Quote:At the very least, if there was any truth to the claim, it would do a great job of being another senseless distraction to the president, offering no value to anyone except a group of people who put their petty prejudices and politics ahead of the welfare of the nation. They, no matter where they were born, are the true aliens, and traitors to our culture and customs.It hardly seems that the original intent of "natural born" would be to deny citizenship to the baby of a young American woman who happened to give birth abroad while she was away on a trip.
In a weird irony though, this is the same kind of underhanded political legalese that won Obama his Illinois seat where he dug in and had all his political opponents disqualified from the ballot.
