Obama's a citizen because he was born in Hawaii. It doesn't matter where his parents were born.

Are you up on what the difference between a native born citizen and what the Constitution requires "Natural Born Citizen" whether or not it has been settled yet?

and it won’t be settled now. If he was born there, no one is going to look any further since the constitution does not outline what a natural born citizen is.

If this is real, then there are no names suprrises either... which was the only thing I saw as a potential embarassment.

I don't see why the definition of "natural born citizen" matters. He's a "citizen" as defined by the Fourteenth Amendment.

Article II, Section I of the Constitution requires the President to be "a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States".

Please correct me if I'm wrong.
