She was already a U.S. citizen - she has dual citizenship.

Maybe we should try to pass new laws forbidding dual citizenship.

The press is saying US born and American.

They are not calling him a citizen though, but by our current law he was.

So...I cautiously submit that 0bama ordered the killing of a US Citizen without Right to a trial. This could be the start of a dangerous precedent.

Essentially we didn't even give this guy the very thing the progressives demand for the combatants at Gitmo.

We often write here on FR...I may disagree with what you say, but I'll fight for your Right to say it.

Under our current law this citizen had certain Rights.
0bama again crossed borders into a country we're not engaged with to carry out the assination.
Recall all the lies told about the killing of Osama.

“He was born in Las Cruces, New Mexico”

When he came back to the US in ‘91, he should have stayed. He could have become president, at least according to a number of people here, Rush and Mark Levin.

Not sure that’s what the authors of the Constitution had in mind, but what do I know. The first “Yemeni-American” President. How historic. I’m sure he would have made a fine President.

About this time, he is pondeering an eternity in Hell with his 72 “virgins”? The 72 all look like Helen Thomas, sound like Roseanne Barr and have the sex appeal of Rosie O’Donnell.

We have way too many people in this country who hate Americans. We need a purge of those and send them back.
