| | smh | So Obama spent $2mil covering up the fact that he is not a natural born citizen.
What then if Trump spends $2mil and can't find anything? |

| I just hope his creditors don't have to finance another bankruptcy due to his apparent idiocy. |

I'm super anxious to hear what you come up with after some time wondering if Trump turns up nothing.
Definitely keep me posted when you do - I cannot wait to hear your thoughts. Posted via VolNation Mobile |

| That interview was quality entertainment. At least Trump has a set and speaks his mind. Kind of rare these days and refreshing. |

Even if his thoughts warrant as much consideration as Snooki's address to Rutgers (Jersey represent!). The man is fun to watch. |

| | smh | No, IIRC, nationality is passed on from the father.
All I've ever seen from the birthers is a big pile of circumstantial evidence.
The law says he has to be a natural-born US citizen to be president. I don't think that law is necessary, but it is the law. If somebody can come forth with actual concrete evidence that he was born off US soil, then I will be in front of the line advocating for his removal from office. Until then, I see it as the best nutjob government conspiracy theory since 9/11. |

It's not like expect any of this to happen though. Even if it was discovered he was not born a US citizen I wouldn't be surprised if it was glossed over. Not like politicians actually pay attention to the rules governing them anyway. |

| after the 1994 elections, Larry Flynt launched a personal crusade to dig up dirt on as many GOP politicians as he could. I don't remember exactly how many he was able to publicly embarrass and drive from office, but the democrats at the time were just fine with what Flynt was doing. Even when asked why they were cheering on a smut merchant like Flynt, their reply was always, "well, as an American citizen, he has a 1st Amendment right to...."

The issue is not whether he's a citizen, it's whether he's a "natural born" citizen, i.e. born in the US.
Which there is no reason to think he isn't, until someone proves otherwise. I'm not sure a lack of birth certificate is even really "proof" proof. |
