Re: "President-elect Obama is ineligible to be President of the United States"

The United States Supreme Court had ample, and repeated, opportunities to question both McCain's and Obama's "natural born" constitutional status (as several appeals were placed before the Justices challenging the eligibility of each)... but the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously rejected all such claims.

If we are to be a 'nation of laws' then our Highest Court is the ultimate arbiter of all our laws --- not wild-eyed conspiracy theorists preaching from their Web-top soapboxes.

If the primacy of the Supreme Court in ruling on questions relating to the interpretation of our Constitution is *not respected*, then we ARE NOT a 'nation of laws' any longer... but some anarchistic form of protean blob --- where there are no rules and anything goes if you only believe in it enough. :-)

And, as "Bill" commented:

Bill wrote on Dec 29, 2008 3:56 PM:
" It is generally agreed that Article II, Section 1 of our constitution means anyone born on American soil to parents who are U.S. citizens is a natural born citizen eligible to become president.

So what you take issue with is the word "Parents".

It is accepted that only one parent needs to be a U.S. Citizen.

Your argument is not valid nor corroborated by any official entity. "
