To claim the child under US Laws, you not only need to provide parental citizenship, but also parental residency compliance. If Obama's Mother did not maintain her residency then there are other hoops for them to jump through that allows him to be a Naturalized Citizen, and unqualified for the Presidency.
No document that BHO could produce would prove to me that he his NOT anti-American.
hrm...
Shouldn’t someone report abuse for your troll post?
Ahh, interesting.
Thanks for posting that.
This is like separating the chaffe from the wheat.
I am certain that the founders wanted to ensure that the president of the United States did not have mixed loyalties and hence the requirement of being a Natural Born Citizen would imply that the person must be born under the sovereign jurisdiction of the United States of America. I am not certain that simply because Obama's mother was a United States Citizen, that makes any child she bears while domiciled outside the United States a "Natural Born Citizen".
The fact that he has not provided a copy of his actual birth certificate suggests to me that he was not born in the United States. Even if that were irrelevant to his constitutional qualifications, it would certainly be relevant to the electorate in deciding whether or not to elect him.
Obama needs to come clean on this one.
No, by law, that is not correct. It may seem like a technicality, I know, since his mother was a US citizen, and under today's law, he would be a natural-born citizen. But the law in 1961 was different, and was not without reason. Think of it - his father was a citizen of Kenya and his mother was (by law at the time) a minor. If she gave birth to him in his father's homeland, he is not a natural born US Citizen, and is not qualified to serve as President.
If all those things are true, this will be a very strange and tumultuous election year. Had the forged birth certificate only been posted on Kos, Obama could still ignore all of this, but it was posted on his own site, as well, so it is a real scandal.
Look, DG, I think a lot of the commentary on some of these threads can get a little over-wrought at times, too, but in reality, this issue is very much under the radar in the MSM. From my perspective, it has not been overwhelming the election threads on FR, either.
This new admission, I believe, forces the Obama campaign to respond in some way. If their only response is simply to remove the fake BC, the issue grows. If they respond with a legitimate birth certificate, it's over.
Obama's move.
Hey, whoa. Dog Gone’s an oldtimer, who supplies us with Oil/Gas inside stuff.
Very interesting turn of events. One would think that possibly the vaunted news outlets...the New York Times, Washington Post, LA Times and the TV nets...would be interested in ferreting out the truth concerning Barry Hussein’s questionable birth certificate. ****(Crickets chirping)
LOL!
I hope everyone doesn't get bogged down about his place of birth. I think it quite probable he was born in Hawaii - I think it is OTHER information on his real BC that he doesn't want to see the light of day...
see my post #240
Also, there's the matter of his parents races.
His mother is listed as "Caucasian" but his father's as "African."
"African" is not a race...Teresa Heinz Kerry is "African", having been born there - as are millions of others of all colors and races.
Let's not let this get away from us by chasing the wrong question
oops forgot to ping you. Post 246.
Thanks Pot, but that’s the one I already have. It is the high-rez, but it’s the post-seal version. I think KOS took down the original long ago so I’ll need to find someone who saved it.

What? The BC has, to say the least, been proven to have been tampered with. I posted a statement regarding the document taken straight from the Obama website, where it is maintained to be genuine. For the record. I doubt if it will be there for much longer.
Check SE Mom’s link in post #10. The one you’re looking for may be linked in there.
OK, sorry.
Sp/...Fathom not phantom
Great find on that court decision. Can it really be used against Obama?
