2. EVEN if Obama was born in Hawaii; he is not a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN as the Constitution requires because his father was a British citizen with an allegiance to another country. The founding fathers were grandfathered from this requirement as none of them would have otherwise qualified.
3. By the time this was ready for the Supreme Court to address it was probably too hot a potato for them to want to handle.
4. Nevertheless, things just got more interesting with the military changing Major Stefan's orders rather than expecting Obama to prove his qualification to be president in court. Looks like a great get out of war card which someone else is likely to attempt again in the future.  |
1. You (and Coadie, who's been told before but refuses to read it) misunderstand the wording of that part of the immigration law. I'll try and find it later, but it was explained, I believe on Snopes. In addition, since Obama was born in Hawaii (there has yet to be proof presented to the contrary), this doesn't apply to him. Here's a link for you though.

2. Do you have the definition of 'natural born citizen' according to the INS? According to Snopes, there isn't one. It's left up to the individual states to define it, from what I've read. According to the 14th amendment, even if both of his parents were non-citizens, him being born in Hawaii makes him a natural born American citizen.
3. I don't believe that if there was any credibility to his non-citizenship that the Republicans would have let it go.
4. I don't know what to say about that. LOL!
