Obama could have applied to be a Kenyan citizen (based on his father’s citizenship). He did not.

In addition, the Kenyan Constitution would have required Obama to reject his US citizenship, which he did not do. Failing to do that by 23, he cannot ever claim Kenyan citizenship.

On the question of NBC, Obama was born in the USA and has never shown any interest in claiming British citizenship - so he has undivided loyalty - at least, legally. And he certainly has no loyalty to the UK - he can’t even show minimal politeness to the UK PM!

So no. His only citizenship is his birth citizenship in the US, and no court will overturn the 2008 election because Obama has a divided loyalty to the Queen of England!

The very idea is so ludicrous that only a birther could avoid laughing...

The Constitution says:

“Natural born citizen.”

NOT natural born American citizen

John Jay is the originator of the article II eligibility clause, and in correspondence he underlines the word *born* in the phrase natural born citizen.

“Natural born citizen” does not need to include the word American - that's because its Vattel’s legal definition of NBC as birth by two citizen parents on the soil of the nation and that automatically excludes other nationalities.

Fukino’s trickery does not work because a dual citizen could be a natural born Kenyan citizen [blood] AND a natural born American citizen [soil], but NEVER a natural born citizen.

That is why Fukino does not use the exact expression found in the constitution, because of the use of verbal gymnastics to fool the public with something that sounds good but turns to dust on closer forensic examination.

If Obama was born a dual citizen, that excludes him from being a natural born citizen.

The election would not be overturned because the constitution does not tie the VP post to office of POTUS. Party rules have no effect on the constitution.

If Obama is removed for being ineligible by a Quo warrento action, the VP would be POTUS by default.

Only if Biden, now POTUS, insists on a new election, could SCOTUS even approach the issue. Perhaps SCOTUS could order a Presidential special election, with the consent of both the Democratic and Republican party, as a way out of the constitutional crisis.

If Biden refused, he would remain POTUS unless impeached.

If he is impeached after the November mid terms, it is possible the House speaker, 2nd in succession, and possibly a republican, would be POTUS.

The sheer reckless insanity of putting an ineligible candidate up as Democratic party candidate, why the very idea is so crazy only a communist ideologue would attempt such a coup against the constitution.

Who mentioned Kenyan citizenship?

Not I.

He wasn't BORN with it.

He WAS born a subject to the crown of her majesty the Queen of England.

How could you be so cold so as to try an deny him that birthright, by way of his father! To attempt to deny the man his heritage. Terrible.
