...it’s the stick in the sand that says 0bama’s baby daddy was ‘african’ (which is not a term used in 1961, as it could be any race). it also shows 0bama’s baby daddy to be kenyan when 0bama was born.

According to the Hawaii dept of health, when they take down the information from the parents that will be used to fill out the B.C. they ask the parents their race and simply use whatever they say without altering it. Makes sense.

[...]obviously, you cannot be natural born while having dual citizenship status.

That's just not true. Of course you can. A friend of mine is a natural born citizen of both the U.S. and Canada.

you are just incorrect.

"The Constitution does not, in words, say who shall be natural-born citizens. Resort must be had elsewhere to 
ascertain that. At common-law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, 
it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, 
upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives, or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or
foreigners. Some authorities go further and include as citizens children born within the jurisdiction without
reference to the citizenship of their parents. As to this class there have been doubts, but never as to the first.
For the purposes of this case it is not necessary to solve these doubts. It is sufficient for everything we have now
to consider that all children born of citizen parents within the jurisdiction are themselves citizens."

” A friend of mine is a natural born citizen of both the U.S. and Canada. “

Impossible. But it sure is funny.
