2) Even if Hawaii prohibits public disclosure of Obama’s birth certificate, there is nothing that prohibits OBAMMA from disclosing it and providing a hard copy document to the court which has demanded it. The same would be true for his medical records, and his financial records, which he has relinquished. Only in the case of birth/natural citizenship issue, it is a US Constitutional requirement that needs to be met/proven. I understand he has spent about a half-million dollars to stonewall this specific issue.

3) My question is: Why didn’t this matter get taken care of much, much, much earlier? It is a requirement in the Constitution that we all learn about in grade school. Was a “fox guarding the chicken coup?”

Chin’s claim that having been born when and where he was there are only two ways for McCain to be a “natural born” citizen is gravely mistaken, and ignores several centuries worth of common law on this very subject, running back to the time of Edward III and confirmed by the First Congress in the very first Immigration Act passed under the new Constitution.

“And the children of citizens of the United States that may be born beyond the sea, or out of the limits of the United States, shall be considered as natural born citizens: Provided, That the right of citizenship shall not descend to persons whose fathers have never been resident in the United States”. –First Congress, Act of March 26th, 1790, 1 Stat. 103.

Had McCain been born to U.S. citizens NOT on military or diplomatic assignment living in the Canal Zone, maybe Chin might have a point. But that is not the case, and that he was born there because of his father’s assignment there by the government as an agent of the government automatically makes him a “natural born” citizen under original intent, original meaning, and common law running back to the 1300’s.
