So far, just a repeat of the 7 minute video. Wait and see, I imagine BR and Post & Email will get a few hits this weekend
Mar. 7, 2014) — BirtherReport.com and The Post & Email can report that an exclusive interview was conducted on Friday evening with Barrister Michael Shrimpton, who first appeared in a video released on February 26, 2014 stating unequivocally that Barack Hussein Obama "was born in Mombasa, Kenya."
Topics discussed during the two-hour interview include the meaning of the U.S. Constitution's Article II "natural born Citizen" clause;....; what is really driving the unrest in Ukraine; the death of novelist Tom Clancy; and the actions Shrimpton believes should be taken as a result of Obama's usurpation of the presidency.
"He's not a U.S. citizen," Shrimpton told BirtherReport and this writer in a riveting session conducted over Skype.

Just tried going to birtherreport, it redirects to google.
We need a Drudge siren.
I just tried and it worked. Maybe glitch, maybe practice. I fully expect one day to not be able to see anything I want to see on the internet, or no internet at all.
Safari and Firefox both redirect to google. Cleared cache, no help.
I could get there a few hours ago.
Buchanan's father emigrated to the United States in 1783. What makes you say that he was naturalized, if he was here prior to ratification of the Constitution? There was no naturalization law until the Constitution was ratified, so he would be a citizen who was grandfathered in, right?

OOps, posted link to something else!
Here’s the link that worked for me, still works.

Buchanan’s father (also named James Buchanan) was a citizen of Ireland who had immigrated to the United States and became naturalized as an American citizen.
The information not supplied here is important. Buchanan's father immigrated to the colonies in 1783 and when the Constitution was adopted (1787) all residents of the United States had citizenship (Naturalization) conferred upon them immediately. James was born four years later in 1791 to a now recognized by "Naturalization Law" American Citizen. So.....James was born of the soil and born of the blood.....a "Natural Born Citizen".
What exactly is it about this apparently difficult (for you) scenario that you don't understand?
My regular link is working again.
Drudge siren off. :)
Chester Arthur lied about his father's citizenship records and, in fact...destroyed all of his own personal papers afterwards in a continuing effort to conceal the truth. He was quite aware he was not considered a "Natural Born Citizen".
Vice President Chester Arthur succeeded Garfield to the presidency after Garfield's assassination and was never elected as the prime candidate.
Honorary citizenship.
I hereby grant every Iranian honorary naturalized citizenship. They can all run for president..
Here is a copy of William Arthur’s 1843 Certificate of Naturalization:
http://naturalborncitizen.files.wordpress.com/2008/12/william-arthur-naturalization.pdf
William Arthur was a well known Protestant Minister in New England and his son never lied about his father’s status because it wasn’t an issue.
The US government has been very stingy since the adoption of the Constitution in who we grant honorary citizenship to. Only seven individuals: Churchill, Raoul Wallenberg, William Penn, Penn’s wife Hanna,
Mother Teresa, La Fayette, and Casimir Pulaski.
The Maryland General Assembly made LaFayette a “natural born citizen” of that state by resolution.
Being Naturalized in 1843 means he was still a British Citizen when Chester was born (1829). That means....even if Chester was born on our soil (some say Canada) he still had dual citizenship by descent from his father. Thus, according to the Constitution he was not naturally born a citizen but acquired it when his father naturalized.
He kept this information private when he ran for vice president in 1880 with Garfield heading the ticket.
As I said, it was the operation of BRITISH law that made both of the Buchanans British citizens for life as well as American citizens, the father naturalized and the son a Citizen of the United States at Birth.
What part of “Nemo potest exuere patriam” meaning “No one can cast off his country” didn’t you understand?
The Constitutional requirements to be Vice President are identical to those needed to be President.
Herbert Hoover’s Vice President, Charles Curtis wasn’t born in a state of the Union (Kansas Territory a year before statehood) and he was an enrolled member of a sovereign Indian Nation (The Kaw Nation) making him also a dual citizen.
Where does it say the territories of the U.S. are not part of the soil of the U.S.
Are you saying that a "Natural Born Citizen" from Guam, Puerto Rico or the U.S. Virgin Islands cannot aspire to the presidency? That's a new one on me. You had better inform those Representatives in the House who represent those particular territories of this .....because I think they disagree with you.
Why do you go out of your way attempting to prop up this foolishness?
Charles Curtis was born on U.S. Soil.....and the "Kaw Nation" was not considered a foreign territory.
From 1781 to 1789 the Articles of Confederation were the law of the land and the Articles left the process of creating new citizens, including the naturalization of immigrants, up to the individual states. A person could literally be a citizen in one state and a non-citizen in another state.
The grandfather clause in the Constitution pertained to Presidents/Vice Presidents only.
James Buchanan inherited British citizenship from his father, who never lost or renounced British citizenship. Neither did President Buchanan.
The point is not dual citizenship of parents, it's American citizenship of parents. If Buchanan's parents were American citizens, then he was a natural born citizen.
You are trying to confuse mixed citizenship of parents (one a citizen and one not) with dual citizenship of parents. Even if the parents had dual citizenship, as long as both of them held American citizenship, then the child is natural born.
In this country, we do not have the concept of a blood feud. We do not hold the child responsible for the actions of the parent. If the child inherits dual citizenship because the parent holds dual citizenship through a parent's action, as long as each parent has American citizenship, then the child is natural born. The child is not held responsible for the action of the parent.
On the other hand, if the parent fails to attain American citizenship before having the child, the inaction of the parent descends to the child.

Citizens from the Virgin Islands, Guam and Puerto Rico can vote in primary elections but not in the general election and those territories have no electoral votes.
The Representatives from the territories in the House are “delegates.” They have no vote, except within their party caucuses.
You might remember the exchange between New York Democrat Congressman Jose Serrano and Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. Justice Thomas testifies about the Dupreme Court’s budget every year before a House sub-committee where Serrano is the ranking member. They have a standing joke that Serrano (born in Puerto Rico) asks Justice Thomas every year if he can run for president. In 2009, Thomas replied “We’re evading that issue, but you can definitely serve on the Supreme Court.” Some birthers took Thomas’ answer to mean that the Supreme Court is evading the Obama eligibility issue but Thomas was only speaking about a person born in Puerto Rico becoming president.
What I said was that President James Buchanan was one of three Presidents to have dual citizenship along with presidents Arthur and Obama. That’s all I said.
