WHERE he was born is not the issue. Just being born in HA doesn't make him eligible. If it did then every anchor baby born would be eligible. Beyond the birthplace is the question of his parents and their status and their ability to pass citizenship to make him eligible.
The man he claims is his father was a British subject, thus making Barry ineligible.
His mother was a minor who was not back in the country long enough prior to his birth to meet the criteria either. Birthplace is only a very small part of the big picture and I fear that Obummer will produce something that says he was born in HA and the people who are starting to question his eligibility will accept it and move on.
IMO the question of his eligibility should be if he meets the Constitution's requirements, NOT where he was born.

You are right. The whole issue is being over-simplified by Trump and others. They are setting themselves up for a fall by focusing on the actual place of The Kenyan King’s birth. It is the totality of eligibility that matters and it should be looked at as a whole.

The issue isn’t eligibility but criminal fraud. Where he was born is relevant to that. No one is going to act on the son-of-a-British-subject aspect of this issue.
