The same as the story mentioned, of course...

You are rehashing items that were discussed and proved months ago.

The only thing that still hasn’t been proved is that Barack Obama was born in Hawaii with an official legal document.

Yes. That would be the Immigration and Naturalization Act of 1952, also known as the McCarran-Walter Act. Title III, Act 1, Chapter 301 would be the relevant section relating to the naturalization status of a person born outside the U.S. to a U.S. parent and a foreign national. It reads: "a person born outside the geographical limits of the United States and its outlying possessions of parents one of whom is an alien, and the other a citizen of the United States who, prior to the birth of such person, was physically present in the United States or its outlying possessions for a period or periods totaling not less than five years, at least two of which were after attaining the age of fourteen years..." is a natural born U.S. citizen Even if Obama was born overseas then he's still a natural born citizen according to this act.

INA

Link to the Act itself is at the bottom.

So if the act passed in 1952 did not say what the article claims was the law in effect when Obama was born, then when was the law changed to the requirements the article claims?
