Barack Obama is not legally a US natural-born citizen according to the law on the books at the time of his birth; a law that was in effect between December 24, 1952 and November 13, 1986, when the law was changed.
However, the new law did not preempt the former law in the cases of those born between the above listed dates when the old law was in effect.
Therefore, Senator Obama may very well be disqualified....
Barack Obama’s father was not a US citizen, and Obama’s mother was only 18 when he was born, which means although she had been a US citizen for 10 years, his mother fails the test for being so for at least 5 years prior to Barack Obama’s birth.
In order for her child to have been a natural-born US citizen, his mother would have had to be 21 at the time of his birth....

You talk as though this matters.
*BUMP* !
I'd like to see the law.

If the Domestic Enemy Press (aka MSM) starts giving this
issue any coverage at all, you will know the DNC knives
are officially unsheathed for BHO2.

Agreed. Even it is true, nothing will be done about it. Laws are meant solely to keep conservative taxpayers in line. Everyone else gets to do what they want and if you try to stop them then you’re a ______-ist!!
Where is that “OH NO! NOT THIS $HiTE AGAIN” Graphic?
This is a more credible issue than the controversy about the certificate of birth.
It’s hard to imagine why Hillary wouldn’t push this issue. I suppose the question is whether she still has the political moxie to do it.
ditto. He is The Messiah after all.
It’s not like anybody would have challenged the lineage of Jesus Christ if He were running for President (and he were actually black)......
Hillary is so thrilled, that she is wetting her panties.
He's a smoker. He's a joker. He's a midnight toker. Had to be to come to these conclusions.
His mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, was born in the continental United States and was a citizen thereof.
Obama’s mother was only 18 when he was born, which means although she had been a US citizen for 10 years, his mother fails the test for being so for at least 5 years prior to Barack Obama’s birth.
No, she had been a citizen her entire life, all 18 years of it. What am I missing here?
Ahem, she is wetting her boxers or her whitey tighties.
Well, it might matter a lot. If the article is correct, and I have not researched that, then some resolution to the issue must be made and soon.
Seems to me there are two key issues (presuming the article is accurate with regard to the substance of the legislation addressed): 1) does the statute trump the currently-accepted but increasingly challenged view of born in the USA and “subject to the jurisdiction” thereof (unlikely, i.e., in my dreams); and 2) if so, whether the legislation has retroactive effect. The author say “no.” I think this issue is more important than a dispute about “raised “ seals on Hussein’s birth certificate.
I could see HRC using this with extreme relish.
One thing is clear, as I sometimes tell my USA-naturalized Cuban-born friend when he becomes uppity, he can’t be president and I can. Understandably, he gets po’ed when I say that.
This might have been originated by the Clintons. If true, that might be what the beast needs to pursue at the convention.
