ANKENY v GOVERNOR OF THE STATE OF INDIANA - APPEALS COURT OPINION - 11120903
Based upon the language of Article II, Section 1, Clause 4 and the guidance provided by Wong Kim Ark, we conclude that persons born within the borders of the United States are “natural born Citizens” for Article II, Section 1 purposes, regardless of the citizenship of their parents
AZ - 2012-03-07 - Allen v Obama C20121317 - ORDER Dismissing Complaint
and this precedent fully supports that President Obama is a natural born citizen under the Constitutionand thus qualified to hold the office of President.
See United States v. Wong Kim Ark , 169 U.S. 649, 702-03(1898) (addressing U. S. Const. amend. XIV);
Ankeny v. Governor of the State of Indiana , 916 N.E.2d 678,684-88 (Ind. App. 2010) (addressing the precise issue). Contrary to Plaintiff’s assertion, Minor v. Happersett ,88 U.S. 162 (1874), does not hold otherwise
Charles Tisdale v. Barack Obama, Ron Paul, Mitt Romney (D.C. Cir. 15-June-2012
On January 17, 2012, Charles Tisdale of Virginia brought a civil action before the US District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia. In the suit, Tisdale alleged that Barack Obama, Mitt Romney and Ron Paul each had a non-citizen parent, and therefore should be barred from the November 6, 2012, presidential ballot in Virginia. An amicus brief was filed in support of the Plaintiff by attorney Mario Apuzzo. District Judge John A. Gibney, Jr., dismissed the suit with prejudice because the Plaintiff "does not to state a claim upon which relief may be granted." Judge Gibney explained: "It is well settled that those born in the United States are considered natural born citizens."

until you learn how to interpret such a decision, please, leave it to the professionals, eh ?
that decision is irrelevant
and has been proven such over and over and over again.
we could argue the Minor v Happersett decision also but again, they're both arguments not relevant to the facts or decisive about the status of "natural born citizen".
either way, i'm not here to dispute facts or fiction.
any court case that shows Obama is a natural born citizen is irrelevant

when one is actually decided (instead of dismissed) it will then be relevant
and yes, Ark is irrelevant. been there, done that ages ago.
how could i forget ??
it's been a horrible experience. one that i couldn't wash away if i tried.

I said, clearly, more than once, that Obama demanded McCain verify his eligibility
You have said things in this thread that are just not true, so why should you be believed over that....
which is what Obama states that he himself should not have to do.
Except of course Obama has shown his BC's, but this is not about any bit of paper Obama shows, it is his colour. Birthers may deny that, but funny how the first black president somehow must show all these documents, when no previous president had to....

hmmmm, where do any of those provide evidence that BHO (any of them), posted or provided that image ??
yes, you are ... got anything substantial ?
you'll be waiting awhile as i don't participate in fence matches - besides, this isn't about any other POTUS.
no other POTUS had a high ranking member of the Muslim Brotherhood for a father.
no other sitting POTUS had a questionable origin.
and no other POTUS refused when asked.
oh, and to the best of my knowledge, no other POTUS utilized a multitude of names on legal documents or a variety of social security numbers.
aside from that, the Constitution doesn't have to, a higher authority already has.

The one thing you're forgetting about is that, due to a technicality John McCain WAS NOT A NATURAL BORN CITIZEN OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. When the constitution was written, the idea of military members serving in foreign countries and having families (i'm sure the founding fathers would have passed out from laughter if women in the military was mentioned) wasn't considered and therefore provisions weren't included. Since there was a very grey area in McCain's situation he was granted natural born status. You're asking for mountains of evidence for someone who was born in the USA and has provided proof of such but you somehow think it's weird that clarification was asked for someone who was 100% definitely born in a foreign country?
P.S. If the birthers have such a strong case, why is 90% of their "evidence" bold faced lies? We're living in a time where a citizen of the soviet union is actually given credibility (by the more delusional members of the population) while attacking the democratically elected POTUS. McCarthy must be spinning in his grave.

Let me ask you this - what would it take to convince you beyond the shadow of a doubt that Obama was born in Hawaii?
