Obama is not a natural born citizen which is defined in the 14th Amendment.

Good post, however I am constantly amazed by the number of people on FR that are unable to comprehend the plain meaning of the term "natural born citizen". It has always been known to mean (paraphrasing the quote of John A. Bingham, (R-Ohio) US Congressman, Architect of Section 1 of the 14th Amendment) a person born within the jurisdiction of the United States of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty.

Both parents must be citizens in order for their child to be a "natural born citizen." Why do people have such a hard time understanding that?

DING DING DING.. I've been telling folks this since day one.. even if he was born in HI, he does not remotely meed the definition of “natural born citizen”.

A natural born citizen must be the child of 2 US Citizens.. Fauxbama does not meet that criteria, period. Never did. Dumbing down of the population by educational malpractice for 40 years is the only reason anyone can argue this guy is legally eligible to be president.
