Well, we have differing views on the basis for finding Obama to be a natural born citizen. My impression is that the most weight was given to his birthplace, because if he had not been born in the US, the statutory citizenship law would NOT have conferred citizenship to Obama.

Hawaii became a state on August 21, 1959. The birth certificate that Obama's handlers provided to the press for public consumption says that Obama was born on August 4, 1961.

It’s my understanding that if 1 parent is a citizen (as Ted’s was at the time of birth), then he is a US Citizen. He held a dual Canadian (place of birth) and US citizenship until a few months ago when he gave up his Canadian citizenship.

Debate re his citizenship on numerous places on FR. Here are 2 examples:

Thanks for clarifying the date and when Hawaii entered as a state. I’ve wondered about that but never thought to look it up.

As to 0bama, I don’t know if he was born in Hawaii or not and there’s evidence both ways. I do not believe he is or should have been eligible to be president. One, I have read the arguments after the fact but if one reads earlier explanations and associations concerning what’s a citizen, it is less clear. For example, children always fell under the citizenship of the father, not the mother.

And here it is....

Seems that the regime has a time machine in the White Hut basement (right next to the Rovian weather machine) and under the mosque.

See it coming out of a slot in the time machine....
