From Barack Obama's own website, Fight the Smears, a statement as to his citizenship status embodied in the masthead and email to forward:

The fact is Barack Obama was born in the state of Hawaii in 1961, a

NATIVE CITIZEN

of the United States of America.

Definition of "native-born" or native citizen" (from Wikipedia)

Section 1 of Article Two of the United States Constitution sets forth the eligibility requirements for serving as President of the United States:“ No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States. ”

The grandfather provision of the "natural born Citizen" clause provides an exception to the "natural born" requirement for those persons who were citizens at the time of the adoption of the Constitution. Most of these citizens had been born as British subjects before the American Revolution (or were born after the Revolution, but before 1787). Without this exception, ten subsequent presidents would have been constitutionally ineligible to serve.[1]

Additionally, the Twelfth Amendment states that: "[N]o person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States."

The Fourteenth Amendment, adopted in 1868, defines a "Citizen" of the United States, but not a "natural born Citizen." Its Citizenship Clause provides that "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are Citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."

There is no known record of Soetoro being born in Hawaii.The newspaper notice is, at best, an allusion to something that may have happened. It is not a record.

This is not NEWS. Good luck on trying to do anything with this approach.

It is better if we all focus on how to take back what the commies current own

[Puppage]

Wikipedia is worthless to quote or get facts from.

I am just say'n

Why is everyone besides Obama releasing birth certificates? Why does the state seal say 1959 and the piece of paper is dated 1961? Why would I even care?

[Non-Sequitur]

Ladies and gentlemen, presenting the 5,000th vanity post on Obama’s citizenship status. Let’s give him a big round of applause.

[Tublecane]

Ignoring for the moment that nothing you posted demonstrates anything one way or another, I’m at a complete loss as to what possible relevance this paragraph has:

“Additionally, the Twelfth Amendment states that: ‘[N]o person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.’”

Why was this posted? Just in case Obama tries to run for VP at some point in the future?

Hey you,,,Good to see ya’...;0)

[Non-Sequitur]

Why does the state seal say 1959 and the piece of paper is dated 1961?

1959 - year Hawaii became a state.
1961 - year Obama was born.

Useless vanity post, and terribly unoriginal at that.

[Mr. Wright]

Does his Official website post a copy of his original birth certificate? Does the website mention why he spent almost 1 million dollars fighting the issue in the courts?

[Red Steel]

Good to see you back. You get the After-Birther trolls panties in a wad.

[TPOOH]

Wish they would have kept him

[FlingWingFlyer]

We might want to get Eric Holder, Nasty Pelosi and Harry Reid on this right away.
