As I’ve said before, if Putin made all US citizens automatic citizens of Russia, would that mean we all have allegiance to Russia?

If we stepped foot in Russia, they would have dominion over us as Russian nationals. So says international law and the information I referenced in the U.S. Foreign Affairs manual.

Would such a Russian law prevent natural born citizens of America from being POTUS? Definitely not those who were born here to two American citizens. They're natural born citizens of the U.S. because OUR laws say so.

The issue is not just that another country's laws can extend citizenship to an American. The issue is that an American citizen born to a foreign citizen obtains citizenship by blood AND foreign statute. The blood relationship is essential in determining whether or not such a person is a natural born citizen of the U.S.

The courts have focused on NBC from the perspective of allegiance. The idea that Barry feels any loyalty of any kind for the UK is laughable.

Yes, he could move to England and declare himself a subject of the Queen - but he hasn’t, has he.

And we fought a war over the idea that another country cannot force an American to be a citizen of their country against his will.

No court will ever rule that Barry is a British subject. Nor will any ever rule that he has divided loyalties to the US because his father was British, and then Kenyan. It is as silly as saying that my sister has divided loyalties to Germany because she was born there.

Barack Obama needs to be beaten on ideas, and in politics. If you have evidence he was born abroad, THEN you could beat him in the courts and Congress too.

Otherwise, you’re pissing in the wind. When Barry visited England, no one in England thought he was now a British subject since he set foot on English soil. Had anyone tried, we would have gone to war, as we did in 1812, to reject that idea.

And if we fought a war to reject the idea in 1812, do you think we have revoked our position since? No! Any government can claim anyone they want as a citizen, but if they are a US citizen, it doesn’t make it so.

And I can’t think of anyone on the planet who is LESS a British subject that Barry Obama. He hates the UK with passion. Sorry, but that argument ain’t going anywhere.
