Someone mentioned other President with a foreign-born parent, so I did a look-up of it...


Only six other U.S. presidents had a foreign-born parent. Mr. Obama will be the first in nearly ninety years, since President Herbert Hoover was inaugurated in 1929.

Andrew Jackson (1829-1837) is the only president born of two immigrants, both Irish. Presidents with one immigrant parent are Thomas Jefferson (1801-1809), whose mother was born in England, James Buchanan (1857-1861) and Chester Arthur (1881-1885), both of whom had Irish fathers, and Woodrow Wilson (1913-1921) and Herbert Hoover (1929-1933), whose mothers were born respectively in England and Canada.


That’s the info that I found...

I mentioned a few weeks ago and am still leaning toward the belief that Obama may not have a birth certificate from any country.Yes, I think he was born in Kenya, like his grandma says. However, it has not been that many years ago that babys born here at home in the states had their birth recorded in the family Bible. I knew guys in the service that had that and only that to prove who they were. Now, back in the 60’s, it takes no stretch of the immagination to believe his mom could have boarded a flight back to the states,US Passport in hand, babe in arms, and never be questioned about the baby. Once in HI, the colb, as we all know, would be easy to obtain. No computers back in the 60’s allowed many a person to be able to change their identity, and many people in trouble with the law did just that.I think thats whyBOM is not worried about anyone finding his BC, it likely does not exist.That is another reason why he does not produce it, he doesn’t have one.

It doesn’t matter where his parents were born; only their citizenship matters.

So, right or constitutionally wrong, Obama’s parents citizenship won’t realistically factor in becuase of precedent of these other POTUS with foreign parents.

Still, he needs to prove his own citizenship. Period. Arrogant POS.
