A Texas man and skeptic of Barack Obama’s eligibility to serve as president has posted a video on YouTube revealing two investigators, reportedly from the Secret Service, questioning him at his home.
Rudy Davis, known also as “LoneStar1776″ on YouTube.com, posted video of the inquiry the day after he had uploaded another video in which he suggested Obama, after being convicted of treason for usurping the highest office the land, be executed for his crime.
When two men in dark suits showed up at his door the next day, Davis told them, “I think I know why you guys are here.”
Video of the exchange shows Davis explaining his belief that Obama is ineligible to be president and clarifying that he only wished the judicial system to execute Obama “once he has been convicted in a court of law.”
“OK,” the first investigator replied, “but you don’t mean to assassinate him?”
“No, sir,” Davis replied. “I don’t want to hurt anybody. I just want truth and justice in America.”

It's a correct statement of law if his birth was not on US soil, and the mother is married to a person who was not a US citizen. In that circumstance, the age and duration of US residency of the mother are the determining factors in whether the child is a US citizen.
See Acquisition of U.S. Citizenship by a Child Born Abroad
Birth Abroad to One Citizen and One Alien Parent in WedlockA child born abroad to one U.S. citizen parent and one alien parent acquires U.S. citizenship at birth under Section 301(g) of the INA provided the U.S. citizen parent was physically present in the United States or one of its outlying possessions for the time period required by the law applicable at the time of the child's birth. (For birth on or after November 14, 1986, a period of five years physical presence, two after the age of fourteen, is required. For birth between December 24, 1952 and November 13, 1986, a period of ten years, five after the age of fourteen, is required for physical presence in the United States or one of its outlying possessions to transmit U.S. citizenship to the child.) The U.S. citizen parent must be genetically related to the child to transmit U.S. citizenship.
Oh, another point. If I understand the argument of the "anti-birthers," the geographic location of birth doesn't control the outcome either. The logic, as I understand it, is a person is either born a citizen, or not. If born a citizen, then the person is a natural born citizen.
The geographic location of birth matters in Obama's case, because Stanley Ann Dunham could not possibly have spent five years after the age of fourteen, resident in the US. She wasn't nineteen years old when she gave birth to Obama. But in a different hypothetical case, say, make Stanley Ann Dunham twenty years old and five years in the US before giving birth to Obama in Kenya, he would be a citizen, and according to the "only two categories" proponents, he would necessarily be a natural born citizen because he was born a citizen.
I wonder how the fact that it was a bigamous marriage might affect things? Although it seems that Stanley Anne did not know that BHO Sr. was already married when she married him.
That same link says if the birth is out of wedlock ...
A person born abroad out-of-wedlock to a U.S. citizen mother may acquire U.S. citizenship under Section 309(c) of the INA if the mother was a U.S. citizen at the time of the person's birth and if the mother was physically present in the United States or one of its outlying possessions for a continuous period of one year prior to the person's birth. The mother must be genetically related to the person in order to transmit U.S. citizenship.
Some anti-birthers will argue that the fact he is a citizen at birth makes him a natural born citizen; others make a distinction that citizenship is conferred by statute, rather than by a judicial decision (Wong Kim Ark); giving the courts the power to define Natural Born Citizen however they decide, but not allowing Congress the same power.
Solitary in prison. Why allow him the pleasure of a cell mate?
I do pity the whole group. Working for Reagan, Bush I and Bush II must have been a great honor, but Clinton and Obozo? People who don't respect the sacrifice or job of the Secret Service?
It has to be tough protecting the leftist boobs.
