If that were true, a criminal case would have been filed by now.

No criminal case has been filed.

QED: That is not true.

He has. Twice.

If he has obtained office fraudulently, the powerful Constitutional remedy
appropriate to the offence is impeachment and removal from office. Then we will vote for legitimate candidates.

yep.

i'd actually like to see the COLB submitted during the hearing. plus i'd love it if any birthers are accepting bets on how the judge will rule on the minor v happersett theory of exclusive definition.

but...... at the end of the day it's only a recommendation that the judge will be passing on to the GA SOS.

Just like it did in Indiana?

Quote:
Minor v. Happersett, 88 (21 Wall.) U.S. 162, 167 (1874). In Minor, written only six years after the Fourteenth Amendment was ratified, the Court observed that:
The Constitution does not, in words, say who shall be natural-born citizens. Resort must be had elsewhere to ascertain that. At common-law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives, or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners. Some authorities go further and include as citizens children born within the jurisdiction without reference to the citizenship of their parents. As to this class there have been doubts, but never as to the first. For the purposes of this case it is not necessary to solve these doubts.
Id. at 167-168. Thus, the Court left open the issue of whether a person who is born within the United States of alien parents is considered a natural born citizen.12

...

Based upon the language of Article II, Section 1, Clause 4 and the guidance provided by Wong Kim Ark, we conclude that persons born within the borders of the United States are “natural born Citizens” for Article II, Section 1 purposes, regardless of the citizenship of their parents. Just as a person “born within the British dominions [was] a natural-born British subject” at the time of the framing of the U.S. Constitution, so too were those “born in the allegiance of the United States [] natural-born citizens.”

As legal arguments go, that one's sort of weak.

Obama traveled on a Kenyan or Indonesian passport as a child. If he was an American he would of had a US passport.

Odd then that it has never been cited as precedent in any subsequent court case. Not once, in 136 years.

On the other hand, Wong Kim Ark has been cited as precedent.
