This article explains that Birthright Citizenship and Dual Citizenship are not Constitutional, which was confirmed by a 2005 Congressional Hearing. It includes testimony from the Hearing and links to Constitutional experts. It shows that these members of Congress understood that Obama’s type of birthright citizenship/ dual citizenship was unconstitutional and therefore should have disqualified him as a “natural born citizen”.

The problem is Dual Citizenship was made "Constitutional" by the Supreme Court with the Schneider v. Rusk case in 1964.

It would take a constitutional amendment to outlaw dual citizenship, and frankly, it is one that is definitely needed.

When I became an American citizen I did not attain dual citizenship...

Before I could go through the ceremony to be sworn in as an American citizen,

I had to renounce my New Zealand citizenship...

It was difficult for me to do, but I did it...

When I was sworn in as a brand new American citizen I only had that one alleigence...

to America as an American citizen...

I dont understand dual citizenship...

I didnt think there was any such thing...

Perhaps you could offer some third world dictator a bribe for him to declare Obama a citizen of his country thus making Obama a dual citizen and not qualified to be president.

“Birthright Citizenship—automatically granted to all children born on US soil to parents who are not US citizens—is not grounded in the reality of the Constitution. And even though dual citizenship is now tolerated, the oath for US naturalized citizens specifically disallows allegiance to any other country.”

She’s right!

“Every Person born within the limits of the United States, and subject to their jurisdiction, is by virtue of natural law and national law a citizen of the United States. This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the Government of the United States, but will include every other class of persons.”

Senator Jacob Howard,
co-author of the citizenship clause of the 14th Amendment, 1866.

HOW CAN A NATURAL BORN CITIZEN'S STATUS BE "GOVERNED" BY GREAT BRITAIN?

 

“When Barack Obama Jr. was born on Aug. 4,1961, in Honolulu, Kenya was a British colony, still part of the United Kingdom’s dwindling empire. As a Kenyan native, Barack Obama Sr. was a British subject whose citizenship status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.‘s children.

It can't. Of course not. Yet, right there, on his campaign web site F.T.S., it's stated that a foreign government "governed" Barry from birth and the reason it did, was that Barry inherited that foreign citizenship by way of his foreign national father (no matter where he was born). Assuming, of course, that Sr. was his legal father at birth.
How, then, could he possibly be a "Natural Born Citizen" of the U.S.?
Barry Soetoro, the divided citizen at birth!

Furthermore:  Hawaii's Territorial Law, Chapter 57 - "VITAL STATISTICS, I", shown beginning pg 23 of 29, (the law in effect in 1961) allowed baby's born anywhere in the world to be eligible to apply for a Hawaii birth certificate based on the word of 1 relative. That is how a foreign born baby could get a HI BC on record, which in turn generates the "birth announcements" in the newspapers.

How about just eligibilitiers?

That’s what most people are, and it can’t be painted by Alinskyites as somehow extremist or kooky.
