How do you come to the conclusion that Obama's status as a natural born citizen is a red herring? I would agree that it has become irrelevant due to the fact no one is inclined to force the issue but the fact remains, it is a serious issue. We, as a nation, keep slipping further and further away from the rule of law until, one day, we find ourselves at the mercy of men with no laws or convictions. |

None of the rest of the Constitution seems to apply to the current administration. Why would the provisions about being a natural born citizen apply either? |

What "FACT?"
I'm probably the MOST reflexively anti-Obaman here from a policy standpoint but without repeating undocumented internet rumors such as Kenyan birth, falsification of records, intervention by Elvis Presley and other "facts" - I'm not sure where we can go in "proving" that Obama is not a citizen. |

name one Presidnet in the last 50 years that would WILLINGLY, and without asking, sit on the front lines with our soilders to defend this nation for no other reason than his belief in what we stand for, and because it would gain him points in some political score card?
Dare I got back 100 years? 150???
The last Presidnet... er..um President at the front lines? (Sorry,could not resist) I am not sure, but the last unsupervised President under active fire would have been Lincoln. He visited Fort Stevens on the Washington outer defenses during July of 1864. The base commander made a polite but non sincere query to Mr. Lincoln if he would like a tour of the base defenses not thinking for a moment that Lincoln would accept as the fort was presently under heavy small arms fire. Well Lincoln who was famously anxious every moment of the war and even more so for any excuse of diversion from the viper pit where he had played snake charmer for the past 4 years accepted. Lincoln scooted his lanky butt right up a ladder and with stovepipe hat and all, surveyed the view from over the forts wall, meanwhile bullets twittering about his head. The officer pleaded with Lincoln albeit as a subordinate would to the commander in chief to repair to safety but the President was either oblivious or ignored his pleas. However down below, behind the safety of the fort's walls, future Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, jr, a captain in the Army of the Potomac, saw Lincoln peering over the parapet and only recognizing him as a civilian shouted "Get down, you damned fool, before you get shot!" Lincoln heard this , smiled and came down the ladder.
That would be Theodore Roosevelt. During his time with the rough riders - lol
