How come Minor v Happersett and definition of NBC is not cited -
Superior Court Judge Richard E. Gordon in Arizona wrote in his order in the case of Allen v. Obama:
…this precedent fully supports that President Obama is a natural born citizen under the Constitution to hold the office of President. See United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649, 702-03 (1898) addressing U. S. Const. amend. XIV); Ankeny v. Governor of the State of Indiana 916 N.E.2d 678, 684-88 (Ind. App. 2010) (addressing the precise issue). Contrary to Plaintiff’s assertion, Minor v. Happersett, 99 U.S. 162 (1874), does not hold otherwise.”

In 1961 race was defined as Caucasian, Negroid, or Mongoloid. Baracks fathers race is listed as African. In 1961 it was common knowledge that Africa is a continent not a race.
The space for "Race of Father" is filled in with the word "African," which at the time was a descriptor that blacks who were actually native-born Africans (like Barack Obama's father was) were more likely to use for themselves than "negro" (the latter being synonymous with "slave" in Euro-colonial countries such as Kenya).
Race on a birth certificate doesn’t come from a hospital worker looking at the father and writing down the father’s race; it is determined by asking the father what he considers his race to be.
This is the instruction for filling out a birth certificate from the National Center for Health Statistics:
25. FATHER’S RACE (Check one or more races to indicate what the father considers himself to be) ▢ White ▢ Black or African American ▢ American Indian or Alaska Native (Name of the enrolled or principal tribe)________________ ▢ Asian Indian ▢ Chinese ▢ Filipino ▢ Japanese ▢ Korean ▢ Vietnamese ▢ Other Asian (Specify)______________________________ ▢ Native Hawaiian ▢ Guamanian or Chamorro ▢ Samoan ▢ Other Pacific Islander (Specify)______________________ ▢ Other (Specify)___________________________________
So clearly the question is not how Americans described Africans, but how Africans described Africans in 1961,

As expected, another silly birther claim goes down in flames as birthers could not be bothered to spend a few seconds to actually check any facts!

That form was dated 2003, what exact bearing did those instructions have in 1961?
`
I tell you what, show me another birth certificate before 1985 that list race as African. Any silly ol' birth certificate will do. I'll wait.
In fact, other Hawaiian birth certificates from 1961 make it clear how open-ended the race response was: Race of Mother: Hawaiian Fil Port Sp
There was never a prescribed list of choices for race. Race is whatever the parents said they were and in 1961 black Kenyans called themselves “African” as evidenced by the 1962 Kenya Census forms.
Race. -- Write Eurpoean, Arab, Somali or African, etc. Asians must write Indian or Pakistan.
Birthers speak with great confidence about things they know nothing about, and in the case of Mr. Madsen, just make stuff up.

Here's a thought: did anyone ever think of contacting Kenya or the Kenyan Embassy or some such?
I mean, at least Trump admits he was born in Jamaica.
en.wikipedia.org...
Trump was born and raised in the Queens borough of New York City and received a bachelor's degree in economics from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania in 1968.
www.nyu.edu...
Donald Trump is the third generation of an entrepreneurial family. His family’s achievements and success reflect one of the biggest changes America has ever seen, from the Gold Rush in Colorado to affordable housing in Queens. Donald Trump was born in Queens, New York on June 14,1946, the day the nation united to celebrate its flag, Flag Day. Donald Trump has added to his parent’s legacy of finding the demand in the market and infusing the supply it needs. The name Donald Trump has made for himself is unsurpassed to this day.
Donald Trump Is a “Natural Born Citizen” But Putative President Barack Obama Is Not By Mario Apuzzo, Esq.
March 31, 2011
Based on the information that has so far been provided to the public, I conclude that Donald Trump is an Article II "natural born Citizen" but Barack Obama is not.
In 1924, the Congress passed the Married Women’s Act, also known as the Cable Act. This act gave each woman a nationality of her own. Under this act, an alien woman who married a U.S. citizen did not need to file a declaration of intention to become a U.S. citizen. She needed only to file a naturalization petition to become a U.S. citizen. Given their dates of birth, Trump’s parents most probably married after 1924, the year the Cable Act was passed. Hence, Trump’s mother would have had to naturalize on her own to acquire U.S. citizenship. Trump’s mother naturalized to be a U.S. citizen on her own on March 10, 1942, which is over 4 years before Trump was born. Hence, when Trump was born, both his parents were "citizens of the United States." These birth circumstances make Trump a “natural born Citizen.” See www.thebirthers.org... for screen shots of the supporting documentation which shows that Donald Trump is a “natural born Citizen.”
