sigh..... newbie, but at least an open-minded newbie.

There is no doubt that the Usurper is a US Citizen.

that is not the issue. What is at issue is if he is a natural born citizen. And the only way that can be is if he was born on US soil.


Close, but no cigar. Obama did not have to be born on American soil to be considered Natural Born.

If both his parents were citizens, then it would not have made any difference where he was born.

However, according to the law in effect at the time, if the person in question (Obmaa) was born outside the US, and if only one parent was an American citizen (his mother), she must have lived in the US for at least 5 years since the age of 16, in other words, she had to be at least 21 years of age.

But she was 18 when Obama was born.

Plus there are all the other questions about whether he lost his citizenship when his step-father took him to Indonesia and he supposedly became an Indonesian citizen and never reclaimed his US citizenship.

And whether or not the fact that he got also got British Citizenship from his father.

And on, and on...

Yes, I have also heard this scenario. But, again, I cannot find any legal foundation for such a claim.

Do you have any?
