That’s the implication rumpswab.

Really? Let's take a look at the whole post, shall we?

"Wouldn’t he have been considered a citizen even if he was born in another country, if his mother was a citizen."

Yes, it appears so — but it gets a little iffy, since Obama’s Mother was 18 when he was born, so technically she didn’t meet the requirement of residing in the US for 5 years after age 14 — but, as I said, this could be just a technicality.

... “If both parents are U.S. citizens, at least one resided in the U.S. before the child’s birth.

If one parent is a U.S. citizen, the U.S. citizen parent must have resided in the U.S. for 10 years, at least 5 of which were after age 14.”

But his Father was a citizen of Kenya at the time, would that make Obama also a citizen of Kenya with dual citizenship? I read somewhere that he has dual citizenship. Did he ever renounce his Kenyan citizenship?

Nope. No indication, at all, not even an incling, that Obama's father's citizenship might make him ineligible if born in the USA. The entire post is about the implications of his father's citizenship if he were born in abroad.

So no, Electric Graffiti, you haven't found an example of someone making the two-citizen-parent argument.

No soup for you!

The thread was whether or not your dream mandingo butt buddy was a Natural Born Citizen.

You asked if someone brought up the citizenship of his father. FocusNexus did.

You lose, you ignorant puffed up smidgen of blow-fish sh!t.
