It's spelled out pretty clearly in modern, precise, 2012 language.
Precisely. Given that Obama's mother is a citizen, his father was not, and his parents do not meet the time requirements for living inside the U.S. prior to Obama's birth, what the entire argument boils down to is that if Obama was actually born in Hawaii, he's a citizen. If he was born in Kenya, he is not a citizen.
Without significant evidence to the contrary, all you have is supposition that it is a forgery. I has, as of yet, seen no indication that is the case.
Really? The Alabama judge has seen
significant evidence to the contrary. Have you looked through the evidence she presents on her site, or are you merely blowing it off as "birther crap?"
The grand conspiracy proposed, that involves forging a bunch of signatures then forcing the secretary of state to sign it as a true and exact copy is just laughably ludicrous.
I'm not sure why you find it "ludicrous" when both corporations and our government has involved itself with similar and even more elaborate deceptions of the public which have been revealed over time.
The fact that the supposed "modification" artifacts exist both in the certificate itself as well as the signature show that they're clearly not what's being touted as evidence of forgery.
Semantically, your sentence doesn't make sense. Regardless, the modification artifacts are of such a nature as would never exist with scanned original document. Furthermore, they are precisely the type indicating what would result from a document that was electronically created from scans of multiple sources including blank document, signatures, and "official" stamps.
Basically, anyone still claiming not enough documentation is dragging along a lot of personal baggage against the president.
Straw man fallacy.
It's stupid, counterproductive to moving forward in any meaningful manner, and belies a deep failure to engage their minds towards productive ends.
Personal attack.
Paramedic: you were right about Jackson, I wasn't paying much attention when I mentioned that, and I was wrong to mention it. The criticism that "a person not born to two citizens is not a natural born citizen" is still spurious and stupid. I suppose a better example would be George Romney, born in Mexico (and not on US soil like McCain), who ran for President, whose son is running for president. Both are legally "natural born citizens", but *gasp* one was born outside the US and became a citizen because of the way US law is written.
This statement is at odds with
the link you posted to USC 8.12.III.1.1401. Again, "Given that Obama's mother is a citizen, his father was not, and his parents do not meet the time requirements for living inside the U.S. prior to Obama's birth, what the entire argument boils down to is that if Obama was actually born in Hawaii, he's a citizen. If he was born in Kenya, he is not a citizen."
Without significant evidence to the contrary, all you have is supposition that it is a forgery.
Significant evidence has been presented, in court, both supporting Obama's birth in Kenya, as well as calling into question the legitimacy of his claim of an Hawaiian birth:
P1. Affidavit of Licensed investigator, certified by the Department of Homeland Security, Susan Daniels, showing Obama using a Connecticut SSN 042-68-4425
P2. Affidavit of Senior Deportation Officer with the Department of Homeland Security John Sampson, showing that Obama is using Connecticut SSN 042-68-4425 and stating, that there is no legitimate reason for him to use a Connecticut SSN, as he was never a resident of Connecticut
p3. Affidavit of Adobe Illustrator expert Felicito Papa, showing Obama’s alleged true and correct copy of his birth certificate to be a computer generated forgery
P4. Affidavit of witness Linda Jordan, attesting to the fact, that SSN 042-68-4425, used by Obama, does not pass E-Verify
p5. Affidavit of attorney Orly Taitz, and selective service printout, showing Obama using CT SSN 042-68-44245
p6. Selective service certificate showing Obama using SSN 042-68-4425 and official printout from Social Security Number Verification Services, showing that 042-68-4425 was never issued to Barack Obama, attached e-mail from Colonel Gregory Hollister
p7. Affidavit of Adobe Illustrator expert Felicito Papa, showing that Obama is using CT SSN 042-68-4425 on his 2009 tax returns
p8. Affidavit of printing and scanning machines expert Douglas Vogt, attesting to the fact, that Obama’s alleged copy of his birth certificate, is indeed a forgery
p9. Hawaiian birth certificate 61-00637 of Susan Nordyke, born a few hours after Obama in Kapiolani Hospital, looks completely different from alleged copy of birth certificate of Obama
p10. Passport records of Stanley Ann Dunham Obama, mother of Barack Obama, showing Obama listed in her passport under the name Barack Obama Soebarkah, attached affidavit by Chris Strunk, recipient of Obama’s passport records under FOIA
p11. Barack Obama’s Indonesian school registration card #203, date accepted January 1, 1968, released by the Associated Press in Indonesia, showing him using last name Soetoro and listing citizenship –Indonesia.

In accordance with
the law, the evidence is indeed substantial. Not only does it indicate he is not a U.S. Citizen, it also indicates his short-form certificate was either a forgery or issued after the fact in violation of federal law, and that his long-form was clearly a modern electronic forgery.
