The actual issue is very simple: where was he born?

You are wrong, and it does nothing to settle the issue, where he is born does not establish Natural Born Citizenship status, period.

Then why won't he admit he was born in Kenya? Yes, there are other considerations, such as the mother's age, and the amount of time spent in the US by each of the parents, and whether the area of birth was a US territory and the parents were there under official duty, etc. But in this particular case, exactly, precisely where he was born is the starting point of all the other considerations, and enough is now known about the other variables that have to be considered that determining where, exactly, precisely he was born would settle the issue of his Consitutional legitimacy for the presidency.

Period.

Talisker has a good point, the threshold issue is where was he born. If Kenya, he is instantly unqualified because his mother was not of sufficient age to confer any citizenship. Game over.

If your point is...”where he is born does not establish Natural Born Citizenship status, period.”, I agree.

Unfortunately for many of us, there are a number of Republican members of Congress who are accomplished attorneys and they looked the other way regarding O’s father. There may be a real question whether a USSC would stand up and say all those sophisticated folks are incorrect, O needed a citizen father to be natural born.

Moreover, I suspect the prevailing attitude of our elected representatives would be to allow O to renounce any other “outdated” citizenship he may be hauling around, “in order to get on with business”.

A natural born citizen must be born in the mainland USA.

Where someone is born does apply.
