Okay so check this out...an FBI agent came to talk to the class I was in and I asked the same question..I was told,"Anyone running for President has to go through a backround check and yes he is a U.S. citizen." Oh and by the way he did not look at me or in my general direction for the rest of the 2 hours left.
No he did not say natural born, just that they go through a backround check when they file to run for president.
And he may be from Kenya, but I thought he was born in London? Which by the by UK has 6 months to file a birth certificate, strange he was in Hawaii when the certificate was filed.
It's Obama's responsibility to prove his legitimacy and status as a natural born citizen ... and not the rest of the world's responsibility to prove he isn't.
So he posts a certified copy from the fine state of Hawaii and the Republican Governor of Hawaii confirms it's kosher. Which, in the mind of rational people, ends it.
The State of Hawaii is the final arbiter. They're the certifying authority (ever stopped to ponder why it's called a "certificate"?), and when they put on a document that it's prima facie evidence in court, they back it. It's one of those States' Rights things. Feel free to take an anecdote about an FBI agent avoiding eye contact as evidence beyond the official documents issued by a state government, but don't expect to be taken seriously.
