Oops you're right the Natural Born Clause just says one has to be natural born. The obfuscation comes with the definition of it, which isn't in the Constitution.

And a very pregnant Stanley Ann still could have traveled to Kenya, had the baby there
grandmommy could put the ad in the paper announcing the birth
and also registering the birth at Kapiolani hospital
Take your pick
No, I just take the Natural Born Clause to be of Vattel's Law of Nations and not Wong Kim Ark/Ankney/Georgia/Indiana cases.

So, after repeatedly telling us it's in the Constitution, you finally admit it's not in the Constitution.
Thank you very much, it's great to see you admitting the truth at last.
Five Georgians, including one represented by Taitz, filed challenges with the Georgia Secretary of State, Brian Kemp, regarding Obama's inclusion on the March primary ballot.[72] Kemp referred the challenges to Deputy Chief Judge Michael Malihi, an administrative law judge, who denied Obama's motion to dismiss them and scheduled a hearing for January 26.[73]

These were cases brought at the state level, and therefore no Supreme Court judgement has been made regarding this matter,

So instead of wanting to use USA law and precedent in the USA you want to use a book written by a foreigner.... just so you can stop Obama being President!

I doubt that the case law and precedents of Wong Kim Ark and the Indiana and Georgia cases were available at the time our Founding Fathers wrote that eligibility meant natural born.

I imagine the founding fathers would be horrified that the people elected a black man to be President - twice! many of them even owned blacks as slaves....
Starting in the 1930s the Communist Party promoted opportunities for ‘inter-racial' relationships among its members. The Communists could monopolize their social ties due to the intense social pressures created by the Democrats' system of Jim Crow segregation. The social stigma against what segregationists such as Tennessee Senator Al Gore Sr. called ‘miscegenation' helped keep people in the orbit of the CPUSA. As future Obama mentor Frank Marshall Davis would explain in his 1968 book "Sex Rebel: Black", CPUSA recruitment burgeoned in part due to the sexual opportunities the Communists created.
"With the Soviet Union and the United States allies in the world struggle against the Axis, it was quite respectable to join and work with many groups later labeled Communist. Black and white mingled openly; for the first time many snow broads and spade studs could meet without fear or stigma and they made the most of this opportunity." (p 115)

On July 25, 1787, John Jay wrote to George Washington, presiding officer of the Convention:
Permit me to hint, whether it would not be wise and seasonable to provide a strong check to the admission of Foreigners into the administration of our national Government, and to declare expressly that the Command in chief of the American army shall not be given to, nor devolve on, any but a natural born Citizen.
The Naturalization Act of 1790 stated that "the children of citizens of the United States that may be born beyond sea, or out of the limits of the United States, shall be considered as natural born citizens". (Act to establish a uniform Rule of Naturalization, 1st Congress, 2nd session, March 26, 1790, 1 Stat.L. 103 at 104, 2 Laws of the U.S., ed. Bioren & Duane (1815) 82 at 83.) This act was superseded by the Naturalization Act of 1795, which did not mention the phrase natural born citizen.

Yes, every argument and court case against Obama has failed, over 200 of them, - because those pushing those cases have no facts, only lies.

Consider the following analysis of the natural born citizen clause by constitutional
scholar Michael Dorf, posted at the Dorf on Law blog February 29, 2008:
[I]f one is not burdened by the label of “originalist,” then [McCain’s eligibility
for the presidency] is a pretty easy question. The “natural born
citizen” requirement manifests a distrust of the foreign-born that, in a nation
of immigrants, can only be derided as repugnant. I both “reject” it and
I “denounce” it! It’s still part of the Constitution, however, and therefore
we need to try to figure out what it means. My frankly normative move
would be to limit the damage by limiting the scope of “foreign-born.”
There’s no plausible way to read the provision to permit Schwarzenegger
and other naturalized citizens to become President. There is a ready (if not
100% clearly the original) way to read it to permit Americans born abroad
to U.S. parents to become citizens.

but none of the other cases have been heard per se and were summarily dismissed based on lack of merit.
I tried to say that last night, but you brought up the Georgia case.
And now after all this you resort to using the race card to prove your point.
“His opinion holds that the 14th has the exact same effect as the natural-born citizen clause, while the 14th Amendment does not include the words “natural born Citizen”. Persons claiming citizenship under the 14th Amendment are deemed to be “citizens”. Malihi has added the words “natural born” into the Amendment. This is absolutely forbidden, according to Malihi’s own opinion in the Motion to dismiss, wherein he held: “In the absence of words of limitation, words in a statute should be given their ordinary and everyday meaning.’ Because there is no other ‘natural and reasonable construction’ of the statutory language, this Court is ‘not authorized either to read into or to read out that which would add to or change its meaning.’ “
In other words, he claimed one thing on January 3, 2012 and on February 3, 2012 he wrote the exact opposite. Why would any sane man do such a thing?
The question of Obama being eligible is a legal issue. It is also a political issue. Since America is not a “Nation of Laws” as the politicians hype. It is a Nation of Establishment. The Establishment, through their corrupted politicians make the rules and the rules change according to who they are for. And in politics, anywhere in the World, all through history, the three most effective tools are bribery, extortion and murder.
He ignored the Constitution and at least three US Supreme Court rulings, defining Natural born citizen as one who is born in America to two citizen parents. He ignored the Law of Nations, that the founders of this country used to draft our constitution. He ignored the countless letters, written back and forth by our founders, defining natural born citizen and their reasons for why they would only accept a natural born citizen as their President.

However, it is still true that it was not decided by the Supreme Court.
This has nothing to do with his race

To be President you have to be a "natural born citizen". That means born in this country and your parents were born here too.
It doesn't mean that at all, anyway the court has declared Obama a natural born citizen....

The court also decided that OJ Simpson was innocent too
