Before getting to the two stories, CountryFirst forum moderator “Mountain Publis Goat” enlightens us on the history concerning the scope and importance of the natural born citizen verbiage in the Constitution’s presidential eligibility clause:
[The natural born citizen "class"] is not a small group but the vast and overwhelming majority of U.S. citizens. Natural born citizens are 2nd generation Americans with both parents being citizens at the time of their birth. Thus they have deeper roots to this country than the type of ordinary citizen Obama’ is, if he is. This is what the founders and framers wanted for the singular office of the President and CINC. Senators and Reps and Govs can be first generation Americans. But for the person who controls and commands our military, per John Jay to Washington, they inserted the natural born citizen clause which require a 2nd generation american via both parents. Total allegiance via the parents having been born here or swearing allegiance to the USA. Obama’s father never did that. In fact Obama’s father was never even a permanent resident or immigrant to the USA at all.

By raising the issue, “she certainly is painting herself into the far right corner,” said Rhodes College political science professor Marcus Pohlmann. “Normally you don’t propose a solution unless there’s a problem; so what’s the problem?…It seems an odd one to pull out of the blue in a pre-emptive way.”
Blackburn’s spokesman Claude H. Chafin defended her sponsorship.
“Most Americans are probably surprised that they don’t” have to document meeting the requirement, said Chafin. “A lot of people expressed surprise to her since (last year’s presidential campaign) that people don’t have to actually document anything.”
