I’m a natural-born citizen of the U.S., and an Irish citizen because my grandfather was born in Ireland, and the necessary papers to that effect were obtained.

[Gay State Conservative]

I'm in exactly the same position.Born here,raised here,served honorably in the Armed Forces,always pay my taxes but,due to my grandmother having been born in Ireland I'm an Irish citizen and have an Irish passport.

However,when running for the Presidency I think that any voluntary application you make for citizenship of another country should disqualify you from the office.And if you obtain citizenship of another country through no act of your own...as was true of my Dad and his siblings...I think you must officially and formally renounce that citizenship in order to qualify.

[2009 Shallow Hal]

I would like to add that no one has considered the changed definitions of who constitutes a citizen when born of mixed citizenship - IE his father was NOT a citizen.

The 1952 INA clearly states that those born to mixed citizenship one parent MUST BE a U.S. citizen for at least 5 years AFTER the age of 16 (meaning Mommie had to be 21 when she had baby) for the child to be a U.S. citizen.

The Act was ameneded in 1986 but most people interpret that change as reflective of those born AFTER 1986.

Accordingly - Obama cannot be President based on the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952.

[Non-Sequitur]

The 1952 INA clearly states that those born to mixed citizenship one parent MUST BE a U.S. citizen for at least 5 years AFTER the age of 16 (meaning Mommie had to be 21 when she had baby) for the child to be a U.S. citizen.

But it does not...say...that. Here is a Link to an INS website on the Immigration and Nationality act of 1952. Clink on the link at the bottom and that takes you to the act itself. Look at Title III, Chapter 1, Section 301, Paragraph G and it says that "a person born outside the geographical limits of the United States and its outlying possessions of parents one of whom is an alien, and the other a citizen of the United States who, prior to the birth of such person, was physically present in the United States or its outlying possessions for a period or periods totaling not less than five years, at least two of which were after attaining the age of fourteen years.." is a natural born U.S. citizen. This is the 1952 act as passed. If it was changed to 5 years after the age of 16 then when was this change passed into law?

Note the retraction on the website:

Editor’s note: One of the items on this list has been removed because it mistakenly repeated a report that Barack Obama holds dual United States-Kenyan citizenship. This erroneous information was never reported in the Rocky Mountain News print edition.
