What if Obama becomes a really awesome president? As Dancing Mustard always said,"The Constitution is an archaic document..."
I know, I know, I am straying from my original position a bit; but I was just thinking that there are a lot of
old laws on the books that are completely retarded and we wouldn't even consider prosecuting anyone over them or implementing them (dancing on Sunday; not serving cheddar cheese with apple pie; if three or more Indians are walking down the street together, they can be considered a war party and fired upon.[that last one is still on the books in Spearfish, South Dakota!

Let's take a closer look at the
Naturalization Act of 1790 (much for the basis of immigration and American citizenship). Within that act only WHITE people were allowed to become citizens, surely Black Elk, Juan, or myself do not see that as a good aspect of that particular law. Why? Because times and ways of thought have changed. The same could very well hold true for the "natural born citizen" clause. Perhaps that too is in need of a "change of thought" and a well awaited definition.
The same tactic had been tried on Barry Goldwater and John McCain. Now, yes, in all technicality these gentlemen were not exactly born in the United States; but to question their allegiance and loyalty to America? Come on. The same could also hold true for Obama, plus he did win the election which was the will of the people.
Yes, Obama perhaps through some technicality in law might not exactly be a citizen; but we should actually weigh what would be more damaging to the country right now? I would say that ruling Obama a fraud wouldn't be a positive step for the country at this particular moment in time, and I believe that the Supreme Court will see it this way. Despite my feelings on the matter, I have to be truthful about this. I am not an Obama supporter, but for the greater good of our country, I have to say that Obama should stay president, otherwise the rift in the United States would be blown wide open.
What the Supreme Court decides in regards to this matter of citizenship, I will abide fully and I will not discuss it anymore. But for the meantime, Obama isn't president yet and he's fair game!
