WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN “CITIZEN” AND “NATURAL BORN CITIZEN”
by JeanWTPUSA, blogging at We the People USA(Apr. 30, 2011) — I could have bet anything that the timing was right for Obama to release his Birth Certificate, which, by the way, is already being picked apart by the Birthers. See video here.
But for me and many others I have spoken to over the years, the questions regarding Obama’s “eligibility” had more to do with the fact that Obama does not meet the “Natural Born Citizen” standard of Article II of the Constitution than what hospital he was born at in Hawaii.
If you listen to the MSM, you’ll hear the term ”citizen” and “Natural Born Citizen” used interchangeably. What they fail to realize or talk about is that to be NBC, you have to be born on US soil to PARENTS (plural) who are US Citizens. Birthers have suspected that Obama was NOT a NBC all along and now with the release of the long-form, know for sure, that Obama does not meet the NBC requirements to be POTUS. You can read this great synopsis on NBC here, here or here.
But it’s not just the kookie, right wing-fringe that is questioning Obama’s bona fides. Trump may have moved the BC issue into the MSM, but others, like Notre Dame Law Professor Emeritus Charles Rice, have also questioned Obama’s eligibility or lack thereof.
