[null and void]

David? Gatún? A little help here?

I’m quite willing for Bubba Ho-Tep’s citation to be relevant, but that would negate any need to prove place of birth, if a parent is an American citizen.

That doesn’t fit with any of the existing brouhaha...

[Bubba Ho-Tep]

The rules have changed. At the time Obama was born, the rule was the mother had to have spent 5 years in the US after the age of 16. His mother was only 18. So if someone's got a birth certificate from Kenya (and didn't we hear a couple of weeks ago that three different people had copies in safe places?) they need to be producing it.

The Indonesia stuff only works if we believe that Obama himself stood up in front of a consular official before the age of ten and convinced him that he knew what he was doing when he renounced his citizenship. Any adoption or anything his mother did wouldn't have meant anything.
