“Even IF (big IF) he was born in HI, he inherited his father’s foreign citizenship as well, making him a US citizen by US law and the subject of the crown of her majesty the Queen of England by inheritance and England’s law.”
If Putin declares all US citizens are automatically Russian citizens, does that make it impossible for anyone to be President? After all, by act of a foreign country, we would all have dual citizenship...
And we once went to war with England over the issue:
“The United States believed that British deserters had a right to become United States citizens. Britain did not recognise naturalised United States citizenship, so in addition to recovering deserters, it considered United States citizens born British liable for impressment. Exacerbating the situation was the widespread use of forged identity papers by sailors. This made it all the more difficult for the Royal Navy to distinguish Americans from non-Americans and led it to impress some Americans who had never been British. (Some gained freedom on appeal.)[20] American anger at impressment grew when British frigates stationed themselves just outside U.S. harbors in U.S. territorial waters and searched ships for contraband and impressed men in view of U.S. shores.[21] “Free trade and sailors’ rights” was a rallying cry for the United States throughout the conflict.”

Has to be the most retarded argument I've ever seen.
Really? Seriously?? What if...what if...what if?
Of course such an act would not be internationally recognized.
Besides...taking your what if....what if then the U.S. Congress declared all the world's population to be U.S. citizens? Then everybody would be eligible within a generation and nobody would be able to "un-declare" that declaration. Ridiculous, in the least.
Bottom line, the United States of America can NOT prevent a child born in this country, from inheriting his/her foreign father's citizenship.
Heck, even your buddies over at fts and his very own campaign web site acknowledge this fact.
Obama was born a subject to the crown of her majesty the Queen of England....NO MATTER WHERE HE WAS BORN!
BUMP
Rogers, you need to drop this lame strawman argument. Obama's father had British/Kenyan citizenship. His child has a direct claim to citizenship. It's not on the basis of an arbitrary declaration over people with whom there is no jurisdiction.
