I invoked the imagery of a military coup to reference the futility of those who are hanging their hat on the birther movement.
As one Constitutional scholar on Fox News said a few years ago, even if he doesn't fit the criteria for the natural-born citizen, there is no provision on how that clause would be enforced. So, I jumped past B-Y in the logic train and basically said, "Even IF he wasn't born in the U.S. - who's going to remove him? The Secret Service? The military? Armed Congressmen?"
I was drawing a stronger parallel to Elizabeth Warren, who lied about her heritage to gain advantages in school and during her early career.
The point was that this article is NOT intended to bolster evidence for birthers. It's to show the disingenuous nature of BHO, his handlers, and his marketing engine.
He's an opportunistic chameleon.

Re: obama a Kenyan?
Standard procedure is for him to approve the bio if he didn't write it. I don't think this has much to do with the birther movement, and I'm guessing those railing against birthers didn't read the whole article.
Regardless, one of two things is most likely true:
1. Obama claimed (or allowed it to be claimed on his behalf) to be born in Kenya and raised in Hawaii and Indonesia to obtain some sort of advantage in the same vein as Democrat Elizabeth Warren's current claims to be Cherokee. . .
OR
2. He was born in Kenya and doctored up a birth certificate.
The truth won't change the 2008 election. It shouldn't be harped on in the hope that the military or some other entity forcibly removes him.
It should be highlighted to show that he will intentionally lie, deceive, and embellish even something as non-trivial as where he was born based on the prevailing winds and what leverage he can gain from it.
