Unless the Supreme Court decides otherwise, there are only 2 types of citizens. Those who were not born citizens but earned citizenship sometime after birth (naturalized) and those born with citizenship whether here to foreign parents or abroad to US parents. If you gained citizenship at birth you are a natural born citizen and all this crazy talk otherwise is nothing but wasted bandwidth.

If I were you, I would choose my words more carefully - such as:

" ... If you gained citizenship at birth you are a natural born citizen ..."

You are merely stating your opinion about this - back it up with documentation. And remember, the definition of "natural born citizen" that counts is the one that the Founding Fathers knew - not modern interpretations of it.

Please be advised that there are many posters on this thread that HAVE done the research into this AND are more than willing to rip you a new one if you can't back up your statements with documentation. And they WON'T use Vaseline ...

To enlighten yourself before proceeding, I would suggest reading ALL of the following: Calvin’s Case [1608], the British Nationality Act of 1730, Blackstone’s Commentaries on the Laws Of England, and Dicey’s A Digest of the Law of England with Reference to the Conflict of Laws as they pertain to citizenship/subjectship.

Lmo56,

If douginthearmy is truly in the US Army, he’s undoubtedly motivated to go out of his way to define, at least in his mind, that Obama is a natural born citizen, despite the fact that he has admitted that he was born, like our Founders, with dual US (maybe) and British citizenship. If douginthearmy were to be convinced that Obama is not qualified to hold office, he would be honor bound by oath to defend and protect the Constitution by refusing any unlawful orders emanating from a pretender Commander in Chief. For many, ignorance is bliss.
