“They knew his father was a British citizen. They also knew Obama was a British citizen. “

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...

Someone else declaring you are a citizen of their country always makes it so because they dictate how their own laws are written. It took a war and an eventual treaty to finally get Great Britain to reverse course.

There is nothing to stop any other nation from doing what Great Britain did in 1776. And we would be forced to take action against that nation. The founding fathers knew this was the case as Great Britain never recognized the Declaration of Independence.

Are you suggesting our arrogance as a nation automatically "makes it so" with regards to the citizenship laws of other nations? If this is the case, would you mind citing other nationality laws where the "supreme prowess of the United States" causes these nations to run in fear that their immigration laws are null an void under the shadow of the "Great Western Empire"?
