, legally. That's why Alex Jones on his radio show, never really gave much thought to where he was born, but whether he was adopted by a foreign national or not. He thinks that his real birth certificate would show he was born in Hawaii, but it'll also show something unintended

Not quite, as he would be arrested on a criminal level if concrete evidence were found that he was not born on US soil.

I am not saying he wasn't, but that if he wasn't and it was proven, life as he knows it would end a little abruttly. That would be a Capitol Offence. The first hting he would see is another form of Govt gray, with bars.

I have no reason not to believe he's qualified. There still is a question of whether or not he renounced his US citizenship to attend school in Indonesia...but at this point I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Calvinist, I have heard he also took foreign aid for schooling, which is seemingly irregular for an American to do and then receive.

Once on line I saw his Selective Service form all American males fill out at age 18, and it was a fake.

I also saw several alledged short forms COLB's which all were earred marked by an assumed expert as fakes. I searched on line yesterday for all of that, but I couldn't find any. I am still left wondering why I couldn't find any.

I think all that stuff is rotting in Denmark.
