For his school transcripts ... he has the right to say no, and we have no right to see them. If you want it released, thats fine. But just remember that he's under no obligation to do so.
And you are 100% incorrect about the definition of a natural born citizen. The fact is that nowhere is it completely defined. All that has to happen is that he has to be a citizen of the US at birth, which he was. His mother was a US citizen, and he was born in Hawaii - problem solved. He has no citizenship elsewhere. End of story. Are you just not paying attention to this having been proven wrong, or are you just not looking?
As far as how he got started on his path of education, I cant debate that because I do not really know much about it. For all I know, you may be right with your suspicions on it. I wont attempt to talk out my arse to prove this wrong.
And you are 100% incorrect about me being 100% incorrect
The rule of statutory construction, with regard to the Constitution, was stated by Chief Justice Marshall in Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. 137 (1803):
“It cannot be presumed that any clause in the constitution is intended to be without effect; and therefore such construction is inadmissible, unless the words require it.” I
If the 14th Amendment was held to declare that all persons born in the country, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, were natural-born citizens, then the “natural born Citizen” clause would be rendered inoperative. It would be superfluous. And its specific provision would, therefore, be governed by the general provision of the 14th Amendment. The United States Supreme Court has determined that it is inadmissible to even make that argument.
Any genuine construction of the “natural born Citizen” clause must begin from the starting point that it requires something more than citizenship by virtue of being born on U.S. soil. Minor v. Happersett, 88 U.S. 162 (1874), tells you exactly what that something is; citizen parents.
So much for your opinion about that........Don't you hate being wrong. But you go ahead and tell me I am anyways, i don't mind. If you need it further explained, if you ask me nicely I will do so. I do not seek to single out any person as being "purer" than the other. I know that they are both unworthy of the presidency. But I find it hard to sit quietly when someone tells me the words I plainly see written before me are not there, or mean something other than what I see, I can not let it go unchallenged with a clear conscience. Like when people try to convince me that the 10th Amendment gives the Federal Branch the power to overrule the voters of their state when ever they do not like the results of an election. I will concede that they do do it, but I will never concede that it is lawful to do so.
About you expertise in the field of scanned documents. I have scanned countless documents, I hate to think how many documents I have scanned. Never one time did they come back in layers. Even after pressing the Convert to PDF, did they mysteriously give me layers. Not saying it is not possible, but the stranger the locations of such an anomaly, and the more such anomalies happen on a single document, the more it seems"Funny" to me. Please stop insinuating I am stating that he was in fact born anywhere, because I have said any such thing. All I have stated is things seem odd to me and I would like clarification that is deeper than what has been presented to me thus far. Why this upsets you so much I do not understand, but I have my suspicians why you and others who find this subject so sensitive would feel this way.
Now I do respect your view about Obama not being under any obligation to show his school records, and I agree 100%....right until his people start demanding Romney show more of his tax records than what is required, and him not saying No No No, Mr.Romney should not show more than he already has and is required to.
Turnabout is fair play is it not?

The Republican party establishment just doesn't stop do they?
Why is it that they have to keep changing rules and making outrageous claims in order to help their chances in the election?
They screw with Ron Paul, changing the rules of engagement as they went.
Now a bunch of Republicans in Kansas want to drudge-up birth certificate questions so they can find a way to exclude Obama from the ballot?
Seriously, why can't they focus on their message and provide a solid platform instead of playing dirty tricks to manipulate the game?edit on 16-9-2012 by sheepslayer247 because: (no reason given)

besides, IF you are an American, look at your own ... why would you need to see mine or any others for that matter ??
it's not like the information varies from state to state, it's a standard form or did the standard part confuse you ??
