He should just do tha before elecition day so independents van decide if its ok with them to have a foriegn President. It's so easy just to release it. But he must think it's damaging in some way. Sorry, he will need it in order to be on the ballow in numerous states. They are passing laws as we speak.

Hilarious and smart. Now the press is on board that obama's has not produced his real birth certificate! Obama has spent 2 million dollars to prevent release. Very strange. Arizona and Iowa are passing laws that it will need to be produced to be on the ballot. The GOP is considering not debating a candidate that hasn't produced it. 51 % of public doubt Obama was born here. He can instruct Hawaii to release it but will not. The same is true of all of his school, university and post grad records, a very untransparent, mysterious, secretive, hard to know and odd president.
Blah blah blah blah blah. It doesn't matter. Obama wins, you lose. He does not have to produce a damn thing. And if I were him, I'd sing the Kenyan national anthem on inauguration day and serve ugali just to make your head explode.

I say, relax the 'natural born' citizen requirement and let Arnold Schwarzenegger run for Pres.]
Can you give some documentation of the precise meaning of "natural born"? My understanding is that, although what you described is the traditional understanding, it has never been adjudicated because it has never come up in practice.

Just drop it already! Aren't there more important issues to be debating?
