Her U.S. citizenship was a given, and yet the State Department is requesting an inquiry into her son’s citizenship. Think about it — if you can???

LOL. Only a birther would think that a state department inquiry confirming that Obama was born in Hawaii would somehow be an argument that he wasn't.

Look, sparky, this isn't that complicated.

In 1967, Stanley Ann had a US passport (she applied for it and received in in 1965). Hence the State Department had file on her showing she was a citizen. Her son probably did not have a passport his own passport at the time, so the State Department did not have his citizenship information. Hence the need for an inquiry, which, BTW, confirmed he was a US citizen by virtue of his birth in Hawaii.

Now how does this shoot down anything I wrote?

You birthers aren't very good at original thought, I see.

To a person with an IQ above room temperature, this isn't hard. Under the laws in effect at the time, there are instances in which a child of a US citizen might not inherit citizenship at birth. Hence the mere fact that he is her son didn't automatically make him a citizen. Hence the state department had to verify it.

Duh.
