Gosh, I really hope you do not hurt yourself. Stretching like that can be terror on certain unused muscles. The constitution does not say anywhere in it that a person can only be defined by having two such parents. Not only does it not say it but thank you for backing that up. You pointed out quite well that it does not say that in the constitution. In fact, if it did, we would were not eligable. I am having trouble remembering the one that was an actual native American born of two 'natural born American citizens' according to your attempt at a criteria.
e.g. if my parents were natural born citizens then according to you, their parents must have also had to be natural born citizens which could only apply if their parents were also natural born citizens, and so on. Nice try though.
...or how about in 2012 we meet to discuss this again. While Obama is still president of the United States, you can tell me how right you are/were. Maybe then you can tell me how you plan to never pay taxes again.

Because it is not our right to demand that the president turn over every piece of personal information Glen Beck or Lou Dobbs or some Russian doctor/lawyer/taekwondo master decides they want to see. There are certain safeguards in place to keep our government from being siezed by foreign interests. Some of us do not understand why this is so important when it was not at all important to look into G.W.'s military records. What was he hiding? Oh right, coc aine use, dereliction of duty, etc. How about McCain? Several people lost lives due to his failure to obey SOP on more than one occasion but we did not demand to see any of those records. Somehow, seeing Obama's long form birth certificate will tell you something you need to know? His birth weight? The constellation crossing behind the moon at the time? tide levels? what?

Suddenly people in the military get to be so choosey? If you do not want to be ordered off to war by the president, stay out of the military. If you do not like the person running for president, do not vote for them. If you cannot handle it when your guy loses, move to another country.
Anyone in the military that is using this as cover is a coward, liar or both. If they were so worried about the orders they follow being legit, they would have spent the last many years doing something to stop their brothers and sisters from dying in the now known illegal war in Iraq. Were we at war already when these people joined or not? Who was comander in chief then? This is all BS and you know it.

Why does President Obama refuse to clear this whole issue up by producing his real birth certificate signed by his delivering physician on the day he was born in Hawaii marking the time of birth and identifying the hospital where he was born? Some chick in Hawaii said she saw it, and she would not lie. Show us the bona fide document Mr. President. This would be over in an instant and we could get on with important issues.

As of now, despite the implicit gains one may assume for whichever political party, there is only evidence that this was done to mess with the 'birthers'.

How it got on ATS is irrelevant. Who presented it is irrelevant.
The authenticity of the document, and the motives of the people who developed it in the first place ARE relevant.
People are complaining that ATS let the members debate and decide the authenticity of the document themselves.

Its a Hoax Fraud Conspiracy - bit of a mouthful that and probably typically British so in the spirit of all things American and your fondness for acronyms over there - lets call it a HFC

Which discussion Lee?
The one about the Birth Certificate, its validity and the motives behind its production, and the whole "citzen or not debate" (which is the real issue here) or the artificial drama you seemingly seek to perpetuate about how a document that was in the public domain and available to a whole load of sources on the web, came to be on ATS?
Can you not see that it made no difference whatsoever how it got here, because it existed outside of ATS before it came on to ATS?
It doesn't matter who was the first person to put it "out there". It was already there. Hell if I'd have seen it before anyone else did out there on the net I personally would have put it on here for debate, and I'd wager that countless other people that contribute to ATS on a daily basis would have done so also.
Its what happens on ATS. People present information, and it gets debated.

A) It was asked more than several times where the doc came from and information was witheld, and this gag order is perplexing, This withholding of information is the subject of concern, not whether it would have made a difference. Why do that at all?
B) the OP is not impartial...
