Please explain to me how a dual national (as Hussein is, not even debated) at birth qualifies as NATURAL BORN? Read Paragraph 4 at the US State Dept. site located here states "...dual nationals owe allegiance to both the United States and the foreign country. They are required to obey the laws of both countries. Either country has the right to enforce its laws, particularly if the person later travels there..."

This brings us right back to ORIGINAL INTENT. Does you honestly believe that the Founding Fathers would in any way risk the election of a president of their new Republic who had allegiances and loyalties to England? A Revolution had just been won, and the King lost!

The founding Fathers knew full well the meaning of Natural Born Citizen, and Vattel's Law of Nations specifically outlined the definition, of which Benjamin Franklin concurred: Born on US Soil to two US citizen parents.

U.S. Supreme Court

U.S. v. WONG KIM ARK, 169 U.S. 649 (1898)

169 U.S. 649

It thus clearly appears that by the law of England for the last three centuries, beginning before the settlement of this country, and continuing to the present day, aliens, while residing in the dominions possessed by the crown of England, were within the allegiance, the obedience, the faith or loyalty, the protection, the power, and the jurisdiction of the English sovereign; and therefore every child born in England of alien parents was a natural-born subject, unless the child of an ambassador or other diplomatic agent of a foreign state, or of an alien enemy in hostile occupation of the place where the child was born.

III. The same rule was in force in all the English colonies upon this continent down to the time of the Declaration of Independence, and in the United States afterwards, and continued to prevail under the constitution as originally established.

You need to read that State Dept. page more carefully. You cannot lose your U.S. citizenship unless you choose to obtain citizenship in another country. So Obama was born with dual citizenship, yes. That does not make him any less of a natural born citizen, though. Certainly a question would be raised if he had dual citizenship today, but he doesn’t, so it’s a non-issue. The accident of birth that gave him dual citizenship does not deprive him of the rights of a natural born citizen.

Is he really a NBC? I don’t know. I don’t think it’s likely the State of Hawaii would knowingly participate in a fraud. Is there a fraud that Hawaii doesn’t know about and is itself a victim of? That’s possible, but as of now, there is no evidence to support that theory.

He’s a socialist/communist enemy of America, of that much I am sure. And IF he was born in Hawaii, he’s a NBC.
