“The biggest problem with Sven’s allegations is that the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security are formally on record with their denial that Obama was ever a citizen of Indonesia and their assertion that Obama was born in Hawaii and is a natural-born citizen of the United States.”

Not true. DOS and DHS did not make a positive “assertion that Obama was born in Hawaii and is a natural-born citizen of the United States.”

DOS and DHS made a denial of the “allegation” of the plaintiff sufficient to avoid a default judgment in favor of the plaintiff. A denial in an answer to a lawsuit does not require a positive assertion that Barry IS NBC or WAS born in HI or provision of any evidence or citation of any case law.

Here is what DOS and DHS denied:

“To the extent this paragraph alleges that PresidentObama is not a natural-born citizen of the United States, that allegation is denied. Specifically, Defendants deny that President Obama was born in Kenya or anywhere outside the state of Hawaii.”

Note the lawyerly parsing. They don’t say Barry is NBC or that he was born in HI. If they did that they could be forced to defend such claims with evidence if the matter went to trial.

Of course they stated that Obama is a NBC and that he was born in Hawaii. There is no other way of reading that statement without throwing logic out the window. Moreover, any court in the country will read it that way. And so will any Congressman.
