I can't take any more of this Obama is not eligable for U.S. Presidency issue.....has anyone read the constitution article 2?
It states that the President must be a natural citizen and have been living in the U.S. for the last 14 years.
REGARDLESS of whether he was born in Kenya or Hawaii...IT DOESN'T MATTER!!! Why?
BECAUSE HIS MOTHER IS A U.S. CITIZEN!!!! Any child born to a U.S. citizen is automatically a U.S. citizen by birthright, regardless of where in the world the mother gives birth.
Are all of you people hung up on this issue serious? Don't just read the damn laws, understand what they mean.
Sorry for my tone, I just couldn't take anymore stupidity.

So even if he was born in Hawaii, which I do not know for a fact, he could not be a citizen because of her. That was the law at his birth date. You don't apparently read the laws, let alone understand what they mean.
I should be honest, I have not read it, have you?
I have studied law, I have studied American history, and world history. Enough to know that we know exactly what the authors/teachers want us to know.

I did not speculate anything. If a person asks a question, can you please explain to me how that is speculation? Here are the exact words:
"I also have a question, if he does in fact have a legitimate BC, why would he spend all the time and money involved if the case did get heard? Wouldn't it just be easier to provide it?"

i don't care how many times or if you continue to respond. as far as i can tell you're trying to play word games. it doesn't matter what you said
before, as my response wasn't about whether you support the decision or not, but about the ambiguous language you chose to use. at least two seperate people have now, according to you, misunderstood what you tried to say. if i were you i would choose my words more carefully to avoid this confusion in the future.
just because i'm bored and not sleepy at 2am local time, i will play along with your objection.
"if he did in fact" implies that you believe he doesn't in fact have one. you then seem to justify this position by saying "why wouldn't he provide it" instead of "spending all the time and money involved" but then you couch it all in a future possible tense negating your entire point.
so if this case is heard, he will either provide the bc or he won't but we can't know that since it hasn't been heard. maybe he will, maybe he wont provide it, maybe he can and maybe he can't. he will probably still need to pay a certain amount of money either way.
is your point that you think he will provide it if it does get heard? then why bother with the "if in fact he does have one" part?
no, i stand by my original interpretation of your circular logic. and again, this is the same problem with the very root of this argument and the probably endless lawsuits that will come from it.
it seems to me you are backpedaling and you've (either ingeniously or by accident) steeped your point in a way that allows you to do so easily.
if i've again misinterpreted, don't bother trying to explain. just take this lesson to heart and use less confusing sentence structure in the future.

RIGHT, like this ISN'T the last we've heard about this!
Haven't you heard, The Supreme Court is IN on the conspiracy, THEY ARE NWO!
OBAMA is really a KING from Kenya with ROYAL Blood and he TRICKED everyone HE was never born in Hawaii, in fact, Obama wasn't even BORN. Obama hatched from an Egg in the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean and he lived his early life in Atlantis preparing to become President!

not sure where you were trying to go with the sarcasm, but if you are asking about the next case, it is against the Connecticut Secretary of State, and very similar to Donofrio's case. It will go to conference on 12/12/08.
Please understand, Donofrio never disputes Obama's birth in Hawaii nor makes any comment whatsoever on Obama's birth certificate.
Donofrio says that since Obama had dual nationality at birth — his mother was American and his Kenyan father at the time was a British subject — he cannot possibly be a "natural born citizen," one of the requirements the Constitution lists for eligibility to be president.
