Can you get a passport if you were born in another country to an American mother? You would have some sort of birth certificate. I don’t know the answer, but I don’t think the argument is that he’s not an American Citizen.
You CAN get a passport if you are born in another country to TWO foreign parents, provided you become a naturalized citizen. That's my case. Now, if having a US passport is enough to qualify someone to run for president, I want to run in 2012! I feel I'm more of a patriot than many people in this thread.
No. You either have to be born on US soil (including military bases, etc.) or BOTH parents have to be US citizens.
You would have some sort of birth certificate. I don’t know the answer, but I don’t think the argument is that he’s not an American Citizen.
Well, my point is that, if Obama doesn't have a birth certificate because he was born in Kenya, and since we have no indication that he ever was naturalised as a citizen, then he would have to be an illegal immigrant. BUT, since he obviously got a passprt in the past, then he obviously had a legitimate birth certificate at some point, so he is a natural born citizen.
I know this disappoints the conspiracy theorists, but it is what it is, nevertheless.
