Native born citizen, citizen by statute, and naturalized citizen ALL are citizenships determined by law BECAUSE they are not ‘natural’ citizenship.
A natural born citizen is the only form mentioned in the U.S.Constitution describing eligibility for the President. It doesn’t need a stinking statute. So I’ll say it again — a natural born citizen is born in the nation where the parents are BOTH citizens.
Barack Hussein Obama Sr. was in Hawaii on a student visa. He had no intention of ever becoming a U.S.citizen or permanent resident. His son, Barack Hussein obama II was registered by his father as a British subject.
The holding of Wong Kim Ark concerns persons, the parents, who were “permanently domiciled” here. Both parents were subjects of the Emperor of China and, according to a treaty with the U.S.A., forbidden from naturalizing as U.S. citizens. Obama Sr. was never permanently domociled in this country and never intended to naturalize as a U.S. citizen.
“As the court in Minor said, a natural born citizen (nbc) is unquestionably a citizen, before and after the adoption of the 14th amendment. An nbc needs no amendment, statute or confirmation at all - is is self evident that he is a citizen of the US and hence his citizenship is natural born. In Wong Kim Ark the Court indicated that the native born child of an alien is not natural born. Those who deny it still don’t know what the meaning of is ‘is’.” (Per Leo Donofrio)
Even if born in Hawaii, the POTUS is still a British subject because that, unlike Kenyan citizenship or Indonesian citizenship, doesn’t lapse at 18 or 21 years of age unless reaffirmed. (In the case of Indonesian citizenship, which does not allow dual citizenship, repudiation of the other nation’s citizenship must also occurr).
The only way to terminate being a British subject is to naturalize as a citizen to another nation. At most POTUS is a dual citizen with split allegiences. He is ‘native born’ if indeed he was born in the U.S.A. But he will never be a ‘natural born citizen’.
And calling other people crazy and insane can get you kicked off of Free Republic. Watch yourself!
Citizen at birth = Natural born citizen
And where is that defined?
