Bullshit! They had no reason to believe Obama didnt meet the Constitutional requirement of NBC. Nor is there any evidence of it now. No evidence hes foreign born, and none that the Founders wanted a requirement for the President to be born of citizen parents - 4 words they COULD have written, but did not.
It is the responsibility of all electors to understand the laws. States require electors to swear an oath to the Constitution of their state and to the United States Constitution. There are no excuses to the ignorance of the law. There was ample question as to the background of McCain, and his parents were citizens. Yet mysteriously, it is perfectly acceptable to be a dual citizen and never once be asked for some evidence of qualifications or allegiance to the United States.
They knew his father was a British citizen. They also knew Obama was a British citizen. Are you saying that people who are born as dual citizens are not foreigners? How can someone owe allegiance to a foreign nation and yet not be a foreigner? Why wouldn't an elector at least request additional evidence, or at least clarification that Obama, at a minimum, renounced his British birthright citizenship?
The answer is clear. They were complicit. They didn't want to know because they did not care. "Playing dumb" does not negate judgment.

More BS. You care to show Obama’s UK passport? Or ANY sign Obama gives a rat’s rear about the UK?
My sister was born in the 50s in Germany, in a hospital on a US base. Per McCain, she is eligible to run for President - although we do NOT want her...
But she could also have claimed dual citizenship.
Someone else declaring you are a citizen of their country doesn’t make it so. Review the War of 1812...
