Beckwith,

For clarification, are you essentially saying that a law governing the status of one’s citizenship (by blood) equates to that person owing a natural allegiance?

Mr Rogers,

Are you essentially saying that the such a law does not equate to a natural allegiance?

Thanks,
Tex

[Mr Rogers]

I’m saying the British law does not impose any natural allegiance on Obama’s part, nor has he ever shown any allegiance in any way to the UK.

Legally, I believe the consensus prior to Obama’s running was that ‘natural born’ meant born in America, versus a naturalized citizen. That may or may not have been the original intent, but the original intent doesn’t seem clear enough for a court to rule Obama ineligible.
