A term used to label individuals who wish to maintain and assure that the presidential-requirement of being born on American soil is adhered to.
Birthers hold that Arnold Swartzenegger would not meet this presidential-requirement because he was born in Austria.

A conspiracy theorist who believes that Barack Obama is ineligible for the Presidency of the United States, based on any number of claims related to his place of birth, birth certificate, favorite birthday, or whether or not he has heard the song Africa by Toto.
"Did you know that Barack Obama's parents concealed the location of his birth because they knew he would grow up to be President? What? Of course it makes sense, I'm a birther!"
by Brent Elliott December 9, 2008
The questioning of Barrack Obama's qualification for presidency, based on hearsay that he is not a natural born citizen of the United States. Birtherism's origins lie in the incredibly naive, conservative followers of Sarah Palin, Donald Trump, and Glenn Beck, who believe anything they are told because they are dumb, uneducated racists.
Donald Trump recently converted to birtherism when he publicly accused Obama of being born out of country.

an inbred racist redneck who can't accept the idea of a black man in the White House so they make up ridiculous lies about Barack Obama
According to U.S. law there are 2 ways a person can be considered a natural born citizen:
1. Law of the soil
Anyone born on U.S. soil is automatically considered a natural born citizen no matter where their parents were from and even if their parents were in the country illegally.
2. Law of the blood
If a person has at least one parent who is a U.S. citizen they are automatically considered a natural born citizen no matter where they are born.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
John McCain was born in Panama but his parents were U.S. citizens so McCain is a natural born citizen by law of the blood. Barack Obama was born in the state of Hawaii so he is a natural born citizen by law of the soil. Even if Obama had been born in Kenya or some other country as the birther morons have alleged his mother was a U.S. citizen so he would still be a natural born citizen by law of the blood.

1) A conspiracy theorist convinced of his/her intellectual superiority and rightness about Obama's birth on another planet, star or galaxy far, far away and long, long ago--or anywhere as long as it's not in the U.S. (e.g., Kenya--or maybe Sirius, as in "Are you?? Really!??").
2) An ignoranus whose religion and entire life purpose just ended April 27, 2011 when the legitimate President of the United States, Barack Hussein Obama, II, released his legitimate, long-form birth certificate issued in Hawaii--a non-news event ridiculously treated as news by the blithering, lemming media.
3) An inbred cousin of Patrick, the retarded starfish on Spongebob Squarepants who said: "Stupid people are blissfully unaware of just how stupid they really are. (Droooooool)"
4) A stupidiot moron sponging off the Idiocracy formerly known as the United States of America, and focusing attention on something unimportant and already verified, to distract from real problems for real people.

Birthers are criminally insane, low-IQ conservative religious fanatic, wide stanced, knuckle dragging morons who believe that Obama's parents knew he would be president when he was born and had a fake birth certificate made up indicating he was born in the U.S.
Glug...glug...yuk...yep, i reckon that filthy neeger was born in Kenya and his salt and pepper folks knew he was da anti-christ way ahead of time. Hey! Who are ya callin' birthers?

someone who believes that someone with black skin can't possibly be a real american, and thus cannot legally serve as president.
I'm a proud birther: I think everybody whose skin is darker than mine should be deported... or forced to work in the service industry for other whites like myself.
