There is a bit of hypocrisy going on here. This kind of abuse of the court system is rightly condemned by conservatives when the target of the suits are corporations but now applauded when the target is an individual.

Any looney tune can file a suit and issue a subpoena requesting any personal information he desires (you don't even need a lawyer to do it) and the target is forced to respond. It could even happen to you.

IMHO, there is something obscene about demanding the scope of personal information that these suits are after. The "birthers" demand the right to poke through the details of Obama's early life longing for anything to use against him. They are using the court system to harass and hound while wrapping them selves in the noble cloak of patriotism. They make the word dirty.

Poster Comment:

The "birthers" are merely asking for actual PROOF that Obama is in fact an AMERICAN. His long form birth certificate, which could be produced at almost no cost, could confirm that he is or prove that he is not. Why is he and the DNC spending huge sums of money to keep it hidden if it actually proves that he is a citizen? I suspect that it proves the opposite for there would be no other reason not to disclose it.

It wasn't defined because ALL of the Framers knew what a natural born citizen was based upon their common legal education.

Can yuou cite the debate at Annapolis in which this requirement was put into operation?

Originally, in post 59 of this thread, you stated, "There is no such requirement to be natural born."

A reference to parentage not the progeny.

Try Philly instead. It predated Annapolis:

"One important reason why the delegates chose to meet in Carpenters Hall, was that the building also housed the Library Company of Philadelphia. The librarian reported that Vattel was one of the main sources consulted by the delegates during the First Continental Congress, which met from Sept. 5 to Oct. 26, 1774. Charles W.F. Dumas, an ardent supporter of the American cause, printed an edition of The Law of Nations in 1774, with his own notes illustrating how the book applied to the American situation. In 1770, Dumas had met Franklin in Holland, and was one of Franklin's key collaborators in his European diplomacy. He sent three copies to Franklin, instructing him to send one to Harvard University, and to put one in the Philadelphia library. Franklin sent Dumas a letter, Dec. 9, 1775, thanking him for the gift. Franklin stated, "I am much obliged by the kind present you have made us of your edition of Vattel. It came to us in good season, when the circumstances of a rising state make it necessary frequently to consult the law of nations. Accordingly, that copy which I kept, has been continually in the hands of the members of our congress, now sitting ... ." link

But tell us again how there is no Constitutional requirement that a president has to be natural born citizen. That's your best gag yet.

Apparently there are a great number of "moonbats" because there are a lot of people who have questions about where your Obamasiah was born. And he REFUSES to produce the long form birth certificate that might clear it up--are you honest enough to ask yourself why anyone would spend hundreds of thousands, if not millions, to keep something like that hidden? Most of us have to produce that to get a passport, yet Obama doesn't have to produce one to prove he is eligible to hold the highest elected office the country has to offer? And you think there is nothing wrong with that picture? If you can't see it there is no help for you and a "moonbat" would be a credit to you. Common amoebas would be a credit to anyone that stupid.

Seventh Amendment

In Suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury, shall be otherwise re-examined in any Court of the United States, than according to the rules of the common law.

Looks like the first sentence and the last two words of the seventh amendment refute your claim.

JD-

The source of the "Obama was born in Kenya" story is the Democratic Party. Recall that Philip Berg is the one that pushed that lawsuit. The story exists as a ruse to hide the fact that Obama isn't a natural born citizen by virtue of his father's citizenship.

The Dem ops are hoping that the general population will get disgusted with those of us that question Obama's eligibility by lumping all of into the crazy camp due to the "Obama was born in Kenya" story when the Dems are the ones that started it.

Remember Lenin's rule: Control the opposition by leading it.

According to some sources even his own grandmother--the one in Kenya and just another one he would throw under the bus if it suited his purposes (like he did the "typical white person" who raised his ungrateful ass), said he was born in Kenya. And so did some half brothers or sisters if I recall correctly.

Again, you're incorrect. The ruling found that Wong Kim Ark was a citizen, not a natural born citizen. The ruling also made a distinction between citizens and natural born citizens.

From YOUR link:

"Considering the circumstances surrounding the framing of the constitution, I submit that it is unreasonable to conclude that 'natural born citizen' applied to everybody born within the geographical tract known as the United States, irrespective of circumstances; and that the children of foreigners, happening to be born to them while passing through the country, whether of royal parentage or not, or whether of the Mongolian, Malay, or other race, were eligible to the presidency, while children of our citizens, born abroad, were not."

The truly ironic thing about this is that the IRS, the most tyrannical part of this usurping government, also trivializes the meaning of the term "natural born citizen" on a regular basis:

The truth is the truth no matter who tells it. But of course I take your point about how he isn't a citizen because his father was a citizen of Kenya and subject to British rule and his mother could not legally pass on her citizenship to him under the laws as they existed at that time.

It seems you need to further your education beyond calling people "doof" when you are proven wrong. Doesn't speak well of you. But then, most of us probably don't expect much from Obamabots.

And that ppoint is incorrect. Read the decision. The USCON establishes two classes of US citizenship...natural born and naturalized.
