Even if he was born in Kenya, Senator Obama is, by every definition I can find for it, a "neutralizing" American citizen as long as he had at least one properly qualified American citizen birth parent. No one has suggested that his mother wasn't a US citizen at the time of his birth, so the question is not one of eligibly for the office of President. He is. The question is why the reluctance to provide a certified physical copy of his Hawaii COLB for examination by the press and public?

Your post is another one of those that leads me to want to question your reading skills.

No. If he was born in Kenya, he is neither a US Citizen nor eligible to hold the office of president.

A person born outside the US to two parents who are married to each other (in any kind of legally cognizable relationship) where one of the parents is a US Citizen, the other an alien, is a US Citizen under 8 USCA Sec. 1401(g) only if the the citizen parent was a US resident for ten years prior to the birth of which five were after the age of 16. Since the citizen parent was the mother who was 18, she failed by definitiion.

Which word is a problem?

Yesterday before all Germany, Obama claimed to be both citizen of the US and citizen of the world. That’s a a big clue, too. He knows as well as anyone where he was born.
