The US Constitution provides no definition for the term natural-born citizen. As a result this clause must be defined and clarified. The job of defining and clarifying laws falls to the courts. The courts have consistently defined birthright citizenship being equivalent to natural-born citizenship. Therefore, the term natural-born citizen is legally defined as birthright citizenship.

This is of course, political theater you know.
Will charges be brought? I doubt it.
The Judicial will claim no one has standing outside the Justice department to make any case against the POTUS.
Considering the subordination of the Justice Department under the Executive branch that doesn't seem like a realistic scenario.
Congress is 9/10ths behind immunity for any club members - so forget about them.

Bill Clinton was impeached and later acquited for lying under oath about his sex scandal.
Richard Nixon was given a presidential pardon about the watergate scandal.

Exactly!
And the executive branch is under subordination of the IRS, which is under subordination of the FED, which is under subordination of the IMF.............

I think only house representatives can be impeached, found guilty and then sent to jail. Senators and above you get a free pass, unless you backstab someone important and they come after you with the wrath of satan.

And I have now provided what that last section means twice now. I have even said you can search for that proviso on the internet and you will find lawyers explaining what it means in simple language. They agree with the way I have read it. All the sections left out allow for is the ability for children born to employees of an embassy or in the military to confer birthright citizenship upon their children even if they have never set foot in the United States.

Bill Clinton was impeached by the House of Representatives.
- Perjury -
But not removed from office by the US Senate.
Bill Clinton was also temporarily disbarred from practicing law.
He paid a $25,000 fine and his law license was suspended for 5 years.
Apparently, lying under oath is a no no.edit on 2-3-2012 by Eurisko2012 because: (no reason given)

Art I US Const. (candidate for congress)
No Person shall be a Representative who shall not have attained to the Age of twenty five Years, and been seven Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State in which he shall be chosen.
Art I US Const. (candidate for Senate)
No Person shall be a Senator who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty Years, and been nine Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State for which he shall be chosen
Art II US Const. (candidate for President)
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.
For Congress: 25 years old, and US citizen for seven years.
For Senate: 30 years old, and US citizen for nine years.
For President: 35 years old, natural born citizen, or ( being a citizen at the time the Constitution was adopted.), and living in the US for 14 years prior to election.
NOTE: Obama was not alive at the time the Constitution was adopted. therefore he would have to be a natural born citizen, not an immigrant such as is allowed for Senate, and for Congress. In fact, even natural born citizens must be living in the US for 14 years prior to running for President of the US.
There is a big difference to being an immigrant citizen, and being a natural born citizen.

An illegal immigrant? Really? So now you're suggesting that his mother, his grandparents, and everyone else on his mother's side of the family forged their birth certificates as well? As long as the mother of a child is a US citizen that child is also a US citizen regardless of where they're born. Of course I'm not seeing anything here that wasn't addressed when the birth certificate was first posted so all of that is a moot issue as Obama was born in Hawaii.
