Barack Obama a Natural-born Citizen?

I don't know if Barack Obama is a natural-born U.S. citizen. I don't know if John McCain is a natural-born U.S. Citizen. I haven't seen either of their birth certificates personally.

This is a copy of Barack Obama's birth certificate. To my untrained eye this looks like a legit certificate. However, with technology today there is always the chance that someone faked this document. There is always room to be skeptical. I think it is healthy to have a certain level of skepticism. But there is a line.

The Supreme Court has said it will not hear a case challenging Obama's citizenship. This case was brought by a New Jersey man, Leo Donofrio. Donofrio also claims that John McCain is not a natural-born U.S. Citizen. The court has made no comment about it's decision.

The question that we need to decide before a case is heard is what constitutes a natural-born U.S. Citizen?

1. Is it someone whose parents are both U.S. citizens already?

2. Is it someone born on U.S. soil?

3. Can you be a natural born U.S. citizen if you were born to U.S. Parents on foreign soil?

4. Can you be a natural born U.S. citizen if you are born in the U.S. to foreign parents?

5. If you are born on a U.S. military base in Japan to a U.S. father and a Japanese mother are you a natural-born U.S. citizen?

These are tough questions to answers because our constitution does not give us clear direction as to what a natural-born U.S. citizen is, it is left open to interpretation. Therefore, we rely on the Supreme Court to make that decision for us (Marbury v. Madison). That is why I believe that the Supreme Court should hear this man's case, it would give us precedent as to what it means to be a natural-born U.S. citizen.

O.J. Simpson Goes to the Big House

It is about time. This man is a prime example of getting away with murder. He did it. He thought he could fool the justice system again, but he was sorely mistaken.

He pleaded with the judge. He apologized to the judge. But she had already made her mind up what the sentence was going to be. He is going to serve a minimum of nine years and a maximum of 33 years.

I know the judge and Fred Goldman said this has nothing to do with the murder committed 13 years ago, but you could see in their eyes that it did. Everyone knows he killed his wife and Ron Goldman.

However, he is not going to jail for murder. He was found guilty of robbery and kidnapping with a deadly weapon, among other charges. The judge expressed her view that O.J. was both stupid and arrogant because he felt he did nothing wrong.

Enjoy your time in prison O.J. and do us all a favor, don't try and appeal this case. You committed the crime, now you should do the time. By the way, don't drop the soap.

5. The Federalist Papers by Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison

This is the most difficult to read and understand, that is why it is at the bottom of the list. However, I would say this is the most important book of the five.
