... how about Obama was a British citizen at birth (and I’ve never heard what you are claiming).

Dual citizenship does not mean he wasn't a natural born citizen, if he was born in the U.S. And if you've never heard what I'm claiming, read the Supreme Court case-- I posted a link.

Obama’s mother was to young to pass along American citizenship. His father was a British citizen. Obama is not a natural born American citizen (until he proves it and I don’t believe that he can).

“Dual citizenship does not mean he wasn’t a natural born citizen”

I’d like to hear more about the reasoning behind this as well. Where does it say that a dual-citizen, or a non-citizen, or simply being born here like an anchor baby, is considered a natural born citizen, qualified for the office of the president? It’s contradictory to the obvious loyalty requirements. One could strongly argue that any ruling that even grants anchor babies citizenship at all is wholly un-Constitutional, but to then say this might also grant them natural born citizen status and be qualified to be the president of the entire country, is absurd on the face of it.
