“Just so we’re clear about the timeline, SCOTUS ruled that citizenship could not be taken away, and had to be renounced, back in 1967.”

Not according to the information I got in 1985. Isn’t that the whole point - if you become a citizen of a hostile country, you lose your U.S. citizenship?

No.

There's a difference between birthright citizenship and naturalized citizenship. The latter may be revoked, the former not so easily. One needs to take certain deliberate actions, as extreme as taking arms against the US.

And in any case, a child wouldn't qualify. They can't renounce citizenship until achieving majority, nor can parents do it for them.

You're barking up the wrong tree here. There are no circumstances under which Obama could have ceases to be a natural-born citizen.

Ugh.

“could have ceased”.

“....There are no circumstances under which Obama could have ceases to be a natural-born citizen.....”

That’s if he ever was one in the first place.

For all we know, he could have been some orphan from wherever, or some “djakarta street kid”.

Now that would be interesting.....

Can an ORPHAN become POTUS?
