“Lakin has said he refused to deploy to Afghanistan until he sees proof that President Obama was born in the U.S.”
Is that really Lakin’s issue? Because that is irrelevant. What’s more relevant is the citizen status of his parents and then becoming an Indonesian citizen.
With the current “documentation” a judge can “prove” Hawaiian birth in a trice.
Seems like a straw man setup.
Yes, according to a wealth of public statements by Lakin and his civilian defense counsel, that is precisely Lakin's "issue". He's not convinced Obama was born in HI, and until he sees "proof", he refuses to deploy.
No, that's just the way MSNBCCNCBSABC is reporting it. He's aware off all the issues. I would not say a possible foreign birth is irrelevant though, it certainly would prohibit "Natural Born" status, given that both his parents were not citizens.
However, IMHO, his Indonesian citizenship doesn't matter.. unless he did something as an adult to claim it. Like applying for college aid only available to foreign students. :)
