We already know that Obama is not QUALIFIED to be the President, we now know that he is not ELIGIBLE to be President under American law.
This is a great comment to a post over at Michelle Malkin’s blog:

Barack Obama is not legally a U.S. Natural-born citizen according to the law on the books at the time of his birth, which falls between “December 24, 1952 to November 13, 1986? . Presidential office requires a natural-born citizen if the child was not born to two U.S. Citizen parents, which of course is what exempts John McCain though he was born in the Panama Canal. US Law very clearly stipulates: “…If only one parent was a U.S. Citizen at the time of your birth, that parent must have resided in the United States for at least ten years, at least five of which had to be after the age of 16.” Barack Obama’s father was not a U.S. Citizen and Obama’s mother was only 18 when Obama was born, which means though she had been a U.S. Citizen for 10 years, (or citizen perhaps because of Hawai’i being a territory) the mother fails the test for being so for at least 5 years **prior to** Barack Obama’s birth, but *after* age 16. It doesn’t matter *after* . In essence, she was not old enough to qualify her son for automatic U.S. Citizenship. At most, there were only 2 years elapsed since his mother turned 16 at the time of Barack Obama’s birth when she was 18 in Hawai’i. His mother would have needed to have been 16+5= 21 years old, at the time of Barack Obama’s birth for him to have been a natural-born citizen. As aformentioned, she was a young college student at the time and was not. Barack Obama was already 3 years old at that time his mother would have needed to have waited to have him as the only U.S. Cizen parent. Obama instead should have been naturalized, but even then, that would still disqualify him from holding the office.
*** Naturalized citizens are ineligible to hold the office of President. *** Though Barack Obama was sent back to Hawaii at age 10, all the other info does not matter because his mother is the one who needed to have been a U.S. Citzen for 10 years prior to his birth on August 4, 1961, with 5 of those years being after age 16. Further, Obama may have had to have remained in the country for some time to protect any citizenship he would have had, rather than living in Indonesia. Now you can see why Obama’s aides stopped his speech about how we technically have more than 50 states, because it would have led to this discovery. This is very clear cut and a blaring violation of U.S. Election law. I think the Gov. Of California would be very insterested in knowing this if Obama were elected President without being a natural-born U.S. Citizen, and it would set precedence. Stay tuned to your TV sets because I suspect some of this information will be leaking through over the next several days…
DAWG! This guy really is about flaunting his illegal behavior in all of our faces, isn’t he?
Is this for real?
This is the kind of stupidity that will disparage anything bloggers say. There is no doubt that Barak Obama is a natural born U.S. citizen. To say otherwise, or even to insinuate otherwise, sounds about as paranoid and irrational as the “truthers”.
Does anyone really want to sound as paranoid and irrational as them?
But do you honestly think that a lawsuit about this would fly? I would like to think so, but I doubt too much within our judicial system to think they would care about a silly thing like our Constitution.
If this is true, and if Obama is not eligible, according to the rules, the Democrats will not care. And if someone (the Supreme Court?) tells the Democrats “Rules must be followed. You have to care. It’s over” …
Well … our cities will burn.
I’ll drink to that!
Attention to legendx3, Hillary wants to bear your child!
You really may be on to something here!
Call Fox News and they will invite you to be on with Bill O’Reilly where you can make a fool of yourself in front of millions.
Hillary has a plan!
thank you for saying that. I wanted to but thought I would be labeled a troll.
I think if he was ineligible to be US President then this would have been discovered ... you know like around 2004, when he first became senator, because even then we knew he’d run.
Could the same have been said of Barry Goldwater? He was born in Arizona before it became a state ... at that time it was just a territory ... it became a state in 1912 and he was born before that ...
It would be a good idea to have those running for office submit their birth certificate, so it can be examined for authenticity. That is only prudent, given the times in which we live.
If a Mexican drops a baby in Texas and it is a citizen, I guess his mama dropping him in Hawaii will qualify him too.
Dah! Dah! Dah!
Di! Di! Dih!
S.O.S. HELP!
Well, “if” this is true (and I’m a bit dubious) then a complaint would have to be filed with the FEC and a Lawsuit started to determine the facts of the matter.
The “10 and 5” rule is new to me, it sounds like post 1966 Immigration Law about “Anchor Babies”.
You would think that one of his opponents from either party would have raised this issue if they thought there was anything to it.
How is following the law stupid?
That may be fine, depending which cities that might be.
“Is this for real?”
No, but it is about the thirteenth thread on this subject.
