'It doesn't matter where Obama was born. If his mother was a US citizen, then he is.'

You are correct, but I do have some questions.

That's just a ridiculous thing to say at this point. It's wrong.

Read the footnotes to 8 USC Sec. 1401(g) which set out the legislation by which that statute was modified over the years.

If Obama was born in Kenya to Stanley Ann Dunham Obama, a US Citizen mother, and an alien (non-citizen) father married to his mother, he is not a US Citizen absent a naturalization proceeding. And if became a Citizen as a result of a naturalization proceeding, he is disqualified under Article II, Sec. 1, Par. 4 of the US Constitution from serving as President. Simple as that.

There is a fine legal opinion on a separate thread posted here: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2040753/posts

Read it. If you have a problem with any of the words, let me know.

I was not aware of the statute you are citing and admit I was wrong. Your comment about “having a problem with any of the words” is downright insulting and you owe me an apology.
