I am loathe to wade in to this discussion
, for many reasons. I chose to say "it's complicate
d" because it's not as cut and dried as you imply.
Let's hypothetic
ally say that Obama had been born outside of the US, just like McCain (and I have no doubt that had McCain won, Obama's 'most ardent supporters
' would be denigrated as "birthers"
). The fact is that in the US, what's 'legal' is what the Congress and/or the Courts' declare. Once it's pronounced (and in the case of a president'
s qualificat
ions, it's the US Senate that makes such pronouncem
ents), it's done. If the US Senate decided it wanted Arnold Schwarzene
gger to become president, it would declare that he met the Constituti
onal qualificat
ions (35 years old and natural born) if it took passing legislatio
n adopting Austria as a US territory and making it retroactiv
e.
The US Senate already made that declaratio
n about Obama in a backhanded way when
it declared McCain to be "natural born" in a resolution co-sponsor
ed by Obama.
What is "legal" is what the American people allow. That's really the bottom line. And with our political atmosphere of saying something often enough, loud enough, not taking no for an answer and wearing people down, those so motivated get what they want.
With the 'New World Order', a one world economy, beyond borders, corporate governance
, we're moving in the direction of foreign-bo
rn presidents
. There already is a move afoot within the establishm
ent elites change the legal definition for 'natural born' to be interchang
eable with 'a corporatio
n chartered in the US', so that, for example, a CEO of a transnatio
nal corporatio
n headquarte
red or doing business in the US would be qualified.
