*sigh*
frivolous lawsuits that is, or else at least one of them would have made it to ... yknow court.
And one reserve soldier made use of his *right* to change his mind for a tour *he volunteered for after Obama was inaugurated*
To make that first part a bit clearer: I could sue you too for demolishing my car yesterday (if i could only find my sledgehammer that is) and we might even make it to court, but i would have to prove that you did it. Me suing you says nothing besides the fact that i sue you.

The Constitution of the US says that only a "natural-born citizen" can hold the office of the POTUS. It is commonly assumed that it means that one must be born on US soil, but there is, to my utter surprise, no clear-cut legal definition what it really means! A congressional amendment to clear up any ambiguity is needed.
Naturalized Americans, like Gov. Schwarzenegger, were first citizens of other countries and therefore not eligible.
So if a Mexican citizen, on vacation in LA, gave birth the kid would be eligible for POTUS. If an American citizen gave birth in London the kid could never become POTUS. Somehow this doesn't sound right to me ...
Concerning the eligibility of John McCain. He was born on a military installation near the Panama canal and that is still "considered" American soil, although not explicitly mentioned in the Constitution.

McCain was born in Colon, Panama. This is not on a military base. While it states on his BC, he was born on the miltary base, he wasn't This is easily found. He is a U.S. citizen because his parents are.

His COLB is very suspect as anyone at the time could order one.
His own relatives have said he was born in Africa. Why would they lie?
Something stinks

Maya Soetoro was born to Indonesian businessman Lolo Soetoro and American cultural anthropologist Ann Dunham and half-sister to the 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama. While living in Indonesia, she was home schooled by her mother and then attended Jakarta International School and returned to Hawaii and attended the private Punahou School in Honolulu, Hawaii, graduating in 1988.
Besides being the First Sister Maya has a HawaiiaCertification of Live Birth despite be born in Jakarta Indonesia. Supposedly this certificate was used by the Daily Kos to forge an Obama version. Anyone find it odd that Maya, undisputedly born in Indonesia, would have the same type of document as Barack Obama to forge?

i think that the MSM should have a helluva lot more involvement in this. So even if it is all made up, why dont they actually prove it.
I for one believe that Barack Hussein Obama is not a natural-born citizen of the United States of Amercia.
