Which only means that they never went into an Italian consulate and renounced their citizenship.
Here's another site that explains the documentation required:Italian Dual Citizenship
“uninterruptedly maintained”
In the US English language that is the adjective “born”.
A standard definition of “born” means having that charactistic “FROM BIRTH” - not “AT birth”.
The Italians may not drive cruise liners very well but the know what it takes to be a citizen.
But so did the founders.
a natural born Citizen could also be classified as a ‘natural Citizen’ and a ‘born Citizen’. Had the ‘term’ been something unique in the Consitution it would have been all capitalized - “Natural Born Citizen”. But it was not. So we merely need to look at the adjectives.
And ‘born’ means ‘from birth’.
When Obama left for Indonesia he was considered Indonesian - by the US. To leave Indonesia he had to be claimed by his father in 1971. So then he become Kenyan. But dear old dad was not taking him back to Kenya - so he is dumped on Grandma and Gramps. Who then dump him on Frank Marshall Davis for ‘mentoring’.
When he reaches majority he can reclaim his US citizenship - he did retain that right to reclaim it. But legally - he lost it during the Indonesia years. His namesake father was likely used to eliminate the Indonesia ties but that made him a Kenyan in 1971 or early 1972.
So he is not a ‘born Citizen’ since he failed to retain the citizenship ‘FROM birth’. And thus he is not a ‘natural born Citizen’.
Indonesia and 1971....the wormhole of Obama’s citizenship.
