Trump drops false 'birther' theory, but floats a new one: Clinton started it (NY Slimes alert!)
New York Slimes ^ | 09/16/2016 | Maggie Haberman and Alan Rappeport

Donald J. Trump publicly retreated from his “birther” campaign on Friday, tersely acknowledging that President Obama was born in the United States — and effectively conceding that the conspiracy theory he had promoted for years was baseless.

To Fox New’s shame, several employees and contributors carried on all day long with a deceptive charade that Obama is a legitimate president. This based on his birth certificate released into the public domain in April 2011. The problem is no such physical document exists. What we have is a digitize image which any computer literate child can see has been worked over with image retouching software. Not only is it fake; but it is an intelligence insultingly bad fake. Indeed it is worse than Dan Rather’s memo. The faux image is all over the internet; did you show it? Did you talk to expert document examiners? Isn’t that part of the story too? Nauseating.

Even WMAL 6:30 AM in DC is putting out this lie. We need to squash these liberal rats like the Pied Piper with a Steamroller.

= = = = = = = = = = = =
That is just the news department isn’t it?

The AM show has mentioned and Chris Plante has been playing the tapes of it originating in HRC camp....

You have to figure the ‘Right side of WMAL’ must be large because MSNBC (or one of those half arse stations) has been buying air time during the Plante and Limbaugh shows.....

Hillary knew a long time ago.....she and Bill had pics of Obama in Muslim dress as far back
as the 2007 primary. But Uncle Teddy went balistic, warned the Clintons not to use them.

Teddy Caroline and Patrick later endorsed the befuddled Obama.

If cert offered was altered, as many concluded, most likely it was to scrub real daddy Frank Marshall Davis off. This debate about Obama is a total distraction at this point and doesn’t help Trump. That’s why the media and HRC want to talk about it. Best counter is to pin the origin on HRC where it belongs, but that wont resonate either.

How does this apply to a child born to two US citizens in a host country hospital while stationed overseas? Honest question as i don’t know.

Citizen, but not eligible to be President, unless said base is on US territory, i.e. Guam.

If his father is who he claims, a Kenyan national and at the time, a British subject, then Obama is not a natural born citizen, regardless of where he was born.

__________________________________________________________

Don’t take this the wrong way, but my father was a Canadian citizen on a green card and got drafted in the early 60’s. He was serving in the navy when I was born. When his enlistment was up the navy told him he must become a citizen to re-enlist. He told them, no thanks.
I was born in the US to an American mother. Am I a “natural born citizen?”

I hate 0bama, but who cares where he was born? He’ll mercifully be gone in a few months and we’ll have the greatest President since Lincoln in the White House.

I was born to two US ‘natural born’ citizens. However, my birth took place on German soil, and I am NOT a ‘natural born’ US citizen. Congress nor the courts were granted the power or authority to bequeathed ‘natural born’ US citizenship, only two US citizen parents giving birth on US soil can bequeath ‘natural born’ US citizenship. Part of where ‘we the people are government’, the founding fathers established, the state is not God.

On the surface, I would agree with you, and further agree that most Americans would see it your way. However...

What about the US Constitution?

Here's the quote:

No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.

So I guess the eligibility requirements listed above are you need to be at least 35 years old, been residing in the USA for the past 14 years, and a “natural born citizen”. (Since "at the time of the adoption of this Constitution was 1787, I don't think anyone needs to worry about that requirement)

The whole then comes down to what IS a natural born citizen.

That has never been adjudicated anywhere, as far as I know.

And that's why there is controversy over Obama’s birth—his father not being a citizen; Ted Cruz being born in Canada to a Cuban father as well.

I hope he knows the truth and will tell us at some point.

Perhaps 0vomit really was born in the USA, but there is something else that he is covering up on his BC. His real father? His real mother ???? The date? Maybe not in Hawaii, but in Washington state?

Who knows?

Trump knows how to play the game. And it doesn’t involve showing all your cards at one time. He may have a few more up his sleeve. Hopefully enough to put some people in jail for massive fraud. And that is why they are so scared.

0vomit is so scared that he is keeping a very low profile. Hitlery is so scared that she is attacking with every lie she can think of and in her desperation, most of them are doing her more harm than her target.
