According all the historical evidence from the time of the founding & from papers of the founders/framers, dual citizenship was not an option. The only citizens were those born to a citizen father(wife followed the condition of the husband) therefore the child was born with 2 citizen parents, out of wedlock to an American mother or they became citizens by naturalization(consent).

Brings up an interesting point. The highlighted portion is VERY relevant to President Obama, as it is now known that Barack Obama Sr. was not actually divorced from his previous wife, meaning his marriage to President Obama's mother was invalid (illegal within the US - null and void). He was born, legally, out of wedlock. I wonder how that plays into your statement here!

And you would be wrong since there are divorce papers on file in the state of Hawaii acknowledging their marriage, its date, and that Barack is a child of that marriage.

Sorry, there are official Hawaiian State Court divorce papers in which Obama Sr laid claim to his child. You can not change the nativity story after the fact without purging ones self and Obama is NOT about to do that. But it does go to the length of consipracy the drones will go to justify their position.

Don't be so certain. There was a divorce, not an annulment or whatever a legal recognition that a marriage never existed. Since Stanley Ann asked for no child support or allimony (alimony was pretty standard in 1961 divorces) why would she have bothered with a divorce if they weren't married? She clearly knew of the first "wife" by that time.

But the point is, that the marriage was apparently legally recognized at the time, and thus BHO Sr would be legally recognized as the father, even if biologically he was not. A father who was not a US citizen, and who even though absent, had a great influence on BHO's outlook and attitudes. I mean he wrote, or had Bill Ayers write, a whole book about the "Dreams from my Father".

That hut is not in Kansas.
