Donofrio’s contention is that Obama was born in Hawaii, but not a natural-born citizen and thus not eligible to become POTUS. Stop with the doubt about the place of Obama’s birth. We accept that Obama was born in Hawaii. Now how do you answer the question that Obama was a natural-born citizen if his father was a British subject at the time?
We accept that Obama was born in Hawaii
***Who’s “we”?
If, as you say, Obama was born in Hawaii, which was then a State, his parentage doesn’t matter. He’s a US Citizen. The only exceptions are for those not subject to the jurisdiction of the US, for example, born to foreign embassy personnel, born on a foreign warship.

This also explains why so many pregnant women from Mexico are desperate to deliver their children in the US.

That’s my reading on why this one was accepted by the court (and the others rejected.) It goes back to the original meaning of “natural born citizen” as the founders understood it. Born on US soil AND BOTH PARENTS WERE US CITIZENS AT THE TIME OF BIRTH.
Not that it matters what we argue, the court understands the issue. It does get tiring to hear people argue about his birthplace when that isn’t the issue at hand.
I, for one, doubt he was born in Hawaii. Unless the Kenyan Grandmother is a LIAR......which I guess you thonk she is, becuae she said he was born in Kenya and she was there.
