Zullo Provides New Insights on Obama Birth Certificate Mystery, Part 1
The Post & Email ^ | 12/2/2017 | Sharon Rondeau

FORMER LEAD INVESTIGATOR REVEALS INFORMATION THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA WON’T TOUCH- On his Friday night show, “Freedom Friday” host Carl Gallups opened by referencing an article at The New York Daily News citing an alleged “report” from an unnamed U.S. Senator of a conversation during which President Donald Trump was said to have “revived” the “birther” issue, which questioned Barack Hussein Obama’s background and birthplace.

Article II, Section 1, clause 5 of the U.S. Constitution requires that the president be a “natural born Citizen,” which most Americans believe means, at a minimum, “born in the United States.” Many others contend that the term signifies a more restricted class of citizens whose parents were U.S. citizens at the time of the candidate’s birth, thereby alleviating any question as to his national allegiance.

In 1958, the World Book Encyclopedia stated that a presidential candidate must have been born in the United States. The entry further reads, citing the other provisions of Article II, “A person born of American parents in another Country, such as Canada or France, would not be eligible for election. The candidate must be at least 35 years old, and must have lived in the United States for at least 14 years.”

Since 2007, doubts circulated about Obama’s constitutional eligibility to serve given that credible reports had said he was born outside of the United States, in Kenya or Indonesia. Once questioned as the presidential election cycle unfolded, some authors changed their work to say that Obama was “born in Hawaii.”

A second question regarding Obama’s eligibility centered on his claimed father, a Kenyan and later British citizen, who came to the U.S. on a student visa but never applied for U.S. citizenship.

Yet another concern was Obama’s reported residence in Indonesia between the ages of 6 and 10,

I don't think The World Book Encyclopedia is an authoritative source for constitutional law.

"Born in the United States"? Has that ever been considered a requirement provided both parents were US citizens? What if they were vacationing in Canada when the child was born, or serving as diplomats?

I think the only President before Soetoro whose eligibility was seriously questioned was Chester Alan Arthur--reportedly born in Vermont but some claimed he had been born a few miles to the north in Quebec, and his father was not a US citizen at the time of his birth. But it was generally accepted that he had been born in Vermont (before it became a People's Republic).

I was born in 1950 and I went to excellent schools. I was always taught NBC = born here.

When George Romney was running in 1968, it was an issue that he was born in Mexico. It was a little issue in 1964 that Goldwater was born in the Arizona Territory.

I had excellent classes in US government and the US constitution (thanks, Mr. Benovsky!). I never never ran across the “two US citizen parents” argument until it came up with Obama.

It makes sense, but it was not common understanding when I was growing up.

The law notwithstanding, the phony document Obama disseminated was fake as a three-dollar bill. Anyone with working knowledge of Adobe figured it out in one minute.

Hi. Thanks. But, Actually, citizenship by blood of parents goes back many centuries in law. Your great professor didn’t finish giving you his citizenship lecture before the bell rang —� indeed mcshame’s claim to eligibility, also romney’s, and a couple more were based on blood not situs of birth

The hapless Gop-e does think the Democrats are their “friends,” and in private they truly must be.

Yes, I think I read that Republicans particularly like the company of Geraldo at parties.

"Good family man, however."

If great family includes a tranny playing the role of "Mom" (videos of a floppy trouser sausage on the Ellen DeGeneres Show), Dad half in the closet, and two kids appearing with no pix of Mom being pregnant.

I remember when liberals cited the mass amount of individuals who would have to be complicit in a cover up of this magnitude being impossible.....look at what’s gone on (and continues to this day) with Hillary, Huma, Comey, Weiner, Wasserman-Schultz, Donna Brazile, Bernie Sanders, Imran Awan and cohorts ......
