Constitutional Masturbation

This is basically crazy. A child of two American citizens is a citizen by birth, not by paperwork, and therefore a "natural born citizen," right? Anyone who even bothers to argue about this either has a political interest in it and no sense of humor (Olsen) or is the type of scholar who loves a really detailed dream he once had about troops being forced into private homes by the weather in Alaska, and the resulting 3rd Amendment challenges (Tribe).

I will note, though, that anyone who thinks that Obama gets some sort of special treatment because no one can use his middle name should consider John Sidney McCain, III, a name which is really almost as politically toxic as Hussein.
