If he was born in Hawaii, he’s a natural-born citizen regardless of his parentage.

If he was born outside the US, he might still qualify as a “natural-born citizen,” since his mother was certainly a citizen, but the issue gets a good deal more complicated and debatable.

The Constitution doesn’t really define who qualifies as a natural-born citizen.

Those pursuing this issue with enthusiasm might want to give a little thought to the probable result of successfully proving the Obama isn’t qualified. The aftermath of MLK’s assassination might be a good place to start.

Doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be pursued, but it shouldn’t be thought of as a cost-free approach to dealing with a political enemy.

Let me see, we may have a person not qualified to be president but we should not do anything because some individuals may decide to riot...hum, I say bring it on. There is no legal system in the world that is worth its salt if it bows to the point of a bayonet. Yeah, the worse outcome would be that the dimwit from Delaware gets elected but he is qualified and legally could be elected president. Sorry if that would bother the Zero but was it not he who disqualified his opposition when he ran for state office? This would be the ultimate poetic justice and BTW, he has resigned from the Senate, right?

“If he was born in Hawaii, he’s a natural-born citizen regardless of his parentage.”

If that is the case, then you are saying that an anchor baby could grow up to be President. I don’t think so. I believe anchor babies are citizens because they are born on US soil, but I do not believe they qualify as “natural born” due to parent citizenship. It is my understanding that parentage does count, and to be a “natural born” citizen one must have parents who are citizens. Obama’s father was not a US citizen and a British subject at the time of Obama’s birth.
