Yes, because the 14th Amendment has nothing to do with the type of person that the founders intended for Article 2 Section 1 for the Presidency.
Wrong. As you yet again failed to read for comprehension, Wong Kim Ark explicitly explained why the 14th amendment pretty much guaranteed that all person born in the US are natural born citizens.
Only racists lean on the "14th amendment" citizen bs.
Not true at all. Jesse Jackson and Alan Keyes (both black) both ran for president and their eligibility wasn't challenged as candidates.
I'm not saying he was questioned because he's black. I'm saying if he wasn't black, and came onto the scene under the exact same circumstances as a white male, this would have never happened. It's not as much that he's black, as it is that hes not a white guy with a western name.
Even if he was white, and a few people started making note of it, it would have never taken off. Culture ignorance and racism helped got the ball rolling. Ignorant people see his name and skin tone and are inclined to believe, because they want to...

You nailed it, it has been pointed out to the birfers that past presidents had foreign born parents. Of course, none of that matters, they were white.

What type of person? A white person?

that the founders intended for Article 2 Section 1 for the Presidency. If it was the other way around then the Article 2 Section 1 natural born Citizen presidential clause would have been amended to the 14th Amendment so a naturalized born Citizen by statute could have qualified for the presidency.
Mario Apuzzo is a DUI lawyer who has no experience or expertise in Constitutional law. He has filed a single case outside of his ambulance chasing expertise. It was thrown out as "frivolous" by the court, and that tossing was upheld by the Supreme Court.
No, another lie you are administering to the public. How do you not know he studied Constitutional law in law school? Those institutions he went to teach it. Basically the courts said his clients did not have standing to bring their action against Obama and Congress and it could therefore not address the merits of whether Obama was a “natural born Citizen” under the proposed “common-law” definition. No court ever decided the merits of the Kerchner case. It was never called 'frivolous'.
“Because we have decided that this appeal is frivolous, we will order counsel for appellants to show cause why just damages and costs should not be imposed.”
No!!!...A 14th amendment statutory Citizen. Are you that dense?
Those "statutory citizens" would have been the slaves who weren't accorded the rights of citizenship prior to the 14th Amendment. Every child to slaves thereafter would not have been "statutory citizens" they would have simply been born free citizens of the United States.
Your reading of the 14th Amendment is simply misinterpretation to suit your twisted agenda, and not the accurate reading that the courts have upheld.
