“ [I] find no fault with the introductory clause [S 61 Bill], which is simply declaratory of what is written in the Constitution, that every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is, in the language of your Constitution itself, a natural born citizen…. . . ”

- John Bingham in the United States House on March 9, 1866 (Cong. Globe, 39th, 1st Sess., 1291 (1866))

I look at it mathematically too.
Every permutation for “Citizen” is defined in US Code 1401 via the 14th Amendment.
The term “Natural Born Citizen” is nowhere to be found in US Code 1401 or the 14th Amendment because it’s not defined there.
The only permutation NOT in the 14th is that of jus soli jus sanguinis (both parents), and that is the ONLY possible remaining definition of Natural Born Citizen.
Article II by using the word “OR” makes NBC distinct from mere citizen, they cannot be and are not the same things.
This is backed up by US v Wong Km Ark which states that the native born child of an alien cannot be a natural born citizen and Minor v Happersett which not only defines NBC as jus soli jus sanguinis both parents but holds that the definition of NBC is not in the 14th amendment. Also, you are either born NBC or not, you cannot be assigned that status at any point after the moment of birth, which is held by Craig v US.

So all-told by precedent and logic and mathematics, there is no escaping that NBC means born in-country and of two US citizen parents.

If you really want to excoriate a bot on this, show them that Barack Obama himself as cosponsor of Senate Resolution 511 (which defines NBC requiring two US citizen parents) agrees with you!!
So to Senators Chertoff, Leahy, etc.

Vattel wrote the book the “Law of Nations” (before the Constituion was written) in which he defines a natural born citizen as have two citizen parents.

I agree the COLB is not required to determine Mr. Obama’s eligibility unless Obama Sr. is not his biological father or SAD is not his biological mother. It is however necessary to determine the veracity of the COLB. In the event it is fraudulent, it may be the only path which to engage the media and citizens who still refuse to believe anything other than Mr. Obama’s claim to the office of POTUS is legitimate, regardless of his father’s nationality or even where he was born.

I encourage everyone that reads this blog to write to the DoH and demand the following:

Pursuant to HRS 338-18 (d) and HRS 92F-12, I hereby request to inspect and copy:
Index data for Barack Hussein Obama II, Barry Soetoro, Barack Hussein Soetoro
Index data for Stanley Ann Dunham, Stanley Ann Obama, Stanley Ann Soetoro/Sutoro
Index data for Barack Hussein Obama (Sr.)
Index data for Lolo Soetoro
Index data for birth certificate 151 1961-010641

Pursuant to HRS 92F-12, I hereby request to inspect and copy all attorney-client communications between the AG and DoH that was the basis of the July 27, 2009 statement by Dr. Fukino. Communications Director Okubo informed one citizen that “the AG approved the statement”. The DoH cannot selectively withhold attorney-clien commnunications once it releases a portion of that communication.

Pursuant to HRS 91-2 and HRS 92F-12 I hereby request to inspect and copy the rules, regulations, procedures or other phyiscal form that define the circumstances in which “Date Filed By Registrar” is applied to the COLB in lieu of “Date Accepted By Registrar”.

Pursuant to HRS 338-18, I hereby request the DoH to verify the veracity of the online COLB posted at FactCheck, and Fight the Smears.

President Obama waived all rights to privacy when his campaign posted the COLB on Fight the Smears and invited FactCheck to the campaign headquarters to photograph it. It is permissible by law for the DoH to release all of the information I have listed, yet it has only released the index data for Barack Hussein Obama II and the marriage index data for Stanley Ann Dunham and Barack Hussein Obama (Sr.) which in itself is no guarantee the two were married to each other, only that they married a person in HI.

Until the DoH releases all of the above information, the general public has no choice but to assume the COLB online is a forgery. If enough people demand the truth, a tipping point will result where public interest far outweighs Mr. Obama’s privacy.

No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.
